BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 29-The re-
port of the special senate committee
whcih investigated Mexico and the revo-

day, His position in regard to Mexico
he told his visitors, has not changed
since he sent the Mexican ambassador
hurrying down to Mexico City with word
from the White house that Intervention
was not an imposslbiity
Mr.. Taft made It clear to friends that
Intervention is just as far away today
as It was then--it is not a probability,
but 1t Is not an impossibllity.

McHarg has announced his purpose to
support President Taft.
The senate committee will not decide
until Mr.. McHarg's testimony has been

Appeal to Bryan
To Start Campaign
To Trim Mr. Murphy

SYRACUSE. N. Y. Sept. @.-William
J. Bryan may be appealed to by the
opponents Of Charles F. Murphy, leader
Of Tammany hall, to lead the fight
against the denomination Of Governor
John A. Dix at the democratic state con-
vention which meets Tuesday. Some Of
the anti-Murphy leaders who reached
here tonight held a conference at which
this proposition was. discussed. It was
said that with Mr. Bryan on the ground
general campaign would be started not
only to defeat Governor Dix for renom-
nation, but to overthrow the leadership
OF Mr.. Murphy in this state. The anti
Murphy leaders were not at all certain,
however, that Mr.. Bryan could be pre-
vailed upon to take part in a state fight.
Those opposing Mr.. Murphy were keenly
interested in the announcement made in
New York last night by Senator O'Gor-
man that the name of Justice Victor J.
Bowling of the supreme court would be
placed in nomination by friends or Gov
ernor woodrow Wilson. who are under
stood to look with disfavor on the renom-
ination of Governor Dix. The governors s
friends declared tonight that they were
as confident as ever that he would head
the ticket.
On his arrival here tonight from New
York, Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, made 1t clear that he still
believed the convention should renominate
Governor Dix.
That Mr.. Murphy and his friends control
the majority Of delegates is conceded
without exception. Out Of 40 delegates,
the opponents of Mr.. Murphy tonight
claimed only to have fifty or possibly
sixty votes.
SEAGIRT, N. j.. Sept. Ex-Governor
Wilson issued statement tonight call
ing on delegates at the New York state
convention at Syracuse next Tuesday to
choose as governor progressive man
Of the kind to be his own master. He
likewise urged a progressive platform
and declared that 1T will not do for the
choice of the convention at Syracuse to
be any less free than that which gave
the third party Mr.. Straus and the regu-
lar republican party Mr.. Hedges"

under circumstances indicating one Of the
most revolving crimes in the history OF
the state. The home of the victims was
burned in an effort to destroy the bodies,

of degenerate Of the same kind as the
perpetrators Of similar axe murders in
Iowa and Colorado recently.

strongly that all four were murdered be-
fore the home was destroyed by fire.

evidently made with a club, She and Mrs.

pillow upon which Miss Kaempen had
been lying was not burned. 1t is soaked
with blood. eE

burned, but the back Of her head was pro-
tected from the flames and there is II
wound, several inches across, through

of the two older persons had been burned

HADLEYS DECLARATION
BRINGS OUT NO RESPONSE

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29-No word from
President Taft came last night or today
in reply to Governor Hadley's ultimatum
to the state republican committee yes
terday as to the terms on which he
would support the president in the pres
ent campaign. This was explained to-
night by Colonel Otto F. Stifel, member
lican national committee, who said that
though he had wired President Taft last
nigh the text of Governor Hadley S
ultimatum and had failed to hear from
the president, he had sent the president
a second telegram today saying that no
immediate reply was necessary.
Colonel Stife, explaining this action,
in a statement declared he had informed
the president that he considered Had
ley's speech last night at the opening
of the state republican campaign as an
endorsement of Taft and a promise to
support him."
Governor Hadleys ultimatum was that
he would support President Taft for re-
election only on condition that the presi-
dent would at once declare himself for
presidential preference primaries and
non-bossed controlled delegations from
southern states to national conventions
in order to prevent recurrence OF the
charges of fraud such as arose in the
last republican national convention.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Sept 30
In statement issued tonight. Governor
Herbert S. Hadley reiterated the stand
he took last night at St. Louis in regard
to the presidential race and his support
of Taft or Roosevelt, The governor de-
clared he had heard nothing from Presi-
dent Taft and implied that unless he re-
ceived a favorable message from the pres
ident he would take no active part in the
campaign.
