A Letter From Mr. Harrity Said to Deny Some Statements Heretofore Made. There were a few new and, to some extent, un- expected ripples upon the ordinarily dis- turbed surface of District democracy today. Definite information as to cise cause was hard ing about it, while Chairman Weller and his | friends were silent as men could be. It is understood. however,that Mr. Weller has recently come into possession of a large superbly knotted club with which Mr, Manogueis tobe belabored. Some time ago in an alleged intorview Mr. Manogue stated that he was acting under advice given him by Chairman Harrity of the demo- cratic national committee. This statement reached Mr. Harrity'’s ears and tho result is to be found, say the gos- sips, in a letter from thet gentleman to » prominent local democrat. This epistle is un- retood to contain several forcible ex- pressions, and one or two of those who have seen it say thet Mr. Harrity ave any advice verey. and that the use of bis name by Mr. Manogue is without any authority whatever. ——.—_— Ex-Detective Raff's Insanity.
