Washington, March 21.—Presenta- tion in the senate today of a letter from Secretary Hughes denying flatly that any secret agreement exists for future British-American co-operation led today to an effort by opponents of the four power treaty to send it back to committee. The effort brought on a warm debate. The secretary's letter characteriz- ing suggestions of such an agreement as “absolutely false,” was lald before the senate by Senator Lodge, the re- publican leader, and a member of the arms delegation who, at the same time put into the record a telegram from Paul D. Cravath, the New York at- torney, denying the accuracy of a statement on the same subject at- tributed to him by Senator Borah, re- publican, Idaho. Repeats Denial. Reiterating a denial made in a for- mer communication that any secret agreements existed with other pow- ers In connection with the arms con- ference, Mr. Hughes wrote in today's lctter that he hoped to see no “further aspersions upon the veracity and hon- or'” of the American delegates. Mr. Cravath's telegram embodied the statement issued by him last night in New York in which he declared that the words attributed to him in the statement read by Senator Borah in the senate yesterday were either inaccurately @uoted or did not cor- rectly convey his meaning. Referring to a passage in which Mr. Borah quot- ed him as saying he had been told of the ‘“‘understanding” by every mem- ber of the American delegation, Mr. Cravath said he had in fact never talked with any delegate on any sub- ject, “remotely resembilng” the al- leged international agreement. Letter To Lodge. The text of Secretary Hughes' let- ter which was addressed to Senator J.odge, follows: R ! “My Dear Senator: ; o “T notice that the latest charge in {he course of the debate over the four power treaty is that there is a sccret agreement or understanding holworfn this government and Great Britain with respect to Pacific matters. Any such statement is absolutely false. We have no secret understandings or agreements with Great Britain in re- lation to the four power treaty or any other matter. In my letter to Senator Underwood on March 11th, in relation with the four power treaty, T said: “There are no secret understandings.’ “permit me to express {he hope that the American delegates will h'o saved further aspersions upon their veracity and honor. “Falthfully yours, “CHARLES BE. HUGHES."” GED. NUSS DROPS DEAD IN YARD AT HIS HOME Cottage Place Man Falls Victim to Sudden Heart Failure « notes or George Peter Nuss, aged T8 years, dropped dead in the vard of his home at about 1 o'clock this afternoon while attending to odd jobs which he usually did about the house. Mr. Nuss was born in Germany on September 28, 1843, and came to this country when he was a young man. He was one of the best known Ger- man residents of the town, and for 10 years was president of a period of s Lutheran church St. John's German on Arch street. He is survived by two sons, George Peter Nuss, Jr., a member of the New Rritain fire department, and R. L. P. Nuss, who also lives in this city; one daughter, Mrs. J. Holzhouser of New Britain. He also leaves six grand- children. Mr. Nuss is a veteran of the Ger- man-Austrian war, as well as of the Franco-Prussian war. He was also a member of the Order of Harugari in this city. For thirty years Mr. Nuss Wi ployed at the Landers, Frary Clark manufacturing plant. He worked for the concern until Jast summer, when he was taken ill and has been at home since. Transporters Are Heavily Fined March 21.-—Joseph D'Blia, a minor, was fined $100 and Anthony Aurillo, 29, was fined $250 and given a suspended sentence of six months In jail by Judge John P. Kel- Jogg in the superior court today. Both pleaded guilty to transporting liquor on Fobruary 9. This is the first ‘case of this kind under the 1921 law to come beftre the superior court of wairfleld country. a8 em- and Liquor Bridgeport, Such Is the Beliel in Political Circles Today Announcement of Former Merchant's Name as Prospective Candidate is Proving Popular With Voters Along the Streets. Ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran's chances of winning the democrat nomination for mayor are believed to have been lessened by his decision to enter a primary contest with Alder- man Angelo M. Paonessa. Halloran Willing The former mayor apparently realizes in accepting the sixth ward- er's suggestion for a direct primary, he is granting a concession, but ex- plains that, in his opinion, the voters will have an opportunity to express themselves with a grealer degree of fairness, and if a majority is in favor of Paonessa’'s candidacy then he is willing to step aside. Mr. Halloran has been a supporter of the primary sys- tem in democratic ranks for many years. Mr. Halloran, having been elected mayor twice and state senator once, has had an opportunity to sound the sentiment in his favor throughout the city. Alderman Paonessa has held public office only as the selection of voters in the sixth ward. It is assumed that much of his strength is segregat- ed in that democratic stronghold while Mr. Halloran's support has been found to be spread over a greater ter- ritory. Should the convention system prevail, the delegates from the sixth ward would undoubtedly go to the convention instructed to vote for Pa- onessa. The possibility that the dele- gates from the other five wards would support Halloran is believed to be great since on other occasions he has found it possible to carry republican strongholds by great majorities. Advantage for Paones<a The primary system gives Paonessa a decided advantage. With almost the entire sxith ward vote at his disposal and a scattering of vote® in the other| fire districts, it is believed he can overcome the Halloran support which will be centered in no particular ward. So large is the percentage of the en- tire democrat vote represented in Mr. Paonessa’s stronghold, that it is be- lieved that a popular vote can pull him through the primary. For the past few months Mr. Pa- onessa has bgen perfecting a