jODOIN ASKS JUSTICE IN
 VOTE RECOUNT
"By God, l Mean to Get It, " z Says Democratic Nominee
 for Congressman
THINKS HE WAS COUNTED OUT
Higgins Reelected on Face of Returns by 75-Hun- dreds of Ballots Thrown Out

Norwich, Nov. 17-"The story that l have given up my fight for recount of the votes for Congressman, in the Third District, is a le,' said Ray date of the Democratic party, who was defeated on the face of the re- turns. by about 100 votes, by Con- gressman Edwin Higgins, Republican today. "If necessary, I will carry my fight to the floor of Congress, in Washington
 The Democrats of the State hope to send another Congressman to the Capital through Jodoin.
 ''I repeat that I honestly believe I was counted out on November 8. All I want is Justice and by God. I mean to get said Jodoin. we've given up nothing. Higgins has been return if the truth was known, he should not have that majority. We are going to fight to a fniSh.''
 At a hearing in this city, yesterday, the Plainfield box was opened and Counsel for Higgins and Jodoin agreed that only the sixty illegal or re- jected ballots, be counted. After ar gument. 90 votes. which both sides agreed were illegal, copies of the re- mainder were taken by the judges, who will pass upon them and report to the Secretary of State. The boxes fin the towns of Norwich, Killingly and Putnam remain to be opened and the rejected votes recounted.
 Mir. Jodoin said he was certain. to- day, that the vote was tempered with in other towns of New London and Windham counties, comprising the Third district but he stated that he was unable to secure the necessary affidayits in the short time between election day and the legal date of fil- ing the petition for a recount.
 At any rate" said Jodoin, "the fight for justice has merely begun. It may take a few days for the judges of the Plainfleld ballots. More time may be consumed with the other towns if we decide that the outcome would be favorable to a recount of these towns after we decide on the Plainfield vote. But I will go to Washington if the judges decide against me Because in my fight to represent the people, I have no oth- CT interest than to see their will car on a platform of service devoted to the peoples interests. They have never been represented in Congress and If they elected me I do not see why I should not heed their call. If there is justice T mean to get it.
 Two newspapers, both of Statewide reputation printed conflicting esti- mates of the vote in the Third dis trict, today The Hartford Courant gives Higgins a plurality of s7 and the Norwich Bulletin gives him 219 Both papers pointed out alleged CT TOTS in the others returns and it ap- pears that only a wholesale recount can effect a reconciliation of both sides in the controversy.

DR. ATKINS CEASES THIEF
 IN AN AUTO
Detective Peter Hackett Sprains Leg During Sprint-But Char les McManus, Exhausted is Captured by Pedestrian

Charles McManus, for several weeks employed at Martin & Atkins veterin- ary hospital at Broad and Elm streets, led merry chase from Houston street down Broad street to Whiting street in the moonlight just before 8 o'clock last night, when Detective Sergeant Hackett and Dr. Atkins attempted to apprehend him for theft of about S60 worth of jewelry and clothes from the veterinary hospital.
 Detective Hackett turned on his leg in the chase, and sprained his knee so painfully that he may be laid up for weeks, while pr. Atkins, pressing his automobile into service. found the machine so fleet that without much difficulty he tired out the runner, and got him so thoroughly exhausted that a lad joining in the chase near the finish was able to throw McManus and hold him until the veterinarian leap ed from his machine and captured him.
 McManus protested his innocence until he was brought into the detec- tive bureau this morning and given grilling by Captain Arnold. Then he admitted his guilt and told where the stolen stuff could be found. He had pawned a pin in the shape of an Elk head, studded with diamonds, and had kept the clothes of the doctor for his own use.
 McManus was held for further inves- tigation when arraigned before Judge Wilder in the City court today, and tomorrow will be tried for theft Dr. Atkins, who did a little sleuthing on his own account. after McManus quit his employ, found hat he was calling on a young woman living in Houston street, and when the detectives had been unable to locate him on the street, he volunteered to take Hackett to the young woman's house.
 As they neared the place in the ma chine, McManus became aware of their presence and dashed down the street, with Hackett in pursuit. He turned on his knee after a few hundred feet, but fortunately pr. Atkins brought up the rear with his machine and then. regulating the car so that 1t kept pace with the object of their pursuit he ran the man clear down to Whiting street, tiring him out before attempt ing to capture him.

REBEL LEADER
 FROM MEXICO
 BEING WATCHED
Especial from United Press.) )

San Antonio, Nov. 17.-Franciso I. MaderO, recognized leader of the anti-Diaz party, in Mexico, and d resident of San Antonio, since his escape recently from a Mexican pris- on, is being watched in his move ments here, by 60 secret service men, it is said, today, by the local police authorities. To the vigilance of these detectives is credited, largely, the dis covery in 12 Mexican states, of Ma dero'S alleged plot to throw the Mex ican republic into a revolution.
 Dispatches say the revolutionists' plans have been frustrated in 12 states and it is believed that a serious outbreak has been averted. With the discovery of the movement, be- lieved to have been conducted from this city, by Madero, authorities found that a great quantity of fire arms and ammunition had been ship ped from San Antonio. It is said that fully 2,000 rifles and thousands of round of ammunition are conceal ed in caves along the Rio Grande river. In Mexican cities, where revo- lutionists were foiled in their at tempts to incite a revolution, quanti- ties of arms and ammunition were secreted.
 Madero was candidate for the Mexican Presidency, opposing Diaz' reelection. He was imprisoned short ly before the Mexican elections, re- leased on bond two months ago, and fled to the United States.

