Hartford, Conn, Aug. 3.-It was re- ported from Boston today that Federal Prohibition Enforcement Director for New England William J. Mccarthy -> this city had refused the position of assistant revenu" deputy collector rather than sat Isfy certain political interests and former liquor dealers of New England who have attempted. through Washington, it is said, to have him removed from the office he now holds. The director of the dry forces in this section returned from Washington today.
 New England is credited with being the cleanest district in the country, ac cOrding to Chief Kramer at Washington" Mccarthy said, ''anG personally l intend to keep it so anS with the allowance of fifty more operators next week I shall be In a position to increase my work here, and l assure you that. in spite of the great opposition We are now receiving, this department will cover every nook and corner of New England.
 T am back here, and here to stay. All the rurnors about my resigning have no foundation whatever. l am not going to resign because certain political interests are constantly engaged in spreading ru- n1ors as to my being detained in sanato- siums and insane hospitals and other ru- rors of a malicious nature. John r. Tra- nler, prohibition enforcement chief at Washington, recently suggested that I take the position of assistant deputy col lector. This I refused. not intending to Eatisfy certain politicians and former liquor men of New England. The appoint nent would have meant considerably more money and advancement"
 Mir. Mccarthy declared that at the re- luest of Washington officials of his de- partment he made a visit to New Jersey last week. where he directed arrests and the seizure of more than s40,000 worth of liquor. In New Jersey, he declared.

DISPATCHES FOREsHADOW IMMINENT FALL OF WARSAW

Washington, Aug. 3.-With the des- perate plight of Poland emphasized in despatches foreshadowing the imminent fall of Warsaw and telling of the procla- nation in Polish districts of a soviet gov ernment, the position of the United States toward the swift developments of events in Europe today engaged the serious con- sideration of officials of the government
 Despite reiterated appeals to the United States government by Poland through it's minister, Prince Lubormirski, for exten- sion of moral, if not material, aid there mas been as yet no disposition shown among officials to reflect a departure of the United States of the neutral position assumed at the beginning of hostilities between Poland and Russia.
 Officials have held that inasmuch as the present conflict originated from causes to which the United States was not a party, this country should continue its present position. Whether the United States might be moved to depart from this position of aloofness in the event of anything approaching a crisis in the re- lations of Russia towards Europe officials refrained today from indicating.
 The state department was still without definite reports regarding developments in the armistice negotiations between the Polish emissaries and soviet leaders
 The latest information as to military operations received by the department in- dicated that Bialystok, northeast of War saw, had been lost by the Polish forces, The Red army in it's advance was report ed to have passed Bransk southwest of Bialystok.
 The departments despatches also indi- cated that the Polish lines had been stiff fened. Budienny, the bolshevik leader who forced the Polish troops out of Kiev. was reported to be encountering a strong resistance in his advance between Brody and Lemberg in eastern Galicia. The department advices contained an uncon- firmed report that two bolshevik cavalry divisions had been concentrated in the vicinity of Szczucin, considerably to the south of Warsaw. In the direction of Lomza, on the Narew river, due west of Bialystok, the bolshevik were said to have made some progress.

HARDING HAS SUPPORT OF
 LABOR LEADER T, V, O'CONNOR

Marion. Ohio. Aug. 3.-Senator Hard ing held aconference today with T. V. O'Connor of Buffalo, president of the In ternational Longshoremens Associa ton, a which the labor situation was discuss ed generally and the candidate was as sured of the support of the labor lead CT. Mir. O'Connor later gave out a statement covering his views.
 Previous to his conference with MT. O'Connor, Senator Harding had conferred a length with Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, chairman of the Republican Speakers Bureau, on matters pertaining to the speaking campaign. To what ex- tent, if at all the front porch campaign plan will be deViated from is understood to have been discussed.
 Senator New asserted that no one in authority had said there will be no de- viation from the plan and then proceeded to discuss the handicaps of a front porch campaign now as compared with the Harrison campaign in 1888 and the two Mckinley campaigns in 1896 and 1900. Not only are railroad rates higher, but it is impossible for railroads to furnish equipment to conduct excursions to the candidates home as in past years, he said.
 A statement iss.ed by MT. o'Connor after the confercene said in part:
 T have heard a good deal of vari- ous leaders that are going to deliver the labor vote this year, but I want to say that nobody will deliver it. Labor is thinking as never before ,and is go- ing to vote to suit itself. In 1916 1 was aAEaX-f from home and lost my vote but if I had been there I would have voted for Wilson. But the democratic party has since then lost it's claim for confi- dence of the country. We must restore popular confidence in our government in order to put an end to the unrest that exists. The fact is that the world is in a bad scrape, and if the United States does not keep it's feet on the ground the world can't.
 T deal with all the nationalities ex- cept Asiatics, in our organization. and I know that there is a general desire to get away from entanglements with European concerns. There is a good deal of ap- prehension among the men. least condi- tions which they observe in Europe may reach here. They are determined to avoid anything of that kind if they can.
 It seems very plain to me that labor must support the republican party this year"

