Wants Special Accountants Engaged as Step Toward Stabilizing Public Confi- dence-Will Seek Ruling From Atty. Gen. HeaIy.

Waterbury, Aug. IS. - Governor Charles A. Templeton is desirous that an independent audit be made Of state books and affairs according to q let ter sent by him to Attorney Gen. Frank Healy. undar date of yesterday. The letter asks for a ruling as to the best manner in which an audit may be made by firm of auditors Of rec ognized standing. The governor states in the letter that he does not intend to question the work done by public auditors appointed by the general as. sembly but that special audit would tend to stabilize public confidence.
 The governors letter to the attor- ney general read as follows:
 Asks Immediate Audit
 Tn view of the report of State Treasurer Gilpatrics reported defal- cations in Putnam and the attendant disclosures in my opinion it Is desir- able to have an audit of the state treasurer's office made at once by a firm of accountants of recognized standing. l do not intend to question the work done by our public auditors appointed by the general assembly but we should not expect too much from public auditors to whom the law allows for their service but sl0 a day, and as I understand provides nothing for assistance. The business of the treasurer's office runs into many milIiopr a yaor. ba t,,. a,+lz. ity to deposit these funds where he pleases It seems to me that 1t would tend to serve the public inter- est and stabilize public confidence to have this audit made now by a firm of accountants who were not connect ed in any way with public office or public officials and whose impartiality and competency would nol be utresG' toned. This, in my opinion would be the first thing business concern or large business would do under slnni- lar circumstances.
 Wants Opinion At Once Please give me, at your earliest | your opinion as to whether as governor I have author ty to cause such an audit of the reasurer's office to be made. IfI lave not such authority, whether the board of control has authority to make an appropriation for such audit ither under my direction, the boards Erection, or the comptroller's direc- ion. If in your opinion none of hese methods can be pursued under he law of the state, please inform ne if there is any way under our aw by which an independent audit nay be made of the treasurer's office y accountants unconnected with the tate or any of its officials
 T am satisfied, attorney general, hat the public confidence in the tate's business will be promoted by uch an audit, and that the public velfare demand it, and I very much ope that you can advise me as to hammer In which this can be legally one. | Every truly yours, t

are to play in the Ohio campaign. No
one knows how much appreciation
Ohio will show for the honor Of hold
ing the Republican convention. No
one knows how much the Republi-
cans can count on the memory of
Warren G. Harding. Some Of the dis
closures at Washington have bit
Ohio pretty hard. There may be
disposition to clean house OF some
Republicans. and IL so President
Coolidge will suffer. Ralston may be
the Democratic candidate. The ku
klux Khan may hold the balance of
power in the election. The state Is

Jennie said good-by and had to re-

Before Christmas Jennie packed all
the clothes and trinkets she found in
the blue room and dispatched them to
