HUN VIOLINIST
Louisville Citizens Force Fritz
KrieSIer to Cancel Recital
Engagement.
Rv Associated Press:

BY Associated Press:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 20
Fritz Kriesler. violinist, and one
time Austrian army officer, officially
advised of widespread hostility to his
proposed appearance here Thursday
night in recital, cancelled his en-
gagement on advice of Mayor George
W. Smith, and is speeding toward
Lawrence, Mass. his next scheduled
stop.
The attitude of Louisville citizens,
as indicated in resolutions of critic
ism passed by several organizations,
was communicated to c. J. Foley,
Kriesler's manager. by the mayor
who followed il with a written com
munication requesting Foley to in
definitely postpone the concert.
Mayor Sends Letter.
The mayors letter said he had
considered the unusual circum-
stances" and had concluded that a
postponement would be the part Of
wisdom" although admitting Kriesl-
er's right TO give a performance.
After a brief interval Foley wrote
a reply acceding to the mayors
wishes. Kriesler himself did not put
in appearance.
The first move against Kriesler's $
appearance WAS made several days
ago when Jefferson post, American
legion. adopted resolutions condemn
ing it. A number OF other Organiza-
tions followed its lead and under
their influence, matter advertising
the Kriesler concert was removed
from store windows and other pub
lie places.
Contract Obligations
The Kriesler organization, how
ever. announced that contractual OBJ
legations were such that only Kriesl-
er or his authorized agent could can
eel the engagement. Moreover,
Kriesler's agent was reported as hav-
ing said the Louisville recital was
regarded in thc nature Of testing out
sentiment and might be taken as an
index to the attitude Of cities on his
itinerary.
The whole matter. however, was
brought 10 a sharp issue when Foley
sought a conference with Mayor
Smith Thursday. Meanwhile ticket
cancellations had reduced Kriesler's s
prospective audience, according TO a
box office statement, from initial
large proportions to about 200.

dts, would seriously affect the re-
lations between the United states

arrested Tuesday on charges in con-
nection with his abduction and ran
som in the sum OF s15O,O0O in gold.
Official reports that Jenkins had

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 21.-The
republican contest for the nomina-
lion for governor has already de-
veloped into a race to ascertain who
is TO have the honor of eliminating
James p. Goodrich and the Good
rich policies of the last two years
from the party program.
Edgar Bush OF Salem started first
in the race and in the riding OF the
anu-Goodrich hobby gathered such
lead that Warren T. McCray
OF Kentland has chosen the same
mount and is running a close sec
>9nd.
y Bush declares that he is contem-
plating copyrighting all his speeches
and platform declarations to pre-
vent them from being appropriated
by other candidates who are now
awakening 10 tho vital necessity Of
being anti Goodrich or forgotten.
Hays Takes Hand.
II has developed in the last week
that the anti-Goodrich movement in
the state has become so strong as
fo BRING about its recognition by no
less an astute politician than Will
~. Hays. national republican chair
man. who il Is asserted, openly ad-
rised his workers in indianapolis TO
support McCray at about the same
time that McCray broke with Good
rich over the present tax law.
This action on the part OF Hays Is
arlously interpreted by republican
politicians. Among some there is a
disposition TO credit Hays with
breaking from Goodrich. This ex-
PLANTATION. however. is not generally
favored and there are indications
that il is not correct.
Friends Of Mr Bush assert with
out qualification that the activities
of Mr. Hays and his organization in
behalf or Warren r. McCray are the
results OF an agreement between
Goodrich and McCray by which
Goodrich and his associates seek to
keep alive the advantages they have
enjoyed throughout the present ad-
ministration Among these are
said TO be the present arrangements
for selling coal to the state. the uni
vcrsal use OF cement in highway
construction and the carefully ar
ranged control of penal institutions
through which a regular business is
made of obtaining paroles and par
dons for machine workers.

Within five days the attorney gen
eral will ask for a temporary in

Industrial commission law, requiring
80 days notice of a strike. was the
basis of the request of the attorney
general.
Strike Reasons.
The strike was called because Of
alleged discrimination by the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company against
union miners who sought 70 return
to work following the action OF min
ers officials in Indianapolis IN call
ing off the nationwide strike. Seven
o'clock this morning was the time
set for the strike and orders to this
effect were mailed today, according
TO Pres't johnson, whose headquar-
ters are at Pueblo. The strike order
directed that all men employed III
mines not having union contracts
should walk out.
Operators asserted Thursday that
the miners would not obey the
strike order of their officials. Re
ports from the southern fields IN
dicated that there apparently was
no preparation on the part of the
union leaders for a strike.
