Croker Plans US Visit Denying Political Aims
Special dispatch reports Richard Croker will tour America in the fall to see old friends, insisting the trip has no political purpose and he remains out of politics. He criticizes the Ireland home rule bill, supports state rail regulation, and denies entering Parliament, promising ready denials to any yarns about office. Augustus Thomas likewise says his London visit is purely theatrical, not aimed at Croker, and will rejoin Bryan league activities upon return.
