FATE OF TROTZKY.
RUMOURS OF HIS DEATH. NO NEWS FROM MOSCOW. SUGGESTION OF ARREST. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received November 18, 10.30 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. 17. Rumours continue to -be circulated regarding the fate of Trotzky, but Moscow is silent. The Soviet Embassy in Berlin describes as obviously false a report from Warsaw that Trotzky was shot while attempting to escape from Russia. Tho Riga correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that at a secret conference Stalin and his closest supporters at the Kremlin considered the question of the arrest, trial and imprisonment of Trotzky, ZinovieS and others, and alter natively, their banishment. Tho decision was not disclosed, but it is believed one or other method will ba adopted shortly. The real motive for the hesitancy is fear of investing the opposition with the glory of martyrdom.
