BUTTERwoRTH DOES NOT
 INTEND TO REsIGN Sou

Frank s. Butterworth of New Haven denies that his action in leaving thc state board of control meeting Tuesday In hulf was forerunner of his resiR- nation as state treasurer of the Alneri- can Legion. Asked if he intended to re- slgn' he replied: Not under the pres ent situation"
 MT. Butterworth declined to say what he meant by the present situation" but It wSs pointed out in local legion circles that he has stirred up a hornets nesr ! among legionnaries of the state by re- i tusing to pay any part of the expenses or Connecticut delegates and alternates 10 the American Legion national conven- ton at Kansas City. notwithstanding the adoption of a resolution at the state convention authorizing such action. No, al of the delegates wanted their ex. penses paid, but there were a few who did.
 The delegates were: Commander ciar. ence w. Seymour, Hartford: Past Con- mander John T. Pickett. ex-Adiutanr Thomas J. Bannigan, Hartford. Samuel P. Baker, Unionville; B. H. Shenberg 1 New Haven; Vincent King. Danbury ! Bernard Hastings. WiIlimantic; E. G. l Blood. Norwich; Joseph ". SterigeI Terryville; R. H. Hitchcock, East
 Hampton; Dr. James A. Gettings. New I Haven, and P. .. Fox, Derby. The al.
 ternates were Robert c. Vance, New l Britain; MT. Brotherton, Norwalk 1 Harry Turner. East Haven; T. F. Mur phy, Waterbury; Clarence I. Bradley. Branford MT. Co;veH, First dfstric | Charles Williams. Fourth district M
 J. Tryon. Fifth district; W. J. Tietro Seventh district. The average expense. of those who made the trip approached SITS.
 Further resentment has been aroused in the ranks, it Is said, by reason o MT. Butterworth's action in asking thu
 board of control to appropriate s3.6oi for expenses of disbursing the s2, ,500,0 ,00i state fund after representative members of the legion went on record before thu legislature as absolutely opposed 10 tn expenditure of any state money foa such expenses.
 It was pointed out that Mr. Butter worth employs several young women il the New Haven office from which tn fund is disbursed. It was said that crit cisn. has broken out to the effect tha
 these jobs, paying about Se.O0o yea all told, should be turned over to ex
 service men who are out of employmen and in need of money.
