BROADWAY STAR
 VICT|MIzES MAN
 WHO HELPED HIM
Gets $50 on Worthless Check and Tries to Get
 $1O0 More.

Discovering that Louis Cohen was wanted in New York for passing worthless checks when he was arrest ed there for the Bridgeport police, the New York authorities have noti- fled the local police that the Bridge port warrant will be held until Cohen is either sentenced or discharged on the charges to be pressed against him and then he will be turned over to the police here for prosecution. He is wanted in this city for passing a
 worthless check for $5 on Harry Perl
 mutter of 767 Broad street.
 From the complaint made by Perl
 mutter, Cohen came to this city in
 the latter part of July and obtained a room in the same house with Perl
 mutter. He posed as a New York
 actor on vacation and with his f1ashy dress and suave manner, served
 to take the part of a Broadway star. After he had made all sorts of claims for himself and created awe in the
 breasts of the other roomers by tell ing them of the manner in which he created sensations in the large New York pIayhouses. he took Perlmutter aside one day and explained the con- dition in which he was financially. Cohen told Perlmutter that he had run short of ready money and being a practical stranger in this city had no one to endorse his check. He ac- ouainted Perlmutter with the terms of the contract for which he said had signed for the coming season and elaborated upon the manner in which
 he intended to have every one. on
 Broadway speaking of him this year. The story seemed plausible to Perl
 mutter and he volunteered to endorse Cohen's check The latter on Aug. 4 made one out on the Chatham & Phoe- nix National bank of New York to the extent of $50 Perlmutter wrote his
 signature upon the back of the paper and then cashed it at the Connecticut National bank.
 The next day Cohen announced that
 he would have to return to New York
 as rehearsals for his company were to start sooner than he expected. It was not until several days later that Perl mutter found that he had been victim ized. The check was returned to the
 bank in this city with the declaration that Cohen possessed no account in the New York bank.
 At the bank Perlmutter then learned that Cohen had endeavored to play his game even further and had sent a
 draft for $1OO on Perlmutter's account. from the New York bank. But inves- i tigation showed that Perlmutter had
 closed his account and Cohen's plan
 was frustrated. He was arrested yes-
 terday for the authorities of this city but after his apprehension, it devel- oped that he was wanted in the me- tropolis for passing worthless checks.
 The Bridgeport warrant was then laid
 aside and he was arrested on New York charge When New York Justice
 is finished with him, he will be re- | turned to this city.

6, C,O,P,MACH|NE HAS PLANS FOR
 COPING VOTES
Fear of Impending Disaster Prompts Boss to Put Ev-
 cry Worker on Job.

Worried by the daily increasing probability that Hughes will carry his party candidates down to defeat throughout the country, Bridgeport's G. O. P. machine has devised plan whereby everybody who wants to be considered in the running for Jop will have to work.
 It is a systematic plan to get in touch with every possible source or d vote, It will be instituted this autumn in every voting district of the city by the members of the Republican clubs.
 The plan is called "The Block Sys- tenn. In each district two members of the District Republican clubs will be selected to look after the voters in the block in which they live. IT the number of voters in the block IS unusually large three or more will be appointed. These men will be fur nished with lists of the voters and those who are to be made voters They will also be provided with infor- nation, so far as the Republican Town committee possesses it, as to the poli- ] ticaI leaning of each voter or voter to be made.
  worker to check ID the names given him. Also to get in touch with new voters or eligible voters who move in to his "block." He is supposed to so- licit them to become members of the Republican club in the district and furnish any information or assistance he can in regard to registration for voting, the primaries naturalization, etc.
 Each block worker will file the in- formation he obtains regarding the voters in his block, with the chairman f of his district. Card index systems will be used in most of the districts in tabulating the returns of the block workers. Duplicate returns of all 12 districts will be filed in the office of | the town chairman.
 John T. King, Mayor Wilson and Town Chairman Robinson at all dis l trict gatherings are preaching the sub- l ject to the club members. The mem- bers of the Republican town commit tee have already been instructed as to how it is expected the work will be carried out.
 It is hoped by this plan to draw | to the Republican ranks a large num- Der of voters who have no set poli- tica1 faith. It is estimated that this i fall the number of eligibles to be made voters is larger than ever in the history of the city. The Republican leaders are alarmed because applica- tions to take the electors oath are not coming in faster.
