 FOUND DEAD IN CHAIR
Robert Holindr Believed to Have Died
 of Starvation,

Branford, Conn. Nov. 2.-Seated in a chair in his little shack in the Ivy Swamp section of the town, Robert Holindr who for more than thirty years had lived the life of a recluse, was found dead today Death was though the medical examiner has not yet made known the official cause The man had been dead about 24 hours.
 shroud of mystery had enVeloped Holindr during the thirty years he had elected to live a hermit's life in the woods here. Why he came here no one seems to know. By common report, the man was believed to be a political exile from Switzerland He had once served in the army. His wife, who lived in Switzerland died some time ago. It is said he is survived by a daughter, living in Switzerland
 HOlindr. during the first few years of his residence here, was seldom seen by anyone. He talked fluent German and at times discussed affairs; all ways, hoWeVer, maintaining a non committaf attitude concerning himself Of late years, he hired out to farm CTS and was considered an excellent workman.
 During the course of years he ac- cumulated enough money to purchase fourteen acres of farm land, where his shack was located; thus giving him the SeclusiOn that he apparently de- sired
 It was reported that he recently fell heir to money from his home coun- try He was very saving of his money and scarcely spent even enough to provide the necessities of life.
 A neighbor saw him last Friday and noticed that he appeared very i'll. An other neighbor, in passing the house today, peered through the window to see him dead. Holindr was about 50 years old

ELEVEN NEW HAVEN
 FIREMEN OVERCOME
Acid Fumes Made Work Difficult at
 Drug Store Fire.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2-Eleven firemen were overcome by acid fumes and smoke in fighting a stubborn blaze in a drug store at Church and Center streets in the heart of the business section this afternoon Half dozen firemen collapsed at once. Police and fire surgeons were forced to use pull motors to save their lives, treating the men on the sidewalks within the fire lines, and in adjoining buildings. One fireman was sent to the hospital; the rest were taken to their homes, They will probably all recover,
 The fire started from spontaneous romb-l stfOn, it is supposed in the eel lar of the Washburn drug store. A of smoke that issued from the cellar just before two o'clock caused policeman to ring in an alarm, bringing out a majority of the fire apparatus. The firemen ran lines of hose in the cellar but the dense clouds of black smoke combined with fumes from sulphuric and other acids, drove them out into the street.
 Fire walls probably kept the blaze from spreading in the cellar, and the fremen by hard work kept the blaze confined to the cellar. Washburn's drug store, however, was flooded with water The Elm City Shoe store, Laske's cigar store, and some of the offices on the second floor were dam aged by smoke and water. It is not believed that the total damage will exceed s25, 1000. Trolley traffic on Church street was tied up for about four hours, and a. great crowd watch ed the blaze.

Four Leading Candidates Are Conf
 dent of Victory.

Boston, Nov. 2-In the hope of adding to their following, the four can didates for governor who have been most active on the stump, Governor E. N. Foss, independent; Lieutenant Governor, David 1. Walsh, democrat; Congressman A. P. Gardner, republi- can, and Charles $. Bird, progressive will continue campaigning during the few remaining hours, before the state election on Tuesday. Each declares himself confident of success.
 The prohibition, socialists and so cialiSt-labor candidates for governor have been less in the public eye, but their voices have been heard in various cities, and the respective managers hope to poll a sufficient vote to give them official recognition.
 Although Bird. Gardner and Walsh each had the assistance of speakers of national prominence from outside the state, the campaign has been waged largely on state issues. Both Mir. Bird and MT. Walsh advocated changes in the methods of conducting the states business and Governor FosS laid eS- pecial emphasis on the railroad situa- tion and the relations between railroad officials and legislature. Congressman Gardner broke away from the plat form adopted at the republican state convention and throughout the cam paign made q plea for restriction of immigration.
 As many of the cities will keep the polls open Tuesday evening the result of the election is not expected to be known until late that night or early Wednesday morning, All state exc cutive officials, eight members of the governors council and the members of the legislature are to be chosen.

Seven Victims
 Of Explosion
WALLS OF A HARTFORD WARE
 HOUSE TOPPLE
DEBRIS BURIEs HOUSES
Six Persons Were in 1t at the Time Child Dies on Way to Hospital Two Bodies in Ruins.

