TELEGRAPH OPERATORS DENY
TRUTH OF CONNOLLY’S STORY
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Joseph
Becker, the telegraphist employed j
by Hutton ail'd Co. was examined 1
by the Rules Committee today. It
was through his hands that the dis
patch alleged to have been sent by
Francis Connolly notifying Hutton
LOCAL ITEMS.
The mystery deepens. The terri
torial democratic committee was
advised that neither Donahoe nor j
his partner Dimond were candidates
for any office or sought any endorse
ment for such. The democratic :
rank and file are now wanting to ;
know how the application of A. J.
Dimond for the district attorneyship!
of this Division came to be received
by the Divisional committee. It’s
wonderful what things are said
about who got the Dimond!
The village statesmen dauntlessly 1
attacked the international crisis in j
every resort and meeting place in ;
Nome yesterday. Some of the more
militarist enlarged upon plans for
an aggressive campaign in case of
war and what tactics should be pur
sued. The experts in diplomacy ex
pounded the whvs of breaking oft
diplomatic relations and what it
meant and how it did not signify
that war would ensue. Some de
vised plans for protecting Nome
with a submarine and discussed the
possibility of some fine morning an
enemy warship standing in the
roadstead sending projectiles that
copped the flag just as Jerry Collins
hoisted it over the Courthouse. Some
seemed to be stout opponents of
intervention in the European war
although one prominent Irishman
and democrat announced it as his
that day prior to the peace move i
of such an act upon the part of
the president was taken. He de
nied that he ever received such a
message or. the day stated or upon
any other day. No such message
he swore could have been received
by wire by Hutton without his
knowledge and he tiatlv contra
dicted Connolly in every detail. This
testimony has caused the committee
to continue over their investigation
so that they may recall Connolly
whose sensational admission that
he told Hutton caused such a stir
because of the closeness supposed
to exist between Bolling and Con
nolly and the general conclusion
made at the time that Connolly
gained his information from the
former.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2—The leak
! opinion that the worst thing that
1 could happen England was for the
i United States to join in. The pos
sibility of the coast of America be
| ing blockaded is regarded as not an
i unmixed evil by most of those who
i have been getting hot under the col
j lar with • the steadily increasing
1 prices and if the enemy could only
keep America exporteis from feed
j ing the war and starving America,
it would not be regarded as a very
serious matter. One man who read
a lot of books about tactics and
Simmonds story of the progress ot
the war with the aid of pencil and
I paper was showing how the United
j States could invade Europe without
transports, and another man admit
| ted that his sole concern was that
if foreign complications would en
i sue, living in the Kobuk would not
| be so good as the rabbits and the
, ptarmigan were practically extinct.
