LAFOLLET7E LZKENXNC NEW - TREATY 70 OLD LEAGUE, H
 70 FIGHT Y, HE DECLARES
LAWYER BRADY MAY
 BECOME CANDIDATE
Reported as Favored by Some for Prosecutors
 Job in This City

That q concerted effort will be made to bring about the election of Lawyer George Brady a practising attorney at Hartford, as prosecutor to succeed AL bert A. Greenberg, is indicated by re- ports heard about City Hall and by statements of Mayor O. F. Curtis,
 For some unannounced reason, the mayor has refused to state whether or not Prosecutor Greenberg has re- signed his office and in some circles he has been accused of holding up an nouncement for political purposes. The contention is that Mr. Brady, be- ing a practitioner in Hartford will meet some opposition on that account and the mayor is reported to be safe guarding the man who is supposed to be his candidate against organized op- position.
 Mayor Curtis admitted that he had knowledge of Mr. Brady's candidacy, but said that he did not wish to Con- ment upon the matter. When the question of Mr. Brady's practice being in another city, was raised, the mayor was quick to come to the attorney $ defense. He pointed out that MT. Brady is a resident, his father was a resident and a taxpayer and that the attorneys name is on the local G. o. P. voting list.
 A warm friendship between the young lawyer and Mayor Curtis is re ported as existing. The Hartford at torney acted with Lawyer Louis Spcrry in presenting the citys side

Hartford Hotel Proprie- tors Found Guilty By Judge William Maltbie In Superior Court
States Attorney Acorn Argues That Prominent as They Are, They Should Suffer Same Penalty as Others.
Special to The Herald)


 Hartford, Dec. 13.-John c. and Timothy Long, owners of the Long Hotel at Hartford, were sentenced to 30 days in jail on each of two counts of liquor law violation, by Judge Will liam Nj. Maltbie in superior court this morning.
 Two Charges Brought The Long brothers were charged on october s, 1921 with selling quan- tity of liquor to John Doe. and on Oc- tober 2 with having between s35,000 and s40,000 worth of liquor on hand with intent to sell. Through Lawyer J. c. Buckley and Henry c. Hunt, pleas of guilty were entered.
 States Attorney Hugh Alcorn made a statement to the court in which he charged the accused with wholesale liquor trafficliing. He told Judge Malt bic that the state was in possession of sufficient evidence to prove five separ- ate and distinct counts of liquor law violation, but in consideration of guilty plea but two would be prose- cuted.
 Alcorn Advises Penalty
 MT. Alcorn charged that the Longs were to be found many hours a day in the dark recesses of their cellar accepting every half dollar that illicit liquor dealing would bring them. He spoke in disparging terms of the ap- parent practice of bringing in viola ters of the liquor law who happen to be foreigners and sending them to jail while such people as the Longs are allowed to go on or are freed with the payment of fines, In closing his argu- ment he expressed a hope that the court would send both to Jail | The attorneys for the accused rest ed their cases on the past good records of the Longs, neither of which it was brought out, had ever been ar rested before. Their presence in court was a great humiliation, the lawyers stat ted, and the imposition of a sub- stantial fine would meet the ends of justice, Lawyer Hunt argued. Personal Property. is Claim It was argued that the liquor on hand represented personal property, their residence being at the hotel. The stuff, it is claimed, was on hand since before prohibition.

COMMITTEE ASKS
 TO SEE HARDING

 syrians and Armenians

Steps have been taken by local committee, representing the Assyrian and Armenian people of the United States, to interview President Harding with plea to postpone deportation of upwards of 1900 Armenians and Assyrians now on the high seas or held in detention camps, because the quota of immigrants from the ports from which these people sail has been exceeded.
 Former Mayor George A. Quigley, of New Britain, Rev. Simon Woman, also of this city, and Pera Benjamin, of Hartford, but formerly of New Britain, have been selected as tho committee and Senator Frank F. Brandegee is endeavoring to arrange to have an interview with the presi- dent for this committee.
 Unlike other people from different countries the Assyrians and Armen- ians have no place to go, but to Am erica This is the land of hope for them. If they are deported they sirn- ply go back to be murdered by the Turks and Persans.
 Heart t-breaking stories are told 1y local people of experiences in the countries from which these people come, One woman says her husband and oldest daughter were murdered there and her only son is on a boat bound for this country and in danger of being deported. Another man says his mother and Ii other women, be- cause they were too old to escape the country were taken out by Kurds md literally hacked to pieces. One young woman now residing in New Britain. was confined to II different Turkish harems within a period of four months.
 It is expected to have the inter- view with the president either Thurs day or Friday Of this week. The committee has been selected from New Britain because of the fact that this city has more Assyrian and Ar menian people residing here than any other city in the United States, ex- cept Chicago
