BOSTON, Nov. 1.-The closest CON

schism in the Republican national par

Progressive party, is expected at the
election of state officers today.
Gov. David l. Walsh, renominated
for a third term by the Democrats, last
night summed up his campaign in these
words: - am going to be reelected
governor of Massachusetts tomorrow

Former Congressman Samuel W. Nc
Call, who was defeated by Gov. Walsh
by 10000 votes a year ago and again
heads the Republican ticket, gave
this as his final word last night:
Il shall receive the largest vote east
for any candidate for governor in the
last eight years, and shall be elected
tomorrow by a very substantial ma
iority.'
Nelson B. Clark, the Progressive
candidate, and William Shaw, the nom
inee of the Prohibitionists, expressed
confidence that they would receive sub

POLICE BAFFLED IN
BRIDGEWATER CASE
Efforts to Trace Big Red Automobile
Which Is Believed to Have Killed
McFadden Fail

WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass, Nov.
2.-The police are still baf11ed in their
efforts to trace the big red automobile
which is supposed to have struck and
killed William McFadden, before his
body was placed in the water near
Skim Milk bridge, where it was founo
Sunday afternoon.
Medical Examiner Z. 4. Paine of
Brockton performed an autopsy yes
terday, but his report has not been
made. public.
The theory that MeFadden was muir
dered before his body was placed in
the stream is being carefully investi-
gated by the men in charge of the
case, Officer Davenport and Chief of
Police Harry W. Swift of Bridgewater.
1t is understood that so far they have
been unable to find any evidence to in
dicate that this was the case.
Side streets near the scene of the
tragedy have been investigated and at
one corner the marks of a tire indicated
that a machine had made the turn at
rapid rate. The make Of the tire
was plainly evident in the sand and
the marks were visible for some dis
lance .-..
1t is understood that an effort was
made to find out where the victim OF
the accident had been during the early
part of the day. Albert Short, who
lives a short distance from the spot
where the body was found, appears to
be the last one to see NcFadden alive
Mr.. Short says that he saw McFadden
soon after II o'clock.

KING BACK IN ENGLAND.
Condition Said to Be Improved, Though
Journey Fatigues Him.

LONDON, Nov. . - King George,
who was injured last week by being
thrown from his horse while reviewing
troops in the field. returned to London
last evening. The king arrived a.
Buckingham palace at 7.30 o clock. Al
though much fatigued by the journey,
his condition was officially reported as
satisfactory. The king reached Vie
toria station by special train. Elab-
crate precautions were taken to insure
privacy, the greater part of the station
being closed. The public exit was also
closed, but the elaborate nature of the
measures defeated their purpose, as
they attracted large crowd which
lined all the approaches to consider
able distance and loudly cheered when
the kings motor ear appeared, follow
ed by several others containing mem
bers Of his suite.
