TROUBLE IN (. 0.P.
Contests for Place Among the Elect and Investigation of Fraud Has
 Stirred the Party.
DUNHAM'S NAME MENTIONED

The defeated democratic candidates in the recent election may find some consolation in the racket and rumpus going on in the ranks of the victors. What with the fight on between Rep- resentatives-elect Banks and Tilson in the house and Senators-elect Walsh of Greenwich and Judson of Stratford for chairmanship of the judiciary committee, and the investi- gation in New Haven under the cor rupt practices act, the republicans have more than their hands full in taking care of themselves.
 A rumor from New Haven came to town to-day with a fine strapping looking republican that back of this investiga- tiOn was the official form of County Sheriff A. B. Durham. There are numerous republicans in town who would not believe word of the rumor. They said that Sheriff Dun ham is too much of man to disturb his party by clamoring for any in vestigation or anything else that would be likely to interfere with its external harmonious appearances, but there were others who held a different opinion. They said that considering the way in which the sheriff was thrown down he would be entitled to seek satisfaction and revenge by any means.
 A Democrat reporter thought it advisable to give the sheriff word to say about the matter and after warning the sheriff that he was being interviewed for publication, he was asked if there was any truth in the rumor.
 There is not particle of truth in the report" said the sheriff, leaning over the balustrade in the upper lobby of the court house. "The first 1 knew of it George Stevens, who is in my office in New Haven, told me that State Attorney Williams notified him to be on hand last Monday morn ing, that an investigation was to be started. He did not say what the na- ture of the investigation was to be, and 1 don't know if he knew what it was. The next thing I heard was that several of the deputies had been sent out with subpoenas to bring in certain people who were connected with the election. thought the in- vestigation would be open, but to my surprise found that it was not. It was then I got the first iRkling of what the investigation was to be for"
 Tt is said that you are at the bot tom of the investigation because you wish to get back at the machine for throwing you down."
 Not word of truth in 1t, sir; not a word of truth in it. I'm not crying because I was thrown down. It's all over and done with now and we'll. that's all care to say. I don't know a thing about the investigation either officially or otherwise. Mir Fox who is conducting the investigation with States Attorney Williams has been interested in this reform busi- ness for some time. and that's all know about It."

American Pin Co Tracing Goods Stol.
 en From Its Factory.

Nathan Raffel, peddler, was ar rested to-day by Detectives Dodds and Keegan on a charge of theft. AL though Raffel as yet is the only per son arrested. other arrests may fol- low. as the case involves several per- sons.
 It appears that a few of the em- ployes of the American Pin company have been taking large quantities of safety pins from the factory and dis posing of them to Raffel. who in turn sent them to New York. The practice has been going on for some time and everybody was making money on the scheme but the concern. SO 1t decid- ed to find out where its pins were to. Upon investigation they found that about S100 worth of pins had been smuggled out of the factory. The arrest of Raffel to-day was the result.

THE GRACE BROWN MURDER.
Little New Information in Gillette's
 Trial.

Herkimer, N. Y., Nov 22.-There
 was another great crowd of women
 and men waiting early this morning
 for the doors of the old fashioned
 Herkimer county court house to open
 that they might again gain seats to listen to continuance of the tragic
 story which lies behind the love of pretty Grace Brown of Cortland for Chester Gillette, of the death of the girl and lastly the trial of Gillette for her alleged murder. When the
 court session closed after dark last night the chain of witnesses present. ed by the prosecution had got to the point of the story where Gillete was at Arrowhead on Fourth Lake, fol- lowing his fateful boatride with his one-time sweetheart on the waters of the Big Moose. District Attorney
 Ward had shown that the two started out together on the lake, were seen drifting along in the dusk close to the shores of lonely bay and that only Gillette returned to land. The prosecutor Is picturing the life nar-
 rative of the two young people from the beginning of their acquaintance ship. He had not reached the find- ing of the girls body and of{icially the jury had not been told of her death. As circumstantial evidence is to be relied upon the district attor- ney Is introducing every scrap of evil dence tending to throw light upon the events of Grace Browns last days. He said to-day that he does not know just when the prosecution will close.
 Exactly what the defense will be has not yet been disclosed. Those who have been following the trial closely incline to the suicide theory and it Is said Gillette's counsel have a score of witnesses. They maintain absolute secrecy on the subject.
 The court session began at 10 o'clock. Gillette walked briskly to his seat beside counsel. He then re lapsed into his customary attitude, sitting we'll down in the chair with his chin in his hand. He carried a notebook and pencil and while the first witness was testifying made several notes. The witness was a porter at Arrowhead hotel where Gil- lette went the night Grace Brown disappeared. He gave details of the defendants arrival at Arrowhead, th district attorney taking up the story of Gillette's movements where he le on last night. After registering the porter said he showed Gileltte to Room 23. He afterward found this a mistake and transferred the guest to Room 24. The witness gave little new information.

 T shall continue to use every effort to secure citizenship for Porto Rico. am confident this will come in the end. and all that I can personally do to hasten that day I will do. My efforts will be unceasing to help you along the path of true self government, which must have for its basis q union of or der. liberty, justice and honor"