After being out but ten minutes, the jury in the Common Pleas court, criminal side, in the trial of Frank Herman charged with keeping a house of assignation at 36 Bank street, returned with verdict of guilty.
 Judge James F. Walsh. in passing the maximum sentence on Herman. a fine Of s100 and costs. and six months fin jail, expressed regret that he couldn't make the punishment heavier. Herman was led off to jail. No ap peal had been taken up to press hour this afternoon.
 This case Is one in which I have no sympathy for this man, said Judge Walsh in passing sentence. 'I don't think there is anything lower than to lead young girl astray. This man here not only led the girl astray but accepted money from her profits in that life. My only regret is. that the statue does not provide a greoter fine and sentence. The statute fixes the maximum penalty as a fine of S100 and costs and six months in jail. If I could I would gladly make it a year."
 Evidently the jurymen did not take into consideration the plea of Attor- ney Henry Greenstein, counsel for Herman, that a not-guilty verdict should be returned. The juryme.. yesterday were forced to listen to the life story of Ruth Dressel, the 13 year old Brooklyn girl who ran away from her home with John Carroll and came to live a life of shame in Her. mans resort.
 The straightforward testimony of the wayward girl branded Herman's

BLACK HAND" TURNED ABOUT
 FOR SPANKING
DeSperadoes Send Thrills of Ter. TOT Through Prosperous Far mer of Boston Avenue
BLACK HANDERS AGED 10
Detective Department Sets Trap and Catches Bandits Who De- manded $1O,0OO

Signing themselves as '"The Black Hand' and demanding $50,000 under the pain of death, three youngsters of the Huntington road school, none of them yet 10 years old, succeeded of John H. DeWolfe, 1347 Boston avenue, until the identities of the au- thor of the black hand letter were discovered by the police.
 MT. DeWolfe received in his mail yesterday a letter that read as fol- lows:
 MT. John DeWolfe:
 T will lay for you, Henry, Harry and Burr and you will pay us the sum of S60,000 or your life. We will take you off in a hack Sunday morn ing.
 'If you will settle up and give us $10,000 we shall be satisfied. If not, we will kill you. MT. Reed will also heip. us: He says that you are a
 From the Black Hand.
 Money or you life. Send us the night in the barn.
 DeWolfe turned the letter over to the detective bureau. Its fear-in- spring contents were discussed at length and plans were laid for the apprehension of the black handlers. Detective Hall learned from the fam fly that there were several children known as Henry, Harry and Burr, in the neighborhood, and he set out to find the youngsters.
 This forenoon he found Henry and Harry, the sons of R. G. Booth, a wlre worker, living at 90 Bond street in their rooms at the Huntington school. This afternoon he found the youth supposed to be Burr, in the person of Robert Earl, whose play mates call him Burr
 Henry and Harry said they and Burr had laid plans for getting the millionaire's money and that Burr had taken the responsibility of writ ing the letter to DeWolfe.
 The DeWolfes have been prosper ous farmers and dairymen for many years. MT. DeWolfe was consider ably relieved to find that the sup posed black handlers were only school boys. After a long conference with Captain Arnold, the youngsters went home with much misgiving, fearing the punishment they knew was in store for them on their arrival.

BOOM FOR M'CALL AGAINST LODGE
 lN BAY STATE
Especial from United Press.)

Boston, Nov. 17.-With former Governors Guild and Bates on the Lodge band wagon, the name of Con gressman Samuel W. Mccall, today, was more consistently put forward by certain of his political friends, as a candidate for the United States Sem ate against Senator Lodge, than ever before.
 The boom for Congressman Mccall reached the stage, today, that it was a topic of conversation and specula- tion among prominent politicians of both parties. The feeling has been growing in Republican circles that Lodges reelection is doubtful, de- spite the efforts of the Lodge ma chine.
 In case it appears that Senator Lodges return proves impracticable, Mccall is believed, by many Repub- Iicans, to be the strongest available candidate to replace him. Friends of the Congressman have decided to place the name of their candidate in the race early.
 Congressman Mccall has represent ed Massachusetts continually since March 4, 1893. He was reelected for a tenth term, to begin in Decem- members of the ways and means com mittee and holds the chairmanshlp of the library committee.
 Colonel Edward Glines of Somer- vile, who is a close friend of Mccall, when told, today, of the reported candidacy of the latter against Sen- ator Lodge. said that he had nor heard the report. He doubted if the Senatorial boom had the sanction of Congressman Mccall.
 Gaston. Democrat, who opposed Lodge at his last election, today, stated that he had been urged by friends throughout the state to enter the Senatorial field against Senator Lodge and that he is giving the mat ter careful consideration at the pres ent time.
