Reports already coming to the depart
ment OF public instruction are TO the ef-
feet that the enrolment in the high

Of the school year exceed the enrolment
last year. These reports especially refer
to the students enrolled In the normal
training courses OF the schools, as a COM
plete record Of ell these must be kept
by the state. II is now believed that the
increase OF enrolment in these state aided

RELIES ON Mr.. KNOX TO SAVE
HIM FROM BEING Re
TURNED.
LAWYERS ARE STILL CONFIDENT
THAT HE CAN BE KEPT
FROM ASYLUM.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Dec. 23.-
Harry K. Thaw has been assured by
his lawyers that they will probably
save him from going, back to Mattea
wan and tonight despite the Supreme
Courts decision against him he Is
as happy us he has been since he
came to New Hampshire. Following
the orders Of his counsel, he has re-
fused to even talk with newspaper
men today.
II have absolute confidence In Mr..
Knox" he told a friend today, "and
I am going to leave everything in his
hands and I am going to obey his or
ders, no matter what they are"
Mr.. Knox is expected here within a
few days and Mrs. Thaw may be here
by Christmas. She has talked with
her son over the telephone and plead
ed with him to keep up his courage.
"All is not. lost by any MEANS" she
told him. THE lawyers are still con-
hdent that they will be able to keep
you out Of the asylum"
There was reason to believe that
the state Of New York has taken pre-
cautions against any delay in obtain
ing possession OF the prisoner when
the order for his removal is received.
It is asserted by friends of Thaw that
several detectives in the employ OF
New York state slipped into town
during the night and that these men
have since kept a very close watch
on the Thaw home. .
