MRS. HESS FOUND WANDERING THROUGH TRUMBULL; ALL HER
 MONEY STRANGELY MISSING
Said 10 Have Had More Than $5,OOO in Her Possession When She Escaped
 from Sanifarium Attendant

Mrs. Gertrude Hess, the wealthy New York widow who escaped yester- day from a Westport Sanatorium at tendant while passing through Bridge port, after wandering about the coun- try roads of Fairfield, Easton and TrumbulI during the entire afternoon and night was recaptured this morn ing by Capt. George Arnold of the local detective department accom- panied by a picked squad of assistants including Detective Sergeant Peter Hall and Policemen Sheridan Ladd and Dennis Toohy.
 She was almost in a state of col lapse and was wandering ainfessly to- wards Bridgeport. Brought to this city in the police patrol she was met by her two sons, William and John M. Hess, who had secured the coun- tryside in an automobile, following the many traces which had been fur nished by readers of The Farmer.
 When questioned at police head quarters it was ascertained that the S5,0o0 which She was reputed to have had in her possession was missing and all efforts to have her say what had become of it or where she had stop ped during the night was futile Both to the police and to her sons she maintained absolute and stolid sf1- ence. At one. time she admitted that she had stopped at the house of

Governor Has Many
 PIuIns To Distribute
To Name Minor Court Judges and 8 County Commissioners

Hartford. June Ex-Governor Bald win will have a number of commit tees to appoint, of which that of fish cries and game, of eight members, is one of the most important. Opinion holds that three members will be the present commissioners should they de- sire to serve as it is only a short while ago since the governor re-appointed them under the old law. When the public utilities commission was ap- pointed, the governor selected the three railroad commissioners whom he had previously named under the existing law.
 Every one of the new committees created is to be filled by. direct ap- pointment.-E> This is in striking con- trast with commissions created when the legislature was Republican in both branches and the executive Re- publican. Most of the older commits sions required the consent of the Sen- ate. Gov. Baldwin will make judge ship appointments in those courts in which there will be vacancies by rea;- son of disagreements over judiciary committee reports and will fill county commission vacancies. The governor has asked the attorney general for a number of opinions on various ques- tions but whether upon the judgeshfps and county commissionership is not known.

someone but she refused to give any intimation which would afford a clue.
 Later she was taken to New York city and it is believed that she will not be sent to sanitarium again but that trained nurses will be kept in constant attendance.
 William Hess said the recent death of a husband and mother had preyed upon Sler mind.
 Much nystery is thrown about the actions of the woman by the employ ment of a number of private detee- tives who are still tracing her move ments throughout the country, osten- sibly for the purpose of ascertaining where she may have stopped at any time during the night. ~
 The first trace of her was found yes- terday afternoon at the Harry Ed wards homestea d., Fairfield. Thence she was traced to Easton and lost when it was learned she had been af- forded a ride ont an unknown farm er's wagon.
 Early this morning she was recog- nized by resident of Long Hill who yesterday read a report of her dis appearance in The Farmer and at once communicated with Capt. Arnold. With a squad of men Capt Arnold. sped to the spot and after spreading his men about she was found walking towards the dgeport-Trumbull line. She did not resist
