To prevent further difficulties.
:tegroes were ordered by the police to
keep off the streets

Reports from local hospitals todly
indicated that the police omcers and

probably would recover. Edward
Clement, detective sergeant, was said
to be in the most serious condition.

NEW YORK, July 19.—With very
few exceptions all of the American
business firms and individuals placed
on the
blacklist under the trading with the
enemy act. have their quarters in New
York. Most of these merchants ex-
pressed no surprise today over the
action of Great Britain. J, A. Kahl.
an exporter and importer, said: “This
blacklist has been in the handr of
bankers all over the world at least a
year, to my personal knowledge. 1
have known for more than a year that
I, for one, have been blacklisted. i
am and have been for twenty years an
American. citizen. Not only has my
business which was mainly with
China. Japan and Far-Eastern coun-
tries, been broken off cempletely by
seizure of goods, but i have been un-
able to buy bills of exchange or in
any other way settle my affairs.
0 hers have been unable to get bills

exchange through to me."

o"nitrod Richter. a' trader with Chin-
ese and Japanese merchants, made a
similar complaint. "My goods have
been seized at_’l:long (Kong and else.
where regularly,” he said, "until i
stopped doing‘buslness. My mail to
my agents in Canton, Tien-Tsin and
other cities were returned to me. The
reason, so far as '1 can guess, is that
once almost so years ago, II was con-
nected with a German firm." Mr.
Richter said he had been a citizen of
the United States for 26 years.

John S. Sculiy, of Zimmerman and
Forshay, bankers, said: "All the of-
ficers of our company are American
citizens. or course, much of our bush
ness has been done with Germany,

 

naturally. but for years we have hpd‘

business relations with England and
manyof he‘r colonies. as well as
other countries now included in the

wet-and those which have held aloof." ,

_ pertinent within a day or two. said *

According to a statement recently
issued by a Norwalk man, prominent
in city politics. and in close touch with
the true political situation throughout
'Fairfiold County. it appears that the
chances of the lien. Jeremiah Don-
ovan's gaining the democratic con-
gressional nomination this Fall, are
somewhat alim. The aforementioned
Norwaik gentleman has recently made
a tour of l-‘a'trdeid County. and he
stated to a Sentinel representative
that as far as he could learn. there
was absolutely no soatiaiam for Ir.
Donovan among the people who are
active and accomplish things in poll-
tics. Especially in Bridgeport, it
seems, the feeling against Mr. Dono-
van is most intense. it was stated to
the titles-walk man by a gentleman
high up in politics of the Park City,
that as far as,Bridgcport was our
cerned. the ex-congressman would only
get two delegates out of nineteen in
Bridgeport. This proportion would
be rather small fora man who hoped
to be a victorious andidato.