Hartford, Conn, Nov, 3.-At least seven people are dead or dying as the result of an explosion in Love- lands five story brick warehouse in North Front street early this morning when the walls of the building toppled on the roofs of two adjoining wooden tenement houses. The cause of the eX- plos1on has not yet been learned but there was a fire immediately after it that was soon eXtinguiShed.
 House Buried by Debris.
 The tWo-story house occupied by John Hughes was almost buried under the brick and masonry. These persons were known to have been in the house at the time; John Hughes, aged 65, a. stonecutter; Margaret Hughes, aged 45, his sister another sister, Mrs. Lucy Dooty, and her three children, two girls and boy
 Four in Hospitals.
 Two persons are in the Hartford hospital and two others in St. Francis hospital, supposed to be- fatally in iured. Their names have not yet been learned.
 The roof of a house occupied by a Syrian family was also broken in and members of that family were rescued With difficulty by fremen. Bremen are digging in the ruins of the Hughes house for bodies.
 TWO 6o0leS m the Ruins.
 One of Mrs. Dooty's children died while being taken to the hospital. There are a total of five persons in the hospital including the dead child, and the fremen say there are two bodies in the ruins One of these is believed to be Henry Dooty, the husband of Mrs. fDooty.
 Michael Greenberg, one of the part nerS owning the rag warehouse, where the explosion occurred, declared to newspapermen that the building was dynamited. He refused to assign any motive or to express himself further.
 None of Syrians Injured.
 The explosion seemed to wreck the building in diagonal manner, one whole side-the one that fell on the Hughes house falling down. It was definitely ascertained that no one was injured in the house occupied by, the Syrian family.
 List of Victims.
 The five persons in hospitals are as follows:
 Hartford Hospital:
 F'ive-year- daughter of Mrs. Doo- ty, died while being taken there.
 Mrs Henry DOoty, condition critical. St. Francis HosEital:
 Mrs John Hughes, badly cut and bruised about head and body. Condi- t1on critical.
 Margaret Hughes, daughter of Mrs. John Hughes. Condition serious.
 Irene Dooty, aged IS. severely in- jured, but may recover
 May Not Have Been Explosion.
 While first reports said that there had been an explosion others living nearby deny having heard any sounds of an explosion. At any rate, there is a considerable difference of opinion. Bremen scout the idea that an ex- plosion occurred, and incline to the belief that faulty construction may have caused the warehouse to collapse. The building which was compara- lively new, was lightly constructed, it is declared. The floors were heavily loaded down with rags.
 At 2.30 o'clock, the two bodies had not been removed from the ruins

Governorship and Control of Leeisla-
 kure Involved.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 2.-Besfdes the choosing of a governor, Tuesdays cleo tions will involve the control of both houses of the legislature. Eight mem bers of the state senate are to be chosen and the full membership of the house
 There are six republican and seven democratic holdover state senators, and eleven will be necessary for a ma jority of the upper house. This means that the democrats must elect four and the republicans five state senator's. Five of the eight counties in which senatorial elections are to be held chose democratic senators at their last elections, although only two of the GountieS-1udson and Bergen-arS normally democratic.
 The complexion of next winters as- sembly will depend largely upon the result in Essex county, which is now represented by democratic delega- ton. This is the county in which for mer State Chairman James l.. Nugent Is supreme in the democratic party. and the democratic nominees for aS- semhly are men favored by him.
 Both republican and democratic state managers are claiming victory for their side. The most confidence is express- ed by the democrats, whose candidate for governor is James F. Fielder. who had the endorsement for the noInina- ton of President Woodrow Wilson, However the republicans are more than hopeful of the election of former Governor Edward c. Stokes, the re- publican nominee.
 The uncertain clement in the con- test is the vote that will be received by Everett Colby. the progressive can didate who has made an aggressive campaign. heavy Colby vote prob ably means the election of MT. Fielder,

 Ritual Murder Trial.

Kiev, Nov. 2.-Counsel for the de- fense. in the trial of Mendel Beiliss, charged with murdering the Christian boy Yushinslly, have succeeded in pre- venting the prosecution from having the minutes read of previous cases dealing with alleged ritual murder.

 Among other experts to be heard is Professor KokOvsoff, a relative of the Russian premier. A long list of ab- struse questions concerning ritual mur der was put to the theological experts, neither questions nor answers appar- ently being comprehc nsible to the jury, which is composed of peasants and small shopkeepers. The list in cluded such questions as follows:
 By what did the Jews replace the victim in the case of the first born sacrificed to Jehovah?"
 What portion of the body, accord ing to the interpretation of the Tal- mud and the Cabala, is it out of which the soul is mostly held to issue with the blood?"
 While Father Pranaites was testify ing he mentioned Christ, whereupon the president of the court declared that the name of Christ could only be men toned when the court was sitting be- hind closed doors. Pranaites contend ed that the eXtermination of the Chris tians was the main object of the exist ence of the Talmudists
 At the instance of the prosecution, long extracts were read from a book written by a Greek monk named Neo- phyte conFerted Jewish rabbi Ac- cording to this book, Christian blood is in constant demand by Jews all over the world for various uses on all the cerenonious occasions of life.
