left Nev-York on Wednesday evening for Mary
land. his home State. where he will speak for the
balance of the campaign. In his would-be drastic
comments on Mr.. Eustis's letter Mr. Belmont de-
sccnded to personalities in tho same breath that
he remarked that he never used them, and accused
Mr.. Eustis Of deriving his only political status
from the fact that ne was a nephew of the late
Democratic Ambassador 10 France and former
Senator from Louisiana. Mr.. Belmont also stated
that he had had frequent conversations with the
former Amha ssador prior to his death and that he

cudgels in Mr.. EustfS's defence. saying

broke every law Of courtesy and good breeding in
giving George Eustis's letter to the press. for 1t

Eustis owes his political standing TO his unce,s

that he is the of his father, and from that
sire derives his ability ax his signature 10 fat
and plethoric checks It IS also somewhat interest
