Rutland, Nov. 25.-Harry r.
Kingsley, brother of Henry B.
Kingsley, who, with Hugh H. Bax-
ter, has been conducting the search
for Kingsley in New York, arrived in
this city yesterday morning and will
investigate thoroughly on the theory
that the missing man may have re-
TURNED to Vermont, although neither
one Of the men is of the opinion he
is in the State They reported that
the New York police are taking an
interest in the case and doing all they
can to help the searchers. The hos
pitfalls and morgues of New York
have been thoroughly investigated
but nothing can be learned about the
man. H r. Kingsley thinks he has
not been murdered as the body would
have been found before this, so
thorough has been the search.
