Joke ON MOTORISTS.
Man Posing as Harris M. Han

BORROWS FROM HIS HOSTS
Investigation Reveals Fact That
Noted Auto Driver Now Is
in Los Angeles.

More than a few Washington motorists
are gently murmuring 'Stung,' today
when they think Of a certain Suave and
plausible gentleman whom they lavisly
entertained earlier in the week while
laboring under the delusion that he was
Harris NJ. Hanshue, the famous auto
driver. The suave and plausible gentle
man departed the scene yesterday just
before word was received that the real
Mr.. Hanshue was in Los Angeles prepar-
ing for a try for some worlds records
today.
The strange gentleman with the as
sumed name dropped in last Saturday, in
troduced himself to several automobile
enthusiasts and let it be known in a most
casual manner that he was going to "Iay
off, here for several days to relieve the
nervous tension under which he had been
working.
The Automobiles were eager to shower
hospitality upon the pseudo Mr.. Hanshue
A series of dinners and luncheOnS inn

Trip to Gettysburg.
He was taken to Gettysburg by w. r.
Emerson and James Orme in a big tour
ing car. On the trip he borrowed money
from several members of the party, and
even borrowed a souvenir postal card.
which he addressed, ostentatiously, to
the Apperson Auto Company Of Kokomo.
Ind, signing Hanshue's name
Mr.. Emerson called his attention to
the fact that he didn't exactly resemble
some Of the printed pictures Of Hanshue
which he had seen.
My facial appearance has been changed
as the result of my last accident" said
the stranger with sublime effrontery.
This satisfied Mr.. Emerson for a while.
but his suspicious were aroused and he
wired the Apperson company, which
wired back that the real Hanshue was
in Los Angeles. When Mr.. Emerson
started out to find the impostor he DIS
covered that he had been suddenly called
away. The police have been notified, but
it is hardly likely that the plausible
stranger will be found Immediately.
