Socialist Correspondents
Are Excluded by Colby
Secretary Resents News Distor.
tion Charges Made by Repre-.
sentative of New York Call

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Colby announced to-day that Paul
Hanna, correspondent of The New York
Call. Socialist newspaper, and Lau-
rerice Todd, associated with Mr.. Hanna
in the Federated Press Bureau, would
not be permitted in the future to at
tend the daily conferences which the
Secretary holds with the newspaper
correspondents.
The announcement was made at the
regular morning conference with the
correspondents and after the Secretary
had read a letter written by Mfr. Hanna
to Fred A. Emery, head Of the infor-
nation bureau of the State Depart
ment. Mr.. Hanna charged in the letter
that Mr. Colby was using the confer
ences with the newspapermen as u
means of inspiring the press with
put wrong interpretations on the news.
Mr.. Emery was asked in the letter to
obtain from Mr.. Colby a statement in
defense Of the charges SO that it might
be published along with the original
accusations.
The Secretary Of State told the cor
respondents that his whole object in
holding conferences with them was to
aid them in obtaining accurate infor-
nation and to cooperate in furnishing
international news to the public. He
asked the correspondents whether they
thought Mr.. Hannas charges justified,
and H. C. McMillen, a correspondent of
The New York Evening Post, expressed
the opinion that they were, but he
added that he did not mean to impugn
the Secretarys integrity nor to appear
in the light of supporting the charges.
Mr.. Hanna was not present at the
conference, but was represented by Mr..
Todd, who left the meeting Immediate
ly after the Secretary announced that
he and Mr.. Hanna would not be per-
mitted to attend the gatherings in the
future.

Attell Pleads Innocence
Attell, however, through his counsel
William J. Fallon, insists he did not

least two of the witnesses before the

"Mr. Attell has done nothing dishon-

be fully told. While stories issuing
from Chicago DO not place Mr.. Attell

In reply to a question as to whether
Attell knew anything of the reported
attempt to fix the Brooklyn team for
the forthcoming world series, Fallon
said: "Attell knows nothing of this

do with it, if such movement is

F0gel Recalls TaU0 Cases
o. ATTEMPTED Bribery

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3o.-Horace
S. Fogel, former president of the
Philadelphia National League Baseball
Club, is quoted in. story published
to-day by the Inquirer, as declaring that
two attempts were made to fix players
here in recent years and that the evil
dence is in the archives of the Major
League officials and club owners.
The first attempt, according to Fo-
gels story. was made in\ 1905, when a
trio Of New York gamblers "headed by
Little Tim Sullivan" approached
Rube Waddell, star pitcher Of the Phil
adelphia Americans and offered him
$4,000 if he would not pitch in the
world series against the New York
Giants, who won the saries chiefly
through the mastery work Of Christie
pher Mathewson.
Waddell, now dead, did not appear
in any Of the games, the reason give Il
being that he had hurt his pitching
arm by stumbling over a suit case while
on 8 train. Fogel, according to the
story, says Waddell was paid $500 in
q Boston hotel. but that he was double
crossed out of the remainder.
The other attempt, Fogel is quoted
as saying. was made in 1908, when a
former New York National League
player, now a magnate in a Western
town in minor league, tried to bribe
Charlie Doom, Otto Knabe, Kitty
BransAeld, M ike Doolan and Sherwood
Magee. Offering them from ST 900 ia
$4,000 each to remain out of series OF
games played here. At the time Chi

Frank Appleby of Asbury Park and

The most interesting feature of the
Democratic primaries was the defeat Of
the organization candidate for the

forces, again won out over Hugh c.
Barrett, leader of the minority in the

is so close that it is just possible this
result may be changed.
Bacharach Has Hard Fight

Second District. This fight aroused
more interest than any other contest
in the state. 1t was d straight Srht
