Jun. 29--KENNEBUNK, Maine--Brian Bartley is a great lover of the frankfurter, specifically all-beef ones made by Hebrew National. So much so that when his family, an Irish-Catholic clan with roots in Methuen, opened a restaurant here two decades ago, Bartley listed the hot dog on the menu next to lobster rolls and fried clams, and more recently he has been happy to have the restaurant sport umbrellas emblazoned with the company's yellow and blue logo.
This summer, though, the umbrellas are hidden from sight, the subject of a federal lawsuit and allegations of anti-Semitism.
