DDEHIAL BY JUDGE BOMMELL Says Liquor Interests Aren't Financing Him State ment Later MILFORD, Sept. 5.

Judge Eugene S. Bonniwcll, Democratic candidate for governor, today enter ed a general denial of all the charges contained in ah attack made upon him yesterday by A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic National Committeeman at the platform meeting of the State committee. Judge Bonniwell is spending a brief vacation in this vicinity. After learning of the charges by Mr.

Pal mer that his nomination had come from the office of Senator Penrose and that John Sinnot, head of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associa tion, is financing his campaign Judge Bonniwell said: "I do not wish to make a formal statement in reply to this attack at the moment. I wish to digest the statement and the objects behind it The statement that my campaign is being financed by Mr. Sinnot and the liquor interests is unqualifiedly false. The other statements are un true and I will take them up care fully a little later." Later in the day he telegraphed to his headquarters in Philadelphia a statement in which he expressed the opinion that Palmer was" a vie tim of "delusional insanity." Penrose on Palmer Charges. WASHINGTON, Sept.

6 Senator Penrose said of the Palmer charges: have had no connection with the frivolous revelations Palmer at tempts to make." "Citizens have viewed with amuse ment the downfall and humiliation of Palmer and his fellow field mar shals in Pennsylvania." "So far I am concerned, the statements of Palmer are unfounded." "Palmer has a habit of making reckless assertions. An utter disre gard of any pretense for the truth and apparently an obtuse failure to realize how ridiculous his statements are has frequently characterized his utterances." "He could well abstain from parti sanship af'this time and not permit his activities to sink to the level of a village postmaster holding office as the result of partisan service." Kutz'a Confidence In Bonniwcll. Attorney Ira J. Kutz, a state com mitteeman of this city, who attend ed the meeting of the State Com mittee, speaking of the 'charges of A. M.

Palmer, said: "I am op posed to taking action on a man when he is not present to defend himself. Palmer and McCormick are no Democrats; they are Prohibition ists, and are attempting to place Prohibition above the party. If Pen rose and Sinnot are trying to double cross Bonniwell, that is their fun eral. In my estimation they are only making the issue better for the Dem ocratic candidate to be elected gov ernor." The proceedings of the committee at Harrisburg were discussed throughout the city and in the rural districts. Berks friends of Judge Bonniwell have come to his support and refuse to pass Judgment on the situation until they hear from their leader and standard bearer.

The Berks forces are divided. One element is defending the Palmer McCormiek organization, while the Bonniwell followers are denouncing the opposition, claiming that it is a frameup to repudiate the nominee, who is fighting his battle alone, without the help of the state organ ization.
