FEDERAL SLUETHS
 SEEKING WIRELESS
 STATION NEAR HERE

Wireless messages emanating from Connecticut and believed to be de- stined for British battleships off the port of New York, in violation Of neu-
 traIfty laws, have caused many gov ernment officials to secretly invade this
 state in an effort to locate the send
 efs.
 f It is stated that the messages which
 are caught nightly by receiving sta tions, are within that radius lying be-
 tween Hartford and Bridgeport, and 8
 most stringent effort upon the part 1 of the government to locate those re-
 sponsible is being made.
 Though there are many receiving
 stations in Bridgeport, it is not known i that any sending apparatus is at work here, though 1t would be a simple mat l ter for those having aerials to install I the sending devices It could not be | learned today that any attempt upon
 the part of government officials had been made to curb the experiments
 of amateur wireless operators who are
 already barred from sending messages
 by federal law, unless they acquire
 8 certificate of proficiency and obtain | the necessary license.
 l Donald Noble, the credited authority l in this section upon all matters per
 taining to wireless apparatus. who is | largely interested in the manufacture
 of Instruments for government and other. commercial work today denied
 that any license was held in this city were many %srnaH stations for receiving l there was none in this vicinity equip ped to send messages far out to seq. The whereabouts of the sending sta- | ton is therefore not likely to be Io- cated in. this cityfunIess the advantage
 has been taken of some hidden recess
 within the interior of Fairfield coun- ty
