Deny They Want To Join Bolsheviki Riga, Latv'a, Dec. 3. Despite de nials by former Premier Kerensky and Russian Soviet officials, it is gen erally believed in Riga diplomatic cir cles that feelers have been put out recently by Bolshevik representatives and agents ot the Russian Social Revolutionary party to sound out the possibility of reaching an agree ment for entrance of some of Ker ensky's party into the Moscow gov ernment. That these negotiations, so far, have met with little or no success is also generally believed. M. Tchernoff, one of the leaders of Kerensky's party, who Is now at Reval, is said to have discussed the matter with Maxim Lltvlnoff, chief of the Soviet diplomatic missions abroad, who was at Reval on an un explained errand. Many of the more Important Social Revolutionary leaders remaining ln Russia, including some in prison, are known to have sent word last sum mer to their comrades ln exile at Prague, Czechoslovakia and else where abroad advising a cessation of counter-revolutionary work and an attempt at reconciliation. I According to one report, the Social Revolutionaries proposed that M. Kerensky should be admitted to the Bolshevik cabinet in the capacity of Foreign Minister. They also de manded the calling of a constituent assembly. ' M. Kerensky, however, in an inter view published at Prague where he was staying, Issued a general denial of the negotiations, saying: "I must emphatically deny all rumors about alleged negotiations between the So cial Revolutionary party and the Bol Bheviks for finding means of a com promise. Such action would not only be foolish, but criminal. The fate of Bolshevism is morn or less clear already, for absolute breakdown is inevitable. Russia Is already cured of the ideology of Bolshevism, and we may say that today Russia Is only in the hands of a Bolshevik government apparatus but that Bol shevism as such does not exist." GETTING ON WELL Daniel Williams is getting along well at the Community Hospital and , It Is not believed that he will have to hare his leg amputated.
