any Such Statement-each Enmity
Between Major Pitch and
Himself.
From some unknown source. every
now and t en, there rises the rumor
that Colonel C W. iiendrle. of the
Fourth Regiment. is about to, or is
thinking or tendering «his resignation.
Where they originate. or the cause
thereoi. is as much of a mystery to the
colonel as it is to theiréadlng public.
The latest bit oi gossip in this respect
was published in the Bridgeport
Farmer a few days ago and reads:
“There are again rumors ot the
resignation oi Colonel Hendrie, of the
Fourth Regiment, but they are as fleet
ing at this time as heretoiore A.
that they rest on is the word or the
colonel himself. who stated that he
would resign after his iiiteen yours’
service were up, Which was the 8th. oi!
last month. At camp. last year. he
stated that it was his last term at
Niantlc. it is. currently believed in
military circles in this city that (Join.
rial liendrie would resign it it were
not for the fact; that he thinks that.
under the present circumstances Major
Fitch would be his successor. The lat«
ter omoerl is energetic, has influence at
headquarters and was a member of the
examining board which, by the wily,
turned down colonel Hendrie on his
first appearance before it. it has been
Inferred since then that the colonel
does not want to step down and out
while the major it a possible candidate
as successor."
When Colonel Hendrle was seen by
a Stamtord Telegram reporter regard-
ing the rumor. he expressed his sur-
prise that any such article should be
published. "There are absolutely no
grounds for any such statements or
tutory,” said the colonel, ."and it pure
ales me to know where they originate.
