Peter c. Dick. chief Of the local Sc
cret service bureau. said:
Il have heard nothing concerning the
matter except what I have read in the
newspapers. The statement that We are
looking for Micrael Czoigosz is not
true. Even though the man has gone
to Canton, | sec no reason for any
alarm on that score Though, Of course,
If he is there he will doubtless be To-
Gated and watched"
Asked if he would make any attempt
10 confirm the report that Czolgosz had
gone 20 Canton, Mr.. Dick replied in
the negative.
The local police oNclals express no
interest IN the report that the brother
of the assassin would attend the funer-
al OF Mrs. Mckinley.