BELIEVE THEY HAVE MAN
 WHO GOT COUGHLIN RANSOM

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.-Postal in Bpectors who admitted today they ar rested a man at Egg Iarbor, \. J., yes .erday in connection with the kidnaC ping Of the thirteen months old child of Mr and Mrs. George H. Coughlin, of Norristown. Pa, on June 2, expressed the opinion that had the right man. All efforts to learn the identity of the prisoners, who is said to be a foreign CT. or where he is being held, have proved futile, the government agents positively declining to furnish any further information regarding the case. N,ither the CoughIin family nor the Norristown authorities have been ad- Fised of the arrest and they declared hey knew nothing of it except what Ehey had read in the newspapers.
 Chief Postal Inspector George Leon ard. of the Philadelphia district said he believed the arrest would eventually lead to the recovery of the missing child.
 The man under detention is declared to be the one who wrote a half dozen letters to the parents of the child, sign ing them The Crank and demanding s13,000 be left under a deserted trolley station at Swedeland, near Norristown, as a ransom for the return of the child Ccughlin followed the instructions by leaving the money at the designated place at midnight June fl. believing the writer to have been the kidnapper. IS he accurately described the room rom which the child was taken. The money disappeared and nothing further Eas heard from The Crank until last week when the family received a letter making further demands.
 Chief Inspector Leonard is quoted as saying that he was more interested in Ire recovery of the child than in the immediate punishment of the kidnap- pers. It is said the postal authorities are holding the man on charges of vii plating the postal laws, and that if sufficient evidence is developed to con meet him with the actual kidnapping he will Le turned over 10 the Montgomery County oolice to answer the charge kidnapping Leonard said inspectors gre now running out clues leading to the whereabouts of the, child. One in spector was sent to Pittsburgh.

In a Desperate Effort to Cap- ture Warsaw Before the Conclusion of the Armistice Conference.

Warsaw, Aug. 3.+Brest-Litovsk, the last great fortress guarding Warsaw from the east, has apparently fallen be- fore a, tremendous assault by the Russian bolsheviki. North of that place soviet forces have smashed their way forward in their drive westward to a point only sixty miles east of this city
 Over front of 120 miles Polish armies are being pounded to pieces before the rush of bolsheVik hordes, which are being hurled into the battle in a desperate at tempt to capture Warsaw before the con- clusion of the armistice conferences at hobryn Endorsements are everywhere being hurried to the front by thea Rus slans to complete the defeat of the Poles before the hostilities are halted.
 An official statement issued late last night showed the soviet armies had reach ed line running from Kossaki to Ciech- anowlcz, which is only sixty miles from thls city, with which it is connected by an excellent automobile highway.
 Great masses of bolsheviki have been flung against the Polish breastworks de- lending the part of Bhest-Litovsk east of the River Bug. Fugitives who arrived heer last night from that city reported the soviet forces were in control of the eastern half of the town It is officially ~>NN--@-NNSNe nika, northwest of Brest-Litovsk
 Far to the southeast near Brody, the bolsheyiki have rushed achievements into the line, and it is expected terrific attack will be launched there for the pur- pose of capturing Lemberg before an armistice is declared.
 On the northern sector soviet troops have advanced and have reached the re- zion of Ostrolenka, which is but sixty-six miles from Warsaw. Cavalry regiments form the extreme tip of the right wing of the advancing bolshevik line, and here, too, fresh forces are being brought up. Apparently it is planned to carry the drive much nearer this city before We'd nesday, the earliest date set by the soviet plenlpotentiaries for reaching a decision . f0 ioa 1x,i+I, DoI
