IS A LlLLEY FAKE Story That Robertson Would Appoint Thrasher State Po-
 lice Chief Untrue, CANDIDATE DENIES IT Has Not Seen Former President of Law and Order League for
 Over Six Months.

Judge A, Heaton Robertson demo- cratic nominee for governor, last night denied the story which appeared In q Lllley paper yesterday to the effect that, If elected, he would appoint Sam uel Thrasher, former president of the Law and Order league, chief of the state police. The articlelin question said after a half column of personal attack on MT. Thrasher:
 For the past two weeks Thrasher has been having almost daily confer- ences with Robertson in the New Ha- ven Water company offices on Grown street and at other places in New Ha- yen"
 Judge Robertson said last night that he had not seen MT. Thrasher in over six months, so that the paragraph In the article referring to meetings here are plainly false, and the rest of the article is emphatcally denied Judge Robertson said:
 "The only campaign promise have made. or even implied, is that I will give the people of Connecticut a square, fearless administration, fl elected I have never even discussed my candidacy with MT. Thrasher, not having seen him once since was nom- l mated"

B0NAPARTE ON TRUSTS
Attorney General Believes Law Viola
 tors Favor Bryan's Election.

Baltimore, Nov, 1.-Attorney General Charles J Bonaparte In a statement made here today gave his views as to whether the trusts are supporting MT. Bryan or MT. Taft He said: That depends upon what you mean by a trust Now the vast majority of your prosperous corporations, like the vast majority of our successful businessmen are honest and law abiding and if all are to be Jumped under the same term, I have no doubt that the great bulk Of them do support MT, Taft If, however you mean by trust a combination whether of individuals or of corpora tions or of both, in restraint of trade or otherwise under the ban of our so-call- ed antitrust laws, the case Is differ ent.
 "They expect Mir Bryan, if elected to urge the passage of absurd laws which would be promptly declared un- ! constitutional if enacted and they are much less afraid of this kind of hos tlllty than of resolute and impartial but discrete aid and unobtrusive en- forcement of the principal laws.

Yellow in combination with green Is
