BOLSHEVIKI WOULD
SUPPRESS PAPER
Intercepted Wireless Mesuge Coin
ing From Coeiiluicii Tell of Plans
on LmiHkm Periodical. '
London, Au. 19. X series of
wireless message between George
Tchitcherin. bolshevik foreign min
ister, and Maxim LUvlnofT, bolshevik
representative in Copenhagen, deal
ing with financial transactions be
tween the soviet government and the
London Daily Herald, was officially
made public here today. These mes-
sages which were intercepted in sev
eral European countries, so far as
can be judged from the apparently
curtailed text, show that Lllvlnoff
was urging Tchitcherin to subsidize
the Herald.
A message sent in February de
clared the newspaper was losing 1,
000 pounds per week, and In another
sent in July Litvinoff said the paper
again was in financial difficulties and
needed 60.000 francs for six months.
Later the bolshevik foreign minis
ter telegraphed to Litvinoff direct
ing him to tell the management of
the Herald that a "subsidy would be
paid" and that he had ordered cer
tain Chinese bonds to be handed over
to the newspaper.
KLETT NOT TO RUN
FOR STATE SENATE
Does Not Wish to Succeed
Himself Hargreaves For
Representative.
George W. Klett announced today
that he wuld not be a candidate for
the office of state senator to succeed
himself In the coming elections. Tho
presumption among local politicians
is that the Senator has other aspira
tions up his sleeve and that his name
will be presented to tne electorate of
the state rather than to the voters of
Xew Britain when' election time rolls
around. His name has been men
tioned for the post of lieutenant gov
ernor, though no assertions that ho
will positively run have been heard.
In his place, Edward Hall, now repre
sentative, has been put forward for
the nomination.
The removal of Klett from, the trio
of representatives that Is given New
Britain in the state has called for
another addition to tne ranks of can
didates and such was furnished today
by City Clerk Harry Hargreaves, who
has stated that he wishes to run for
thfe 'legislature. Representative Rleh
ird Covert, while he has not commit
ted himself, is in a receptive state cf
mind for the other representative
candidacy. This would make the legis
lative ticket as far as announced can
didacies are concerned. Hall for Sen
ator, and Covert and Hargreaves for
representatives ( although there may
be further aspirants for a seat in
Hartford before election.
Although he has teen associated
with the office of the city clerk for a
number of years. Mr. Hargreaves is a
comparatively new figure in politics.
His connections with the "ci,ty govern
ment and also the state through his
affiliations with tho National Guard
have furnished him with an' abun
dance of useful information which he
believes ho can put to good advan
tage if elected.
Should he become a candidate
Major Hargreaves will be in a position
to draw the soldier vote. It Is be
lieved. He has been a member of tho
National Guard In Pennsylvania and
Connecticut for more than 20 years.
He saw sen-ice at the Mexican border
and in France and Germany. Before
going overseas he was commissioned
a captain and while with the A. E. F.
woiya majority. Major Hargreaves is
a member of the American Legion
and Rouillard-Linton post of the Sol
diers", Sailors' and Marines' associa

Marion I'ront Porch.
president Albert F. Corbin, of the
Third Ward Republican club, today
received word from the republican
national committee at New York, that
Congressman Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio, son-in-law. of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, will be the principal
speaker at the annual outing of tho,
club at Lake Compounce on Septem-i
ber 11. In securing a speaker of the
prominence of the Ohio statesman,
the club is to be congratulated, es It
assures those in attendance,' of listen
ing to one of the biggest men In the
G. O. P. whom the party, lead
ers look upon as one of the ablest
representatives in congress. ,
Ijongvorth's Ability.
Congressman Longworth has served
eight terms in congress from Ohio,
the state that is furnishing both
candidates for the presidency. He
is one of the chief stump speakers that
the republican national committee
is sending throughout the country in.
the campaign. He will tour the state
of Maine.
As the democrats have arranged to
have Governor James M. Cox,, the
party standard bearer at, New Haven
on August 26, there will be something
of importance for Congressman Long
worth to relate at the Lake Com
pounce outing. From the same spot
that Senator Warren G. Harding, the
republican presidential candidate.
United States Senator John W. Weeks,
of Massachusetts, and other republi
can notables have delivered stirring
political talks In the past before? the'
Third Ward club members and guests.
Congressman Longworth .will outline
the policies in the campaign,' and his
talk will no doubt instill that en
thusiasm that has been lacking here,
despite the fact that the election Is
but a few short months away.
A Friend of Harding's.
Congressman Longworth to said to
be Imbued with the same political en
thusiasm that -made his noted father-in-law
so powerful and beloved - in
the ranks of the republican party. He
is well acquainted with Senator Hard
ing, and will be able to tell much, of
the man whom the G. O. P. has en
trusted the mission of bringing back
Into power, the ' republican party.
The vital question of "the day, .the
League of Nations, will be gone into
by the speaker. -
Wilbur C Brown Will Attend.
President Corbin also received
word this morning that Colonel Wil
bur C. Brown, of Fostoria, Ohio, an
intimate friend of Senator Harding,
will be in ' attendance at the coming
outing, and while he is not scheduled
as a speaker, he will convey to the
gathering a personal message from
the candidate to the club and guests
assembled on the day. Colonel Brown
was on the staff of the martyred
President William McKinley.
Outing Pbtns.
The outing will be held two days
after the republican state conventioul
and there is every likelihood that the
candidates selected to carry the re
publican banner 1ftIte-Nutmpi aUU.
will be on hand. At several affairs
within the past few weeks which
Senator George W. Klett has attended,
there was plenty of enthusiasm dis
played regarding the coming outing.

Some of the notables who have al
ready signified their intention of at
tending are: Governor Marcus H.
Holcomb, Lieutenant-Governor Clif

of the state central committee, Colonel

The committees in charge of the
coming affair, are working hard to
make It a success, and now that the
