During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or

"Assassin"), using data from both the quadruple 14-cm "Brutus" 
telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii and the double 14-cm "Cassius" 
telescope in Cerro Tololo, Chile, we discovered three new bright  
transient sources

ASASSN-14hi   18:57:46.67   +57:27:14.7     2014-09-16.30    15.2 
ASASSN-14hj   21:16:35.73   -07:49:10.6     2014-09-16.11    14.5 
ASASSN-14hk   01:39:35.68   +35:38:40.8     2014-09-16.60    14.7 

ASASSN-14hi was discovered at V=15.2 in "Brutus" images taken on 
2014-09-16.30, but not present (V>17.5) in images taken on 
2014-09-14.30. There is no matching source at Vizier at this 
position.

ASASSN-14hj was discovered at V=14.6 in "Cassius" images taken on 
2014-09-16.11 and at V=14.4 in "Brutus" data taken on 2014-09-16.34, 
but not present (V>17.2) in "Brutus" images taken on 2014-09-15.36.  
There is a faint (g=22.4), blue SDDS object at this 
position, which, while classified as a galaxy, is most likely 
the cataclysmic variable in quiescence.

ASASSN-14hk was discovered in "Brutus" images taken on UT 
2014-09-16.61 at V=14.7, but not present (V>16.7) in images taken on 
UT 2014-09-14.43. At the position of the transient Vizier reports 
a match to a faint, B=20.8 USNO-B1.0 source, and also a nearby 
GALEX NUV=21.9 source.

Given large amplitude of their outbursts, all three transients may 
be WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, caught early. Follow-up observations are 
encouraged.