ward machine in the interest of his candidacy. He has appeared at sever- | af democratic meetings, while Mr. Halloran has not, as yet, made a single campaign speech. With this or- ganization at work, 1t is generally supposed that a strong Paonessa vote can be brought out to the primaries. Committee's Stand If a primary is to be held for Messrs. Halloran and Paonessa, Law- yer David I.. Dunn, chairman of the democrat town committee, wihl re. quire assurance that it will not cost| the committee a single penny. Check- ers, ballots, ballot-boxes, etc,, must be provided by the candidates. Lawyer Dunn explains that the decision of two candidates to conduct a primary does not give him sufficient grounds to expend the committee's funds. Un- less he has assurance that there will| Dunn | be no further candidates, Mr. will not favor a primary at this time. A meeting of the candidates will be held jointly with the democrat town committee today, if it is possible to arrange for such a session. A dis- cussion of plans for the primary, in- cluding finances, will take place. Since Mr. Halloran has already ated that he would not expend a single penny to bring about his nom- ination, nor would he countenance the expenditure by someone else of funds in his interests, it is possible that a hitch will come on the question of the primary. MecMillan Well Received It has been a long time since the announcing of the name of any prospective mayoralty candidate has met with such wholehearted and general favor as that which greeted the name of Dugald McMillan last night. Republicans and democrats alike profess to see in this prospective can- didate a man who they like, trust and feel that they would like to give their undivided support. Since he has not been tied up actively with any po- litical faction he has not incurred the enmity of any faction; therefore he can draw freely upon thelr support, should he decide to run. New Blood Demanded. Among both republicans and demo- crats there has heen a constant demand for ew blood,” a ‘“com- plete change,” a ‘“dark horse" candi- date, a man who "“is not a politician,"” etc. Should Mr. McMillan decide to run, this will be the chance' that voters have been looking for. Curtis, not too popular with many voters anyway, is certainly a politician of the old school and people know what to expect from him; they know that with him elected mayor he wswill be but a figurehead, while the interests and the High Moguls of the republi- can party will hold the reins. Quig- ley comes in hardly a different cata- gory. He is not tied up with the (Centinued on Twelfth Page).

MAN, NOT YET KISSED, SOUGHT BY STUDENTS versity of Michigan Ex- cited Over Alleged “Expose.” Dublin, March 21. (By Associated Press)——A special meeting of the Dail Eireann cabinet has been called for tonight to consider the situation in Belfast and along the Ulster-Free State border. Messages from the northern frontier indicate that both sides are perfecting war arrange- ments. Two more bridges have been blown up near Strabane, County Tyrone and telephone poles cut down and thrown across the road. Civilians are continuing to move across the border, fearing an outbreak of hostilities. { Dail Issues Statement. The Dail publicity department this afternoon issued a statement dealing with acts of alleged aggression by Ul- ster special constables, including dam- age to property. The statement said that James McHugh, a farmer, re- turning from a fair was forced to his knees and ordered to curse the Pope and the king and say “God bless the specials.”” McHugh refused and a volley was fired over his head. In the same district the statement afids, special constables in motor cars trred shotfs over the heads of school children. Ann Arbor, March 21.—Co-eds and male students of the University of Michigan today are combing Ann Ar- Lor in search of “the man who has never been kissed,” identified as William D. Ogden of Toledo, O. It was Ogden the students say, who has aroused the entire student body and professors by his recent article in the university daily, charging that ‘‘snug- gle pupping” and “petting” are ram- pant or the campus. Meanwhile the student so much sought had disappeared. He has not been seen at his fraternity house since the article was published and frater- nity brothers express the opinion he has secreted himself to escape possi- ble injury at the hands of irate stu- dents. The article signed *“the man who has never been kissed,” charged that “dormitory and sorority parlors were petting heavens® and that “feminine modesty is a thing of the past.” Officlals of the university are re- maining aloof from the upheaval. President Marion l.eroy Burton, when asked if an official investigation was contemplated by him, declared: *“‘Snuggly rupning’ is a phase of college life & am ignorant of, I con- sider it beneath the dignity of a uni- versity president to discuss such a thing.” Heads of various university wo- men's activities were a unit in brand- ing the charges as false. “Tommyrot and rubbish” were some of the words they used. RESUMES PLACE APRIL 3 See War Near. London, March 21. (By Associated Press)—The dangers of the situation in Ireland are emphasized by the morning newspapers, several of which take the view that little more will be needed to start civil war. Sniping be- tween the entrenched forces on eith- er side of the Ulster border has been going on for several days, and yes- terday machine guns were reported to have been brought into action. | Meanwhile disturbances continue throughout- the six county area of Ulster. Moderate opinion in the south fav- |ors joint actlon by the northern and southern governments to relieve the tension on the border, according to the Times Dublin correspondent and it is hinted elsewhere that the earn- est conference between Arthur Grif- fiths and Michael Collins yesterday was partly concerned with the possi- bility of securing such action. It was thought this might involve a prelim- inary meeting of Mr. Collins with Premier Sir James Craig of Ulster. Tension Is Severe.
