Nothing Coul Induce Him TO Offer

Washington, May When to-
day shown a dispatch to the effect
that the New York World had printed
a story that he might be persuaded to
run again for the senate, United
States Senator John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi said Nothing could
induce me ever again to run for office
or to serve"
Tremendous pressure has been
brought upon Senator Williams to re-
cant his decision on the ground
that the state an the nation need in
the senate a man of his transcendar-
ship. But to these appeals Senator
Williams is unheeding, having made
up his mind to retire at the end of his
term in 1928.

CHAUTAUQUA PROMISES.
 TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONE
First Event of This Kind to Be Held in City, Begins
 Next Wednesday.

"All indications are that the forth coming Chautauqua, which is to be held under the auspices of local peo- pie one week beginning next We'd nesday, is to be a success declares A. Buol, president of the Chamber of and one of the guarantors of the Commerce and one of the guarantors of the Swartbmore event which is to appear here.
 The advance sale of season tickets is not quite as heavy as was expected, but there will probably be big de- mand when people realize the import ance of the ChautauqVa and the qual- ity of the entertainment that has been promised. The guarantors have agreed, in order to get the Chautau- qua here, to sell 700 tickes, all of which must be sold before the doors of the tent are open as tickets for the particular performance under way will be handled at the doors and by the Chautauqua treasurer. The com plete returns for the tickets must be made next Tuesday evening, as on Wedneday the program opens. Those who plan to attend are urged to get into touch with the Chamber of Commerce office, or any one of the ticket committee at once. Of course the season tickets are cheaper, in pro- portion. than single entrances as they cover the admission to every session during the entire week.
 The Chautauqua is a new exper- fence to New Britain but, in the opinion of nearly hundred business men the city would be the wiser, the better entertained and the happier
