1t is easy enough for any cand1aate

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-The politi-
cal atmosphere today wal palpitating
with challenges, denials, claims,
counter claims, interpretations, reser-
vations and statements of lifelong
republicans who have decided to turn
democratic and life long democrats
vice versa.
Governor Cox has been promised
a reward by Senator Harding If he
can point out single word of in
consistency or any indication OF
change of position in his various
speeches regarding the league of
nations Incidentally, Senator Hard
ing opens the competition to all
Americans.
Elihu Root has received from Gov
ernor Cox, seconded by Franklin d.
Roosevelt, cordial invitation to
Join the Ananias club for his asser-
ton in his speech at Carnegie hall
Tuesday night; that Mr.. Cox declared
that he will 'fnsist upon the treaty

Root would reject the invitation.

national committee, returned from

the democrats only the "solid SOUTH"

every state west of the Mississippi
with the exception of Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas. He even pre-
diets the possibility of the democrats
losing Tennessee and North Carolina.
Chairman White, OF the democratic

comparing them with similar fore
casts, made by Chairman Wilcox
who ran Hughes campaign in 1916.

DENTON CASE
STILL MYSTERY
Mrs. Peete's Alleged Statement That
Man Was Slain by Friends Of
Spanish Woman, is Re-
pudiated.

1United Press Leased Wire Servise.]
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Oct. I'll
The murder of Jacob. c. Denton,
wealthy mine broker, was enveloped
in further mystery today by repudia-
ton by Mrs. r. G. Peete, of an al
legged statement that Denton was
slain by friends of a Spanish wo-
man." following a quarrel. The state
ment attributed to Mrs. Peete said
Denton was choked to death, his body
hidden away in a cellar room of his
home here, and the room sealed with
cement.
The body was found several weeks
later.
Mrs. Peete, an old friend of Den
toms, was said to have repudiated the
alleged statement in conference with
DEPUTIES from the district attorneys
office.
Mrs. Peete, it was learned, claimed
the shooting in the alleged statement,
was inferred by the detective with
whom she talked.
A coroner's surgeon was to continue
today an examination of Denton's
body.
No Bullet In Body.
LOS Al. EELES, Calf, Oct. I'll
Failing to find bullet in the body Of
Jacob c. Denton, autopsy surgeons
today were still mystified as to the
real manner in which the wealthy
mining man came to his death about
June 2. An x-ray examination Of
Denton's body last night revealed that
his neck had been broken. A small
perforation of the flesh of his neck,
lust back of the left ear and directly
in line with the fractured vertebrae
was believed by autopsy surgeons to
have been possible bullet wound.
DIR. A. F. Wagner, who performed
the autopsy on Denton's body yester-
day after it was removed from a bur
ial vault in a local cemetery, declared
he was not prepared to state that
death was caused by the broken neck.
He advanced the belief that the frac-
ture might have resulted from the
body having been dragged down
stairs to the basement, where it was
found buried.
While investigators were today
loath to give up the belief that Den
ton was first shot and then strangled.
the failure to find a bullet lodged in
the body, cast doubt on that theory.
Discovery of bullet hole in the shirt
worn by the dead man, yesterday.
was regarded as definite proof that
he had been shot in the abdomen.
