Kuren called at TIE Sun Office last night
to say that since his horse Bounteous failed
to win at Aaueduct on Wednesday he had
been made miserable bv those who backed
him

the bushel.- said Mr.. Davis. and they have
been calling me UP on the telephone at all
hours of the day and night until feel that

threatened even. and for that reason alone
I believe that nv correspondents must be
sppessed In some way. Among The letters
