ROB ROY DIES AT
 | THE REED HOSPITAL
Collie Dog, Constant Com. pani0n of Coolidge, Has
 Ulcers of Stomach

Washington. Sept. "A R - Rob Roy. President Coolidge's collie companion. is dead.
 The handsome white dog which came to MT. Coolidge shortly after he became chief executive and who was constantly with him at work and at play, died at Walter Reed General Army hospital of ulcers of the stomach.
 Rob Roy developed his first upon returning to Washington from Wisconsin. At the summer White House he had been i'll splendid health. A few days ago. however. he began ailing and President Coolidge sent him to the hospital.
 Rob Roy occupied an exceptional position among the numerous pets at the White House. Of the six dogs which were kept at the executive mansion Rob Roy was the only one which President Coolidge allowed to wander freely in and out of his office during working hours.
 Intensely jealous of his master the dog often had to be restrained by his master from barking or snapping at visitors who seemed to obtain too much attention from the chief executive.
 Prudence Prim, a dog. almost identical in appearance 10 Rob Roy and Mrs. Coolidge's favorite. died last year at the summer White House in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

BANDIT ATTACK IS
 AGAINST MORROW
U. s. Ambassador Has Thrilling Experience in
 Mexican Battle

Mexico City. Sept. c4 M-El Uni versal today expressed the belief that an attack staged by 25 bandits on the village Of Huitzilac, midway be- tween Mexico City and Cuernavaca, was directed against Dwight w. Morrow, American ambassador.
 Mir. Morrow. who was spending the weekend at his new residence in Cuernavaca. arrived in Buitzilac after the bandits had been driven off and proceeded to Mexico City. arriving there safely.
 The newspaper asserted that some one in Cuernavaca had warned the brigands by telephone of MT. Mor- rows departure by automobile and the coup failed because the outlaws failed to take Huitzilac before he ar- rived.
 The bandits in marching toward Huitzilac did not attempt to hold up any passing automobiles apparently being bent on seizing the town. The men were disguised in the uniform of federal soldiers and were thought to have intended to take the village garrison by surprise. The soldiers, however, opened fire upon the ban dits when they failed to recognize them and the outlaws fled to the mountains after brisk encounter.

kOPPELMAN SEEKING
 HELP IN THIS CITY
Reported Angling for Support at Democratic
 Convention

New Britain's 17 delegates to the democratic congressional conven- tion although regarded as a unit for Jesse Moore of Pennington, to op- pose Congressman F.. Hart Tenn, re- publican. in the first district, was re- ported today to have developed Q sentiment for Herman K. koppel- man of Hartford and it IS forecast that Moore must win on an early ballot to hold this city's votes.
 The convention will be held at 64 Pearl street, Hartford, tomorrow morning at 1O:3O o'clock. Joseph M. Halloran. former mayor and ardent supporter of Moore's candidacy. is chairman of the delegation. John +. Callahan. former park commission CT. and Edward o. kilbourne, at one time a member of the school committee, are advocates of Moore $ nomination who have been working for Moore in this district, and they also are on the delegation.
 Candidates for the first district nomination are: Jesse Moore. Hart
 
 Herman koppleman, news dealer. of Hartford; ufa Guthrie, Hartford at- torney.
 Guthrie, it is reported. will receive whatever votes National Committee man Thomas J. Spellacy can muster up. Aside from organization efforts which have extended throughout the ss~ I,1 interest of his candidacy.
 koppelman, whose ability as a po- litical organizer, is admitted by all groups in the democratic party. has had several committees working in his behalf and has been in personal touch with great many delegates Each of the 17 who will attend the convention as New Britain's repre- sentatives received an 11th-hour re- quest for support from koppelman today.
 Moore is a native of Virginia, and comes of a family of southern dem. ocrats. He was newspaperman for some years before entering the field of finance. Those who urge his nomi- nation point To potential strength from the small towns in the event that he is placed on the ticket.
 The New Britain delegation, with l5 of its 17 members present, voted 10 go to the convention as unit. but did not decide what candidate would he supported. The absence of two delegates is sufficient to nullify the unit vote pledge and this may be done before the convention Is called 10 order tomorrow morning.
 It is believed that the Moore sup port is strong enough to send the delegation to the convention hall with 17 votes for Moore tomorrow morning. but delegates were in doubt today whether the unit rule would hold long If there is not nomination on an early ballot.

 RECALLING ADDRESS
Mrs. Willebrandt Not List.
 ed Speaker But No Ban on Publicity

Chicago. Sept. 24.-R-Congress
 man Walter Newton, head of the Speakers bureau at western repub- lican campaign headquarters. today cleared up the mystery surrounding the recall last night by the speakers committee of mimeographed ab- stracts of an address of Mrs. Mabel
 Walker Willebrandt before Meth odist Episcopal church conference at Lorain, Ohio.
 He said the abstract copies of the address to Chicago newspapers were gathered up when it was found that Mrs. Willebrandt was not listed as the republican national committee, and not because of anything in the address itself or the abstract of it.

 bureau and press department at tempts to furnish abstracts of the address of the speakers so scheduled from day to day. He said Mrs. WilIe-
 brandt's advance manuscript had
 been received and was distracted and distributed before it was as- certained that she was not sched-
 uled speaker.
 It was then picked up he said in order to avoid complications in the future, including requests for ab- stracts of addresses not scheduled by the national committee. Newspapers which objected to giving up the ad- vance abstract he said. were inform- ed that they might use it if they de- sired.
 In the address Mrs. Willcbrandt attacked the candidacy of Gov. AL fredfred E. Smith because of his
 prohibition views. The copy with drawn from the Chicago newspapers
 was virtually the same as that pro- vided newspapers of the country through dispatches last night. Lorain. O.. Sept. 24.-tP>-A de- nial that religious motives underlay

 church to oppose the election of Governor Smith was embodied in an address prepared for delivery here
