TY LEASED WIRE. NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 23. The New Orleans police asked the New York authorities to investigate the New York end of a conspiracy revealed here by Hans Halle, a German, to place bombs on board French and British liners sailing for Europe. The police have in their possession a complete bomb of enormous power which Halle said was to have been sent to New York today to be placed on the French liner Chicago, which Bails from that city on Saturday. The bomb was to have been timed to explode on Monday when the ship was well out to sea.
