congress- work and held that the nation had been restored to its his- toric neutrality position. Tried to Stay
 Congress made substantial stand against MT. Roosevelt's insistence that 1t go home last night after dealing with neutrality. It was 6 lost cause. But Republicans with Democratic support mustered 25 votes in the senate against the ad. journment resolution and there were l89 votes in the house to stay. Those minority votes were in large degree votes of little or no confidence in MT. Roosevelt and an expression of opinion that United States peace would be better safeguarded with congress on the job than with MT. Roosevelt dealing with foreign af- fairs unhampered by formal con- gressional observation.
 The president foresaw that situa- ton and proposed at the outset that senate and house leaders of both parties remain here until congress meets in January as 8 group of in formal observers. There has not been much enthusiasm for that plan although house leaders probably will be in the city more or less contin- uously during the next two months A senate leader or two probably would be available If the president should seek congressional advice. His farewell, however, intimated that any major complexity developing from Europe's war might cause con- gress to be summoned again in spe- cial session before January.

 1t arrived officials of the United States lines would assume respon- sibility for discharge of it's cargo.
 W. B. Wooley and Co.,, agents for the United States lines at Glasgow, said to the United Press, however, that they had no information official or unofficial that the City of Flint would dock there.
 There was still question in the minds of shipping experts about the City of Flint's status under the re- vised American neutrality law. But pending clarification, the United States lines said that the Flint would continue to its original destination
 Even before news came of the U s. tines message, London papers blazoned reports that the ship was coming to Britain.
 It was believed that Capt. Gainard might take his ship to the Mersey without advising the United States lines, in order to give the Germans no clue to its movements. As re- gards the possibility that British warships might convoy the ship, il was suggested that the United States did not admit that its cargo was contraband and that therefore the ship might make its own way.
 The Evening Standard, owned by well-informed Lord Beaverbrook asserted that the ship was coming to Glasgow, Scotland. The Evening News, of the Rothermere chain, said that 1t was coming to England which to an Englishman, might mean anywhere in Great Britain.
 Oflcial spokesmen declined to comment on Norway's action, or Ger many's possible retort. British au- thorities were assumed, naturally not to be displeased that after its strange voyage and American com ments on the course of Russia and Germany, the ship had been released
 Aside from the idea that there had been no development unfavorable tc Great Britain, 1t was not unpleasant for the British to sit on the side- lines and watch the progress of 6 situation which could hardly re- bound to their disfavor.
 Further. official quarters seemed to want to wait until the whole sit- uation concerning the City of Flint had been clarified. They foresaw the possibility of legal complications including the status of the ships cargo.

A Democratic victory in Water bury on the 14th would be greeted with cheers by the Democratic state organization, for 1t would indicate that Waterbury could be counted on for a Democratic ma jority next year. Only a short time ago, the Democrats were conceded little or no chance here; now they are confident that they can win.

Republicans are waging aggres- sive campaigns In Hartford and in New Haven, but their drives for votes have seemingly failed to catch hold of the popular im- agination. In Hartford, 1t Is At- torney Joseph Griffin, able and popular, who is opposing Mayor Thomas Spellacy. In New Haven it is Alderman William Celantano, veteran Republican worker, who Is battling Mayor John w. Murphy.
 The Spellacy candidacy has strong backing. The Capital City Mayor is supported by a united party, thanks to the healing of previous breaches, and his reelec- tion Is being urged by the normal ly Republican Hartford Courant.

win.
 The issues in the elections in all four cities are purely local, but that does not mean that they will not be of statewide significance. Democrats can win any state elec- ton only by rolling up large ma jorities in the cities, and the bal- loting in the next two weeks will reveal just how strong the party is in the four most populous cities , in Connecticut.
 The local campaign, which has been longer than usual, goes into its last stages next week. The withdrawal of Mayor Perriello as the only candidate of the Inde- pendent Republican party leaves only four tickets on the machines, with two of them identical. The Democrats and Independent Dem- socrats have the same set of can- didates; opposing them are the nominees of the Republican and Socialist parties.
 Perhaps the most notable feat ure of the campaign here is the way the Republican strategists have sought to make 1t appear that the candidate for mayor is the late Controller Sherwood L, Rowland rather than Charles c. Foster. To many it seems rather [ poor taste to keep injecting Mir, ROwland's name into the appeal ' for c. o. P. votes.
 Republican speakers are urg- ing the election of MT. Foster not on the basis of his own ability, but because he was an appOintee of MT. Rowland.
 The Democrats in past elections have had strong organizations here, but seldom has the emphasis been placed so strongly on organ ization as this year. Detailed plans for twork in each of the 32 dis tricts have been laid out and are being followed.
 In selecting its new town chair man, the Democratic town com- mittee could have made no wiser choice than Joseph F. Mulville. He brings to the position the advan- tage of wide personal popularity in :. all groups. plus political training and experience. He can be de- pended on to wield an extremely vigorous influence in the party's affairs and build an active, mili- tant Democratic organization.

In Bridgeport, the Democrats and Republicans have both been peppering at Mayor McLevy. but their candidates do not seem to have aroused any great excitement on the part of the voters. It Is with an almost admitted defeatist attitude that the two major parties are campaigning against the popular Socialist mayor.
 The Democratic leadership in the state would like nothing bet- ter than to win the New Haven ana Hartford elections by big majorities and keep Mayor Me- Levy from making runaway of 1t in Bridgeport.

Mayor Murphy in New Haven is a solid vote-getter, and has par ticularly strong backing in the ranks of organized labor.
 Both MT. Spellacy and MT. Mur- .phy should be returned to office by comfortable margins. However, the Spellacy majority of 15,0oo of two years will probably not be duplicated, and 1t may be that Mayor Murphy's majority may ex- ceed that of the Hartford mayor.

Raleigh, Feb. 13.-The one hundred
counties in North Carolina, particular
ly the smaller counties, got the short
end of finance committee trade last
week. The counties and cities made
such a strong demand for a larger
share of the intangibles taxes, that
the committee voted to give them Is
per cnt instead of tn so per cent they
got last year. But the transfer of Con-
federate widows pensions to the old
age benefit fund means that counties
will hereaftr have to pay one-fourth
of these pensions, whereas the State
formerly paid it all. And the intan
gibles return is being used as ar2u-
ment also to shut off the cities and
towns demands for additional high
way money for streets.
Spending With Lid Off.
The big money committees cons:d-
red many items during the week, and
found Friday afternoon when sessions
ended that the appropriations boys
had spent nearly a million dollars
