CRTPPEN GETS
LEASE OF LIFE
Date for His Execution Post
pOned Until NOVem-
Der q
HOME SECRETARY TO
INVESTIGATE THE CASE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Nov THE date for the
execution by hanging of DR.. H. H..
Crippen, murderer Of his wife. Belle
Gilmore, the music hall singer, was
to-day postponed. The day originally
fixed was tomorrow.
Crippen was overioyed when the
high sheriff informed him of the post
ponement
Il believe that something will yet
intervene to prove my innocence he
declared.
The condemned man was cautioned
against letting his hopes mount TOO
high.
The postponement was ordered Of
ficially by the Home Office, which
is taken by many to indicate that
Home Secretary Winston Churchill
will at least give the case a thorough
hearing before he allows Crippen to
go to the gallows.
Later i'm the day 1t was semi-oiii-
cially announced that the execution
would take place ON Wednesday, No
vember %, unless the Home Secre-
tary shall decide to grant a commu-
tation or pardon TO the wife muir
derer.
AT Scotland Yard it was said that
the postponement OF the execution
had nothing TO do with the Philadel-
phia report that Mrs. Crippen is
alive and hiding as the result OF a
fiendish plot to send her husband 10
death. The authorities declared that
they had not heard Of the rumor nor
had they heard of the offer of DR..
Munyon. the Philadelphia patent med
icine man to pay $4,000 for informa-
ton as to the whereabouts OF Belle
Gilmore alive.

sented Crippen ever since the latter

ON The EVE OF
The ELECTION
Politicians Specializing As to
How the Silent Vote
Will Go
NEW YORK WILL BE
HEARD FROM EARLY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NV YORK. Nov. 7.--While the
leaders of the several parties are TO-
day clearing up the loose odds and
ends of the campaign, the majority OF
the workers have settled back to
await returns. On the surface every
where, there is plenty of confidence.
but in many instances there are real
cases of cold feet" and wondering
what the silent vote will do in the
final analysis. The result is likely to
be i'm doubt until Wednesday MORN
ing in many of the states.
The first returns will come in from
Massachusetts tomorrow, starting as
early as o'clock. Il is entirely pos
sible that the result in the Bay State
will be known by o'clock. The
first returns in New York state will
come in soon after 3 o'clock, When
the polls close. Monroe and Erie
counties, where are located the cities
of Rochester and Buffalo, have voting
machines IN part so that good lint

! The general result Is New York stat
will probably be indicated at
o'clock
Returns from New Jersey will be re-.
sonably early, but those from Penn
sylvania, Ohio and the middle western
states are likely to be late because OF
the large ballots and the general
slashing that is looked for
At Congressional campaign head
quarters here, il is not believed that
accurate figures on the makeup ol
the Sixty-second Congress will be
available before Wednesday.
This was dough day for Tammany
and the Republican organizations in
the city. Both sides say that there
is less money than ever before to be
used in getting out the vote" and the
average was put at forty dollars to Z
| district. Some close district, o
course, got far more than that sum
but It was agreed that most Of II
would be expended legitimately. Th'
actual buying of votes, with the eX
ception OF some of the lodging hous'
district, has gone out of fashion here
and the money will be spent to-mor
row on carriages to bring voters q
the polls and in taking care o
workers.

Both sides are accusing the other of
intentions to use money Illegally. and
the Republicans, Democrats and the
Anti-Bribery League all have detec-
tives in the field. Reports from the
two lower counties are that the Dem
ocrats seem to be supplied with more
campaign money than they have had
for long time.
The Republicans unearthed some
Democratic registration frauds in VIII

In passing rule to do away with
farming" the American league has
caused few OF the teams In the class

the future. for there was sea. cely an
American league club that did not
have his favorite spot To send excess
baggage.
For instance. George Stallings 81 the
New York club sends his best second
string men TO Joe McGinnitys Newark
club. while Utica OF the New York
state league gets the remainder. In
dianapolis and Rochester are the clubs
considered friends" OF Detroit ST.
Paul gets first call on Bostons super.
fiuous players, while Toledo seems to
have the call when the Cleveland mag
mates cut down their list. Connie Mack
sends mis- recruits TO the Tri.State
league. close To home. where he eau
keep an eye on them. Minneapolis
was Washington's farm last season.
but as Clntillion is out and left Nc
Aleer with only twenty-nine men the
! Nationals Will have no dumping
ground among the minors.
| Louisville will receive the men that
ST Louis does not want, for Bob
Hedges has an interest In the Colonies.
Minneapolis will probably get some
favors from Comiskey this winter,
while the Providence club. In which
Hugh Duffy still holds stock. may get
| some OF the White Sox that nufry
does not want at Chicago
The National league has been some
what freer from the farming EVIL
than the American. Still. scarcely a
club refralned entirely. Ebbets sent
his extra men to Rochester last sea
son. Pittsburg 10 Wheeling whhc New
York and Boston were friendly TO GER
tain clubs IN the little leagues in the
east Buffalo also was I'm right with
the Giants. Cincinnati used TO send
its excess material To Atlanta, but
some other club will draw the prizes
this winter. as the Athletics have
crowded the Reds from Atlanta as a

Johnny King. Chicago's recalcitran'
catcher, may also apply for reinstate
ment, but Johnson has announced his
unwillingness to allow King back IN
the fold. He however. may relent
especially as the National League did
