plot to kill King Humbert aud other
monarchs had been Matched in New
Jersey. II the evidence can be pro.
cured and there are still some of those
concerned living in the state they will
be prosecuted. The investigation is
not complete and probably will not be
until information from Italy enables 1t
to be conducted minutely. The gov
ernor does not consider the situation
either at Patterson or West Hoboken
as serious. He does not think the an
