dentaily mentioning that ip all rroba-
bility, the games in this tournament will

coming season. as there In no possible
chance OF master contests being ar
ranged in Europe as long "A the ma
lions are at war with each other.
Whether the young Russian expert
Alechtne will be among the competitors
cannot be stated here to any degree OF
certainty. About six months x Capa-

sian master. In which the latter ex-
pressed a desire to visit this country,
having an idea that a match between
the American champion Marshall ana
himself could be arranged. Alechine
furthermore mad an idea OF touring this
country and Canada. To this letter the
Cuban champion replied. telling Alechine
that two tournaments, one in New York
and another In Havana, probably would
be played. and when the late Mr.. Rice
subscribed $1,000 for the New York
tournament another letter was written
by Capablanca and one by the managers

Russian expert TO forthwith depart for

expected before the middle of next
month.
