Fugitive Surrounded Last - Night By Force of 150
 Armed Men-AutO Stolen
 in ks erby Recovered.
Warner. N. H., Oct. 22.- The convicts Suvcrs and Bassett, who escaped from Sing Sing prison last Saturday, were cap turcd today in the woods here.

Warner. N. H.. Oct. 7ss---A stretch of wild. sparseIy settled country be- ginning with the woods two miles from this village was the scene to- day of a stern game of hide and seek between ( sherifrs posse and two men believed to be George Stivers and Marcus Bassett. who esca ped from Sing Sing prison Saturday night.
 While part of the posse, composed of deputy sheriffs. policemen from Concord and residents of this town searched the woods. others guarded possible avenues of escape. There were abouN10o men in the searching party, armed with shotguns and rifles.
 Escape Posse's shots Both the supposed convicts were seen in the woods last night and shots were fired at them but they lodged out of sight apparently un- wounded. Later they were refused food at two farm houses near the edge of the woods and then re-entered the forest. Guards then were posted to prevent their escape until the search was resumed at daylight.
 The first entry into the woods was made when the mems gasoline sup ply becam me exhausted and they aban- doned tn automobile that had been stolen from a Concord undertaken on Tuesday.
 Conn. Car Recovered.
 The theory that the men were Stiv- CTS and Bassett was strengthened by the fact that another automobile in which was a robe taken from the car that had been stolen at Concord. was abandoned near Kenniker on Tues day night, supposedly by them, and bore a Connecticut number plate. The plate was stolen from the car of William McCabe, of Derby, Conn.,. last Sunday by two men thought to be the escaped convicts, who had held up McCabe and a companion.
 15O Men in Posse.
 Sheriff worster's reports from his assistants at g a. m. today showed that nothing had been seen of the hunted men since they called about s:3O last night at the home of Carl Jewell in Warner and obtained food. The sheriff said he would have at least 150 men in the searching party.
 Warden Lawes of Sing Sing. accom- panied by three keebers, arrived here this morning to assist in the hunt.
