Python telnet connection refuse exception

I'm using following function to make telnet connection verification

telnetlib.Telnet("172.28.5.240", "8080")

When the connection refused it shows exception message. Is it possible to hide the message and detect as success or failed through if condition?

None of the options helped me. Maybe someone will come in handy. 100% working version: Used to check the availability of the RDP server in ZABBIX:

import telnetlib
response = ''
HOST = '192.168.1.201'
PORT = 3389
tn = telnetlib.Telnet()
try:
    tn.open(HOST, PORT, 3)
    response = '2'
except Exception:
    response = '0'
finally:
    tn.close()
    print(response)

Based on Suku's answer I develop my code. that is a working answer. And following is my script for reference.

try:
    conn = telnetlib.Telnet("172.28.5.240", "80")
    response = 'Success'
except:
    response = 'Failed'
finally:
    print response

You can use try-except-finally blocks

 try:
     #
     #
     response = 'Success'
 except:
     response = 'Failed'
 finally:
     print response
