NOW RACING CAR THEIR OBJECT
Gotham Police Are ON Trail of Slayer
of Society Whist Expert.

New York. June FL. Authorities
today were searching for the man who
entered the home of Joseph B. FL
well at 3:45 a. m. June IL. or the
driver of the racing car which took
the early morning visitor to the whist
experts home.
The district attorneys office has
established that Elwell was at home at
2:30 a. m. on the day he was slain.
Previously it had been believed Ell
well was the man whom John Insdale,
who lived in a nearby house, saw en-
tering the Elwell home at 3:45.
Insdale said he saw a racing car
stop in front of the house and a man
enter the ElweH home. Authorities
believed the mysterious early morning
visitor would be able to give evidence
regarding the last hours of Elwell's
life and possibly the murder itself.
The fact that Elwell was at home at
$3.50, proved. authorities said. that he
went directly to the house where he
was later murdered, after leaving the
Lewisohn party Friday morning.

is VERY LITTLE CAMPAIGNING

San Francisco. June IA week
from the opening of their national
convention. the Democrats find them
selves as puzzled and beWildered as
the Republicans were at Chicago be-
fore their Embossed" convention met.
The Democrats too are bossless and
as result those here min around,
seeking the answers to a number of
questions, including:
VIII President Wilson ask for the
nomination for a third term?
What is Bryan going to do and will
he be able to wrest control from the
president?
What had the party better do about
the liquor question?
Why did McAdoo retire from the
campaign?
It's Wilson VS.. Bryan.
There are more questions some
Democrats would like answered IL
they could find anyone who knew the
answer. They are chiefly concerned
today. however, about just two men--
Wilson and Bryan--as no one here
has any idea what they have UP their
sleeve in the way of convention
trumps. There is a general DISPOSE
tion amcng the managers of candi-
dates to go pretty slowly until the
appear AS one astute campaign
manager put IT today. they don't want
20 have to take back anything later
they may say now. so they are saying
nothing about anything.
San Francisco will take on its con-
vention clothes this week with the ar
rival of state delegations. the opening
of candidates headquarters and the
addition of municipal decorations.
Democrats who arrived early have put
in most of their time sightseeing and
real campaign activity has been lack
ing.
Decide Contests Friday.
The national committee will sit Fri
day to hear contests. one from Georgia
and probably one from Missouri. The
League of Nations issue is involved in
both these contests. The national
committeemanship of Georgia also
hangs on the outcome of the contest.
Clark Howell. the oldest Democratic
national committeeman in point of
service. may lose his place.
Senator Glass of Virginia is expect
cd to arrive during the week bearing
the draft of a platform said to meet
the presidents views. Glass is slated
to head the resolutions committee. A.
