Press Likely to Sue Papers
That Printed Letter,
President Says.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CONCORD, n. H. April 2o.-one
or more copies of the May issue of
the Atlantic Monthly, containing the
letter of Gov Smith Of New York
on politics and religion, were stolen
by an employe from the plant of the
Rumford Press here last Friday. VIII
liam S. Rossiter, president of the con-
cern, said today. The copies, he add
ed, were delivered to some one who
purported to be the representative of
an out-of-town newspaper. The en-
ploye has been discharged.
The statement gave the outcome
of an investigation undertaken by the
Rumford Press, which prints the At
lantic Monthly, when advance proofs
of the Smith article were published
prematurely in several newspapers.
In all probability the leak occurred
in this manner, and it seems prob
able that the Atlantic viii take legal
action against newspapers that have
benefited by this Illicit proceeding"
