Prize Trip of the Portola Committee

Voting began in earnest yesterday

number of books of voting coupons
were placed in the business houses
where the candidates already qualified
and accepted were elected by their as
sociates. A number of other contest
ants who have entered will be Endorsed
and accepted today and will be sup

tice, and when the cash in in the box

Thaw declared today that there was no
truth in the story that she would bring
suit for $4,000 against her husband,
Harry X. Thaw, or against any member

She said, however, that her usual
monthly remittance of $3.50 from her
husband had not been received this
month, that she was virtually penni-
less and did not know where her next
dollar was coming from.

THAW CONFIDENT
AS TO HIS SANITY
Issues Statement Regarding His
Combat With Jerome and
the Latter's Alienists
Positive That He Proved Him
self Sound of Mind Forty=
five Times Over

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, Aug. 1O.-Re-
asserting his sanity, Harry K. Thaw
today published a statement reviewing
the evidence given in the recent hear
ing on his application for release from
Matteawan In his argument to sus-
tain his contention that he is sane,
Thaw said that according to the alien :
lists, District Attorney Jerome has
proved him to be sane AS times over
in his long questioning.
STATEMENT OF THAW
Thaw's statement follows:
The following is all l have to say about the
trial:
Mr.. Jerome's witnesses were an unprofessional
lawyer and an unfortunate woman, who contra
dicted each other; also three of his peculiar
alienists and DR.. Baker, who, from his testi-
mony, might have been on either side except
that he showed some friendliness to us and could
not remember many admissions he had made to
and to DR.. Pilgrim.
Dr. Baker admitted he did not believe in souls
because he had never seen any. DR.. Mcdonald
and DIR. Flint refused TO believe what Jerome had
solemnly stated to jury, so l hardly think any
judge could believe any of them.
FORTY-FIVE TIMES
The best experts have informed me that If any
insane man was questioned fof 30 minutes as
Jerome questioned me he would assuredly show
his insanity. AS Jerome kept this up over Ii
hours in all during the trial, he proved me sane
40 times over.
MI Jerome at the end of the second trial.
after telling the jury why he had not produced
DR.. Flint and company, said he would submit the
to human intelligence.
1t seems l must be perfectly sane if hard
headed, sensible men who slept in the same room
with me, saw me undress and go to sleep and
wake up, then eat my breakfast, dinner and sup
per, and whe took me up on the mountains,
where could have left them miles behind had
not been Observation-Disclosures and many clergy
men, headed by President Patton of Princeton,
and ladies. some of whom have known me all my
life, and bankers and manufacturers and police
and prison keepers accustomed to observing both
sane and insane men; also city clerks, editors
farmers lawyers and the former governor of a
great state-all find me perfectly sane and none
find anything irrational at all.
AVOIDS ALLEGED DELUSION
This seems to me to prove my sanity 10 times
better than whether no / could handle Mr.
Jerome in 141a hours debate on every possible
subject except the alleged delusion which he did
not seem to want explained Maybe explana
tions would have spoiled his hypothetical ques
