Boston, Nov. "a statewide re-

sured today. Colonel William A.
CASTOR, the Democratic candidate.
who was apparently defeated by s.
425 votes by Senator Henry Cauot
Lodge, Republican. carried out his
intention announced yesterday Of d.
recting recount petitions in every
city and town in the hope of upset
ting the result. The Republican
state committee took similar action
to assure representation in the re-
count proceedings and tonight had
filed petitions in more places than
the Democrats.
Colonel Gaston's associates said
they were satisfied that canvass oil
the returns would reduce consider
senator. They were not prepared.
however, they said, to say where the
changes were to be looked for. Re-
publican leaders 81 id they felt SeIa-
tor Lodge would gain more votes
than he would lose in recount.
Under the law. the registrars are
required to conduct the recount in
count, but are permitted to deslg-
nate the days and hours with the
stipulation that the work shall be
conducted without unnecessary de-
lay"
AS the registrars are required to
give notice of the recount to each
candidate having an interest there
in. it will be several days at least
before the canvass begins.
The recount should lot be per-
mitted to delay the sending y city
and town clerks of their original re-

ter's office today. This report un;ier
the law, must be sent within Ten
days after the electioni
The Republican state committee
in a statement tonight recalled that
a statewide recount in 1906 changed
the plurality of Lieutenant Governor
Draper by only 200 votes, and adde d:
The committee deplores the I'M
sportsmanlike attitude of Senator
Lodges opponents in making neces-
sary a needless waste of money and
work on the part of thousands OF
men and women throughout the
state by their demand for a recount.
Mr.. Gaston's supporters, however,
have shown their determination that
a recount shall be made and there
fore the Republican state com it
tee will make it its business to see
that the recount is an honest and
accurate one, and that it shall in
clude every vote cast for Senator in
the whole state, not in any selected
section"

finger PRINTS ON
shirt OF slain HALL
may Detect killer

New Brunswick. n. j., Nov. D.
Finger prints found on the bosom
of the shirt worn by the Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall may picture to
experts one of the principals in the
murder of the rector and his choir
singer, Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills, it be-
came known through an authoritative
source today.
The authorities. some of whom
were in conference today with Albert
Glib, grand jury foreman, while they
did not make known the details of
the discovery of faint smudges on
the shirt, admitted that report by
experts on the finger prints is OK
pected tomorrow. 1t is possible that
the tiny imprints left by fingers may
be one of the most powerful bits of
evidence to be presented before the
grand jury.
After the conference with Mr.
Gibbs, Special Attorney General Mott
announced that the case would not
go before the grand jury until next
week. The special prosecutor. accom-
panied by Colonel Swartzkopf, head
of the state police. and Prosecutor
Beekman OF Somerset county, left
Somerville. where the conference was
held, for Trenton. What turn the
conference led them to abandon plans
for returning to New Brunswick, was
not made known, but the sudden de-
parture for the Office Of the attorney
general, lent weight to reports pre-
valent among observers that Somer
set county officials were opposed to
immediate presentation of the case
to the grand jury.
Detectives working on the case are
again turning their attention to
Charlotte Mills, daughter of the slain
choir singer, who has announced her
intention of calling upon Governor
Edwards. Several of the detectives
are of the opinion that the girl is in
possession of information which she
has not yet divulged. Detective Ma
son expected today to question her
anew, but the absence of Mr.. Mott
caused postponement of his plans.

| Threat of Wet
Party in "a Unless
Big Parties Line up

| Baltimore Md, Nov. 9.-In announc-
ing a meeting of all the state chiefs OF
| his organiza ton at St. Louis on NO
vember 20. William H. Stayton, pres
ident Of the National Association
| Against Prohibition. declared today
| that unless wet" planks are inserted
in the national platforms of both the
Republican and Democratic parties in
the organization, will present indie
pendent candidates for Congress.
The state heads will consider plans
for the next national campaign at the
st. Louis meeting. The organization,
Mr. Stayton said, will participate just
, as actively in politics as does the
Anti-Saloon League.
The National Association Against
Prohibition claims a membership of
more than 400 900 extending to nearly
every state in the Union.
The principal purpose to which the
organization heads would devote their
time in st. Louis, Mr.. Stayton said,
would be to making arrangements 80
that in 1924 we shall run an indepen-
dent wet candidate in every congress
sional district in the United States. I'M
less one or the other of the great po-
litcal parties is running man on a
wet platform in the district"
Mr.. Stayton hoped and believed"
the two major parties would respond
to the peoples wishes as shown on
Tuesday ana will give the people the
relief they demand" But if. he added.
both of the two great parties should
fail to adopt liberal planks, we shall
be forced to become substantially a
third party"

