BULKLEY SoUTHWORTHGRIFFIN Especial Correspondence to The Plnam Patriot)

< Washington. D. C., Oct. 29-NC one needs stay awake nights waiting Tor further details touching the Put.
 nam bank failure to issue from Wash. 1 iHRton. The clear prospect is that
 what further information does come out will see the light in Connecticut either in the course of the Gilpatric | trial, or from statements from the | bank receiver.
 Treasury department officials here are somewhat hazy in discussing the
 matter. But they give the belief that i they don't intend to issue any detailed statement, covering the final verified assets and liabilities, as for long weeks they had been expected to. I Facts Not Public Property One official this week said that such q statement was not proper public property and compared it lH a gen eral way, Co Che income tax lists now being published in the midst of objec- tons. Another treasury oIIieial said that 70 give such statement which would include the estimated worth of ali notes held by the bank. would pro- a1ce tHa effect 0f making folks who gave out dubious notes careful not to pay more oH them than detailed statement said was expected to be re- covered on them.
 Statement from the receiver of the bank may be expected as the weeks and months go on. telling. in a gradual way, how much depositors can recover on the dollar.
 Candidstes' Campaign Expenses
 Congressman Freeman, up to about the middle of last week, had listed campaign expenditures of only S50. This S50 was given Co the New Lon don Republican city committee. Ap- parentlY Mir. Freeman is not getting excited over anything.
 Other facts brought out by the fling of campaign statements here by the candidates were that Congressman O. Sullivan paid out S250 for dinners to convention delegates at the Hotel FL ton, Waterbury. and that Congress- man Tilson received outside aid in the shape of a cheek for $500 from the Ma tional Republican congressional com mittee
 Congressman Merritt has the larg- est expense bill. Sl .45j. It is not item ized. MT. Tilson has spent S500. but he does not give any details.
 Probably the fact that Tilson is toiling as head of the eastern speak CTS bureau Of the national committed, and cannot find time to devote to his home fences. Is one reason for the boost he got from the congressional committee
 The hottest fight in the state re- mains in the Fifth Congressional dis tliet. where former Congressman Glynn is trying to oust O.Sullivan. Glynn lists no expenses up to week ago.
