Klett, whose car was stolen Saturday night and recovered yesterday in New Haven, was stopped last night in Hartford by a motorcycle officer who demanded that the senator make known his identity before being allowed to pass.

Italy Needs HcID.

London, Sept 23.--Italy which was given free hand to handle the prob lem arising out of the seizing of Plume by Captain Gabrielle q dAnnunZiO as a domestic affair, is said in reports cur rent here, to have appealed to the all lied powers to take the matter off her . hands and send troops to Plume to eXpel the insurgent troops from the city. It, is claimed Italy has stipulated if such a force is sent to the Adrlatic city, it must not include Italian units.
 It is improbable according to re- port, that American troops will par ticipate in such an operation if it is .ord there being no soldiers avail- able for such purpose American marine contingents now in the Adri- attic have not taken part in any ac- tivities there and it Is said they will not be called upon to do so unless positive instructions come from Wash ington or the peace conference in Paris.
 Threaten to Fire.
 Reports from Plume seem to be conflicting. One states that Gen. Badoglio, deputy chief of staff. who was was sent from Rome to deal with the situation, has established a cor don about the city, while the Jugo- SlaV delegation m Paris asserts d An nunzio's forces have extended their zone of occupation, having advanced in Jugo- -Slavia seven miles on Sunday. It appears, however, the reported blockade of the city is not particularly effective, it being reported that t tr1inload of supplies has reached Plume. Another dispatch says four more companies of Italian soldiers joined d'Annunzio on Saturday and Sunday. Dispatches from Trieste de- clare the commander of the French ships in the harbor has notified Cap tain d'Annunzio that if the stores forming the base of the Franco Serbian troops at Plume are molested he will order his ships to open fire on a the city.
