Brilliant Legal
Talent Will Defend Socialists. . . Plans Made for Finish Fight in Behalf of
Suspended Assemblymen
New York, Jan. 11—A brilliant array of eminent counsel,
chiefly “constitutional lawyers,” will plead the cause of the five suspended
socialist assemblymen when they appear before the judiciary committee at Albany
Wednesday, it was announced after an executive meeting of state and city
leaders of the party here today. Charles E. Hughes, who voiced disapproval of
the assembly’s course in a letter to Speaker Sweet, will be among the number if
he can be induced to accept a retainer, it was said. Plans were made at the
conference for a finish fight in behalf of the five men who were victors at the
poles in the last election.

“Soviet Ark” Will
Land “Reds" at Finnish Port
Helsingfors, Finland, Jan. 11—The United States army transport
Buford is expected to arrive here Monday. The passengers, it is reported, are
to be sent by train to a point in Finland opposite Petrograd.
A dispatch from Kiel Saturday announced that the Buford,
which has on board 249 undesirable aliens deported from the United States, had
arrived there Friday evening and would lay up for several days in order to
effect repairs. While no official announcement has been made as to where the “Reds”
will be landed, Helsingfors, Hango and Abo all have been mentioned as possible
ports for the debarkation.
