the police, the investigation of the muir
der of Eugene Bosworth. the alleged
policy player who was killed by blows

murderer remains deeply shrouded in
mystery. Chief Rawlings. who left town

he will make his report tomorrow. The
coroner's inquiry has gone hand in hand
with that 70 the police, however, and
there is little likelihood that the report

LAMONT, MAK Run.
would Not Decline to Run for New York
Governorship.


New York, Aug. THE World, in a
telegram from Mlllbrook to-day, quotes
former Secretary of War Daniel 8. La
mont as follows:
II am not candidate, and I believe
this is a year when no man should seek
office. There is an excellent opportuni
ty in my opinion, for the election Of
Judge Parker, and nothing should be
done by anyone which might jeopardize
democratic success"
Continuing, the World says: Colonel
Lamont, who spent several days in New
York last week at the request Of prorni-
nent democrats, declined to say any
thing further for publication as to his
possible nomination at the head Of the
state ticket. But his earnestness when
he made the statement above quoted
and his running comment on the demo-
cratic situation in the state made the
conclusion irresistible that he will not
decline the nomination for governor il It
is rendered to him.

EXPLOSION AT SlVIN ROCK
TWO MEN INJURED AND PANIC
NARROWLY AVERTED

Cooking Arrangement in Crisp Booth
Blows Up and Seriously Burns Pro-
prietors--Ferris wheel In Danger
Big Crowd in the vicinIty Greatly.
Excited-Booth and Days receipts
Destroyed.
There was an explosion and subse-
quent explosion at Savin Rock about
10 o'clock last night which injured two
men. one Of them very seriously, and
was in fair way to cause many deaths
when it was checked. A candy and
lunch booth where CrunSp criss Crump'
was also manufactured, was the scene
of the accident. The booth was run by
Simon Ginsberg, who is about thirty
five years old and lives at 100 Minor
street, and Max Gordon, forty years
old, who lives at 124 washington ave
nue.. Gasolene: is the cooking agent
used for making the crisps, and Gordon
was pumping air into the tank to in
ploded. Both of the men were quite
badly burned, but Gordon ran back to
get the days receipts when his coat
caught fire and he rushed through the
grove all afiame persued by a large
crowd. He was finally caught but not
until he was badly burned. He was
carried into Colgan's drug store and his
burns cared for until the ambulance ar
rived Ginsberg was taken into the
Crescent park lunch room, where he be-
came very Ill from the effects Of the
fire he had inhaled, and was later taken
to the hospital.
AS soon as the explosion occurred the
entire volunteer fire department Of
West Haven was summoned. When the
department arrived the fire was creep
| ing along the insulation of the electric
wires to the Ferris wheel, which stands
just in the rear Of the booth. The
wheel was crowded and large numbers
were congregated In that vicinity when
the explosion occurred and dangerous
panic was with difficulty averted It
was slow work elnptying the wheel, but
twas last accomplished and the dam
I
ger Of many fatalities was averted. The
prompt arrival of the fire department
was the means of saving all but the
booth where the fire was, but the booth
was reduced to q mass Of charred tim
bers and scrap iron. The alarm Of fire
was not without dangerous results,
however, for as a team full of men was
driving at breakneck speed toward the
Rock the horse struck small boy in
front Of the West Haven town hall and
knocked him several feet. twas at first
thought that he was killed, but when
he was picked up he was found not to
| be seriously injured.
The loss caused by the fire was quite
large, as the booth and contents and all
the receipts for the day, amounting to
between forty and fifty dollars, were de-
stroyed or lost Mrs Ginsberg, who was
| to spend the night at the home of a
| friend had left her purse, containing a
sum of money and the key of her home,
and some Of her children's clothing in
| the booth. These were also totally de-
stroyed.
Last night Mr.. Ginsberg was reported
resting comfortably at the hospital and
! it was said that Mr.. Gordon, the more
seriously injured Of the two, would in all
probability recover.
