That William Barnes, in giving his reasons for opposing direct primaries, had said that he believed such e1ec- tons would give too much publicity to candidates for office, as they would be forced to go through two cam paigns, was the testimony by Ls. w. France, chairman of a committee of the Young Mems Republican club of Brooklyn.
 France said under oath that MT. Barnes had told him that the reputa- ton of any man could be ruined by turning the limelight upon him and that ha could vote the rif-raff of the Democrats in Albany in the Re publican primaries and so disgust the people that they would demand a, re- peal of the bill
 for former Governor Su1zer various state departments, was another wit ness.

Police Think Ehlert Committed Suicide in
 Fit of Melancholia

Suicide is the theory today a11e nounced by the police for the death of Captain Joseph Ehlert, owner of the sloop Democrat, who was found tied fast to a painter-Hne his own boat Wednesday afternoon and who met death by drowning.
 Though Coroner John J. Phelan has announced that he will begin his in quest at 10 o'clock Monday at his of- flee, investigation of Mandus Peter sons movements since last sunday show that his statements are substan- tially correct The only link as yet q1nfnvestigated by Detective George Fox is Peterson's movements on Iues- dsv night when he alleged that with a key given him by the owner he opened and slept on the houseboat. tied to Steeplechase pier. This fact will be looked into today.
 From a further statement made by Peterson at the county jail today it would appear that Capt Ehlert has long brooded over the fact that he had no children.
