! That Elwell was killed aftep &
struggle in his reception room has
been proved by new evidence which
mas been slow In coming to the sur
face. The condition Of the pajauas
he wore shows that he was roughly
handled by a man who was his su-.
perior in strength, and who slammed
him down into his chair
The back OF the coat OF the pa
jamas. which is OF mercerized ak.
shows a rent Of about four inches in
length. The front OF the coat, whsn'
the body was found, was partly, open.
The appearance OF the suit indicates
that Elwell was grabbed by the front
or the coat in manner that
wrenched the buttons from their.
mold in the frogs and that the vio.
lence OF the action tore the fralI gar.
ment in the back. ~
While the whist expert. temporarily
cowed, sat back in his chair the letter
from Trainer Lloyd Gentry he had
started to read falling to the moor his
visitor It is thought, abused him
orally and told h.,n what he had come
for. II may be that Elwell preclpl-
tated the shot by attempting to rise.
MRS. LARSEN SURE PAJAMAs
WE'RE NOT TORN.
Mrs. Marie Larsen, Elwells house
keeper told the District Attorney that
Elwell had worn the pajamas on two
occasions, once on the morning. he
was slain and on the night before.
"Why,' she told the investigators.
my job wouldn't have lasted i've
minutes II l had laid out torn pair
OF pajamas. He was too fastidious TO
have worn them, and l know that
thero wasn't a tear or any blemlsh on
the suit that / laid out for him"
The police went further and had a
shirt goods expert examine the gar
ment lie said that there was mo
doubt that the garment had been rent
in struggle.
The District Attorney is investi-
eating another lead which involves
Elwel's stock transactions. II Is
said that Elwell was the manager Tor
group OF men in a pool which was
formed on certain stock. Eiwell
had a big interest in the pool liIn-
self, and 1t is said was accused OF
double crossing the men for whom he
was worKing
The stock in which the pool was
formed Is said TO have been Anyeri-

5000 shares. ElYell is said to have

Especial Despatch to The Evening WORLDLY
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Forget
partisan politics for a spell-the
election is four and half months in
the future--and come out into the
green Of the country and tramp for
four miles over the picturesque fair
ways Of Chevy Chase golf course
with Warren G. Harding, the Re-
publican candidate for President.
Every one has seen in campaign
Autographs, in the movies and
in the newspapers and mag
azines, the Ohio Senator pictured
with serious, statesmanlike features,
with the regulation sartorial equip
rhent OF a Senator, Prince Albert
coat. boiled shirt and bow tie. and
with big eyes set far apart that
seemed to follow you about like the
cowboys gun in a famous poster.
But the Harding face Of the famil-
lar photo gives you only faint and
unconvincing glimpse Of the person
ality Of Harding the man. Away
from the Senate with its traditions
of pose, camoufage and acrimony,
in the less conventional environment
and setting Of the golf course, you
get the genuine closeup OF the NOM

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-In
one respect the pre-convention aspect
in San Frahcisco is similar to that
which prevailed in Chicago on the
eve OF the Republican Convention?
The minds OF the men who hope to
control the Democratic Convention
are bent, as were the minds OF the
men who ultimately controlled the
Chicago Convention, in one direction
-eliminationward, soto speak.
The controlling forces Of the Chi
cago convention laid advance plans
to eliminate Gen. Wood. The con-
trolling forces Of the San Francisco
convention have laid no plans to
eliminate any candidate for the
nomination, but they are pretty well
agreed that the time has come to
eliminate william Jennings Bryan
as controlling or disturbing factor
in the Democratic Party.
1t Is realized that Mr.. Bryan Is
coming out here with a we'll defined
idea of controlling tho convention
and that Mr.. Bryan Is an extremely
astute politician. learned in the ways
OF conventions and fully conversant
with his rights as a delegate and
assured OF q considerable measure OF
support On the floor.
oRYS MAY CONTROL ENOUGH
TO BLOCK ACTION.
The leaders who are in favor OF
committing the convention TO the
policy Of amending the Volstead Pro-
mbition Enforcement Act to the ex-
tent Of allowing the States to make
their own regulations as to the. al
coholic content OF beer and wine are
learning that there will be numerous
delegates who are profoundly dry.
Many Of these dry delegates-for
instance, those from New York--are
bound by the unit rule. On. the other
hand many wet delegates, a few
from Iowa for instance. are also
bound by the unit rule. If the con-
ventdon gets into fight on the wet
and dry question-and the indications
are that the fight viii be spectacular
and bitter unless William Jennings
Bryan is put on the casualty list
