CANNOT BRING OLD
 FRIGATE ID STATE Little Chance Of Farragut'S Flag
 ship Coming to Hartford EXPENSE IS TOO GREAT
Admiral Knapp Tells Conn. Chamber of Commerce Committee It Would Cost About 325,OOO, Which Govt Would Hardly Sanction.

Hartford May 19.-Great likelihood that it would not be possible to have Admiral Farragut's flagship Hart ford" brought to Connecticut waters was expressed in the report of Rear Admiral Harry s. Knapp made at the meeting this afternoon of the com mittee appointed by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce to investigate the matter.
 Admiral Knapp stated the reasons at some length, chief among these be- ing the cost to the government, which he did not believe the navy depart ment would sanction.
 Would Cost $25,OOO.
 The admiral said it would cost $o5,- 900 to dredge the Hartford out of the mud where she now lies In con- clusion he said:
 At the present time there ap- pears to me to be a small chance that the Hartford can be brought to Connecticut.
