TROTzKy UNABLE
TOMAKE ADDRESS
Prepared Talk Read, How.
ever, in New York-0ffers
to Face Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClAteu EIeos'
NEW YORK, February 10.-Failure
Of efforts to bring Leon Trotzky's
voice by telephone from Mexico City
sent some 5000 Of his supporters home
in disappointment early today. forced
to be content with q reading of q fiery
address the Russian exile airmailed In
advance.
The former Soviet commissar of war
sweepingly denounced the Kremlin
in his prepared speech and dramatic
ally offered to surrender to Soviet
executioners if an impartial commits
sion found him guilty Of crimes i'm
puted to him by Moscow courts.
He predicted inevitable doom for
the new aristocracy" Of the Stain
regime, and reiterated his innocence
of what he called absurd" and fright
full" conspiracies attributed to him in
the recent trial of II Russians, l3
of whom were executed.
Schachtman Reads Message.
Max Schachtman, Trotzky's per-
sonal representative in America, read
the message after the crowd had
waited patiently while efforts were
being made to contact the Bolshevik
exile in Mexico City and at his SUBJ
urban retreat there.
Only confused sounds came from
the amplifiers in the Hippodrome at
1910 pm. when Trotzky was to begin
speaking.
Telephone company officials here
said they knew only that there were
difficulties on the line south of the
Mexican border.
| From Mexico City came word that
Trotzky had slipped from the villa Of
Mrs. Diego Rivera, in Coyocan, under
police escort just before he was to
speak to New York.
Long-distance departments OF Mexi-
cos two telephone companies said
they expected Trotzky to use their
facilities, but that all efforts to locate
him-spurred by urgent calls from
New York-had been futile.
Reported Gone to Mexico City.
At the villa it was said Trotzky had
gone to Mexico City to speak from the
central Office after it was discovered
at the last moment the telephone he
intended using was defective.
Trotzky steadfastly refused to dis
cuss his failure to deliver the sched-
uled address, report from Mexico
City said, when he returned to the
| villa early today.
Harold Isaacs, a member Of the
Trotzky Defense Committee, which
sponsored the meeting, attributed fall
ure of arrangements to technical diff
| ficulties" When Schachtman con.
cluded reading the prepared address
about midnight, Isaacs read a brief
message he said had just been die
tated by Trotzky over a private line,
expressing regret at failure Of the
arrangements.
More than 500 policemen guarded
the auditorium. The Defense Com
mittee had charged a plot was under
way to prevent the exile's voice from
being heard.

mares approach in delight and adj

AS the horse drew nearer, his ex-
preston changed. The mare was
limping badly. He stepped out into
the lane, only vaguely conscious Of
the fact that the rider was a girl.
She saw him and frightened the
reins. The mare came to stop.
Whats the idea?" Jim asked
sternly.
An amazed exclamation was his
only reply. Jim scarcely glanced
at the rider. His concern was for
the animal. Jim glanced at the
horses hoofs, ignoring the girl in
the saddle.

from the oranges and cut them
into rather thin slices. Make a
layer in a glass dish, cover with
freshly-grated coconut and little
sugar if the fruit is rather sour,
and continue in layers, finishing
with coconut and sugar.
Shell fish such as crab, lobster
or shrimp should be stored in a

Jim's aim1ess course had brought
him again to the drive. He walked
between the double line of oaks and
cedars down toward the bridge
across the stream. The plum col

Jim was, at the moment, unaware

problem of his immediate future alb

wasn't problem. He was going to
marry Lenore. He knew that she
loved him. And he was fond Of her.
Wasn't that enough?
The collie whimpered more sharp

had squatted on his launches and
was licking one of his front paws.
Whats the matter, old fellow?"
he asked. He stopped to investi-
