GOVERNOR CALLS ON CITIZENS TO RENEW
 THEIR ALLEGIANCE
Designates June 14, Flag Day, as a Day for New
 Patriotism.

Hartford, May 26.-Ca1ling upon all citizens of Connecticut, wheresoever born, to renew their allegiance and loyalty to this country, Governor Ho1- comb yesterday issued a proclamation designating June IA Flag Day.. The proclamation is as follows:
 At a time when the life of the ma ton flowed smoothly, and men were apt to forget that liberty and political equality had been purchased only at a high price of blood and suffering, and maintained only by the ,everlast- ing vigilance of men who held them dear the Legislature set. apart 8 day for the consideration of the principles out of which the nation sprang and upon which rests it's greatness.
 In the present cataclysm in human affairs, when the old order changeth and the old standards are shaking upon their pedesta1s, there is less need of reverent memories and calm delib- 'eration, but there is an infinitely greater need of a burning faith in the eternal soundness of those ideals, and of a high resolve that they shall be maintained at any cost.
 On the 14th day of June, then, which the Legislature has designated as
 Flag Day
 I call upon all citizens of the state, wheresoever they may have been born and whatsoever be their condition, to renew their allegiance to this their country, and to cOnsecfate to the maintenance of the things Tor which it stands all that they possess of wealth and strength, of faith and courage.

 MISSING FROM HOME

Search for Harry Hotchl1iss, aged 31, of Fairfield, employed in the Rem ington-U M C. Go. of this city, has been instituted by his relatives and friends through the local police. Fear that he has met with foul play is sintf- mated as it is said that he carries large sums of money upon his person.
 As described to the police today Hotchkiss is five feet, seven inches In height, weighs about 126 pounds, and because of deforrnfty of his left leg, he lirnps perceptibly. He has dark brown hair.
