Expect Break ToCone At
 Any Moment
Government Circles Believe That Every Indication Points To Downfall of Irish Peace, and Resump-- ton of Hostilities.

London, Nov. so-CBy The A. P.) Government circles today expressed belief that the Irish conference would break down almost imme- d3ately as a result of the difficulties which have arisen and that the re- sumption of armed hostilitis could not be postponed.
 The alternative settlement plan submitted by the government to the Sim Fein representatives last evening included the necessity for a definite undertaking by the Sim F'ein to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown.
 The Sim Fein has many objections to the governments new plan, but even if it agreed to discuss this plan it will not give its assent to the oath of allegiance proviso, it is stated.
 Thus it appears according to gov ernment officials, that the breach in the negotiations, if it comes, as is now feared, will take place over the allegiance issue.
 There has been hope of pro1onging the truce and adjourning the negotia- tion for an additional period of two months, but this hope has now re- ceded.

Denying entirely any knowledge Of a money transaction, by which Frank $. Cohen, S5 Park place, interested in the furniture business and other local enterprises, was claimed to have received, for $1O,000 alcohol with drawal permits. Edward B. DooIan of the Fairfield County Liquor Enforce Elent squad, stated that a mysterious yarn, finding it's way even in public print, including alleged statements of his, was entirely without foundation, as far as he or any of the present enforcem ment crew had any knowledge
 Joe Mulvihil, Danbury, a sporting man who used to spend much of his time in Bridgeport, who recently had been residing in New Haven. and who in less exciting days ran the "all you can drink for @ nickel' lem onade tub with the Greatest Show On Earth, is said to have been the go-between in the alleged transa action
 Doolan denied this morning that he had made statement to the effect that part Of the money had been paid
 back to Cohen. ''This is a case that apparently started before I was in office, and I know nothing about it.
 1 am kept constantly busy with new
 business, and I don't understand how a man who interviewed me yesterday
 got the 'information' he claims to
 have gotten. The only person I be- lieve who could throw any light on the matter is Prohibition Director
 Harry B. Mackenzie"
 r MulvihllFs story is that Cohen thought he was buying protection"
 The fixing was supposed to have been done in New York city, with a Phila- delphia man of wealth furnishing the
 money. Cohen now claims to have
 no knowledge of the affair, and states | that he doesn't even know Prohibit on Agent F'owelr, also meRtiond as being acquainted with the case.
 Doolan this morning further stated | that he didn't even know 'Mulvihill | by sight. and when the man was de- scrfbed to him stated that he had | pictured him entirely different. The i alleged deal was a frame-up on Co., hen, but all the prohibition enforce ment agents deny any knowledge of any aid the agents have been to Co., hen, in the way of getting a refund of his money from the Icon men,

Bill Burton Slated To Go As Legal Advisor of the Charities Department One of Ex-Mayor Will sons Press Agents; Place Wanted By Many Young Democratic Lawyers.

The swing of the political pendu- lun draws closer and closer to At torney w W.llam F.

 It is a S2,000 a year job and, while not as financially attractive as other appointive offices. Is greatly desired by some of the younger Democratic members of the legal fraternity, main 1y because of the jobs close connec- tions and intimate touch with the ad- ministrative powers.
 Attorney Burton's removal is freely pred .cted, due largely to his Wilson senttm ents and to his activities Tn the last campaign. He was one of ex- Mayor Wilson's publicity men, and a close friend of the former executive. and was decidedly pro-Republican in his views.

After remaining silent since his return from London, answering all questions with Q smile, and a shrug of the shoulders.
 The exact nature of Herr Stinnes Journey to London was a matter of side of Germany.
 "The reconstruction of Russia with outside assistance was emphattcally suggested" said Herr tSinnes. Euro pean recovery depends to a large ex- tent upon Russia Germany does not possess any raw materials, but Eng land and America have them in album dance. The Allies therefore must manufacture one-half of European wares. them to be completed in Ger man factories. This would help Ger many pay her indemnity.
 German railways are in bad con dition. They cannot bear the brunt of such heavy traffic as would be put upon them if Russia were opened up. They must be reorganized and taken over from the government into prt- vate hands. It is of prime importance that haste be made in extending the needed assistance
 At the same time that Herr Stinnes was conferring with British officials 1 in London the government was con- sidering the appointment of a com mission of industrialists and bankers Germany in England and the United States.

 A small bottle of gin, and another vial of whiskey, were found concealed in a chimney of the Weiss establish ment. They were clean, no dust be- ing in evidence, and Weiss was ar rested forthwith. He denied selling Iiouor or any knowledge of how the liquid happened to be concealed in his own chimney. At this point Hughes, who has lived in one neighborhood in Waterbury for 3 years, came forth, and declared that he hid the liquor work at the place.
 He further coiored his story by claiming to have a habit of hiding booze wherever he works, and the of his caches, like Bergdon was going to do with the pot of gold. However, the agents are skeptical, for Hughes, who claims to be able to buy liquor so easily and so cheaply' does not know the name of the man, around the corner from where he has lived for IS years, and who is supposed to be the source of supply.
 The District Attorneys office is in terested in the case, and Hughes may have a long, hard, time explaining