Washington, Nov. 9.-The political

! having been definitely established
i interest turned today on the probable
lineup on the question of modifica-
ton of the prohibition enforcement
; laws. Both the drys and vets were
! claiming victory as result OF

| For the Anti-Saloon League
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
said the vets would not have as
many votes, by 3 at least, in the
! Senate as heretofore, and that THEN
| strength in the House would not
exceed 140. or 73 less than a ma
! jority.
On the other hand, the association
against the Prohibition Amendment
| through G. c. Hinckley, its general
| secretary, claimed gain of so "liber-
all votes in the House. which, it
was asserted, would give actual con-
troll of that BODY to the modifica-
tionists.

Lisermore Falls. Me, Nov. 9-The

TO
RETAIN CONTROL OF
HOUSE BY MARGIN I
ASK TRANSFER OF
SHIPS TO OTHER FLAG
ACCOUNT DRY RULE

Washington, Nov. 3-The Shipping
Board today granted permission to
the United American Line, (The
Hartman ldne) to transfer the reg
istry of the steamships Reliance and
Resolute from the American flag to
the Panama flag.
While the basis of the request was
not made public. it was said unoffi-
cially at the Shipping Board that the
reason assigned was the recent
Daugherty ruling against sale of Ii
quor on vessels flying the Stars and
Stripes
The Resolute, 1929 gross tons, is
scheduled to begin world tour No
vCmbcr IS, and when the Daugherty
ruling was made, there were almost
Immediately So cancellations from
persons who said they did not want
t. take such tour on dry ship.
The Reliance, 1878 gross tons. will
sail February 3 for siXweeks
cruise to Brazil, touching West In
dian and South American ports.
r. II. NJ. Robinson. president of
the United American Line and of the
American Ship & Commerce Corpora
ton, declared today that the appli-
cation for transfer Of the steamers
Rcsolute and Reliance from Ameri-
can to Pan American registry was
due to loss Of trade resultant from
the Daugherty ruling on TIA sale Of
liquor on American ships on the high
seas.
Keen competition of foreign ships
making winter cruises, Mr.. Robinson
said, made it clear that the cruises
of the Resolute and Reliance could
not be carried out successfully I'M
less passengers were offered the
same privileges and service as are
offered on foreign ships.

HEAR ARGUMENTS
ON CONSOLIDATION
OF n. {. RAILROADS

Boston, Nov. 9-Proponents of 9
consolidation of New England rail-
roads into single system and bust
ness men favoring the union of the
New England roads with the great
trunk lines presented their arguments
today at a public hearing before the
Massachusetts branch of the join,
New England railroad committee
which is considering recommends
tons to the federal government as
to the best solution of the railroad
problem in the New England area.
a. A. Raphael, assistant traffic
manager of the New England Paper
and Pulp Traffic Association, urged
consolidation of the roads indie
pendent of the trunk lines, declaring
That the association, which he rep
resented was strongly opposed to
any plan which would result in the
ownership and arrangements Of the
roads passing out OF New England
Placing us in the hands of any
one or all of these trunk systems on
whose lines are located strong COM
pctltors of New England industries
Will undoubtedly result in the loss
OF our differential rates to the West. =
he said. "These rates have been of
unreasonable benefit to New Eng.
land industries in meeting the com
petition of manufa cturers of New
York state and other adjacent states
IN the markets west of Buffalo and
PittSburg"
Professor w. j. Cunningham OF
Harvard University, who declared in
favor of consolidation with trunk
lines said it had been shown that a
freight rate increase Of So per cent
would be necessary if New England
roads were to pay dividend of G
per cent. He said he thought it not
altogether busnesslike to base rates
on physical valuations of railroads
and added that in this connection the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
mad made unproductive expenditures
Of s150,oO0,000 which he termed IAN
unjustifiable burden on those paying
freight rates"
Charles A. Andrews formerly
president of the Associated Indus
tr1es of Massachusetts, said the most
important element governing the So
luton of the New England railroad
problem was the question of rates
and argued that lower rates could
only be obtained by linking the lines
here with the trunk systems. He in
dlcated it was only a matter Of time
before the federal government would
find it necessary to take over the
New England roads unless some
means was found to place the car
rlers on paying basis.
With operating expenses lower in
other sections of the country, Mr.
Andrews argued that it would be good
policy for the New England roads to
be linked up with some great trunk
line. so that this section would de.
rive the benefit of it's connection with
the larger unit.
