HE HAMILTON CASE
AT A STAND STILL.
(By Max Abernethy.)

(By Max Abernethy)
Raleigh, Jan. Coroner J. E.
Owens jury investigating the killing
of r. H. Hamilton, Seaboard section
foreman on the night of December
26, threw up its hands yesterday
without placing the blame
The jury, after examination Of
scores of witnesses, decided that the
man came tc his death as the resul.
of two pistol shots fired by person or
persons unknown to the officers, but
adds that from the evidence it is ap-
parent that Miss Irene Guess, COM
panion with Hamilton on the night
of the homicide, has not told all that
she knows about the murder. The
jurymen also think that probably
another witness which testified fail
ed to tell all about the tragedy.
Solicitor H. e. Norris, following
the jury's decision and verdict, an
nounced that he would ask the grand
jury to make sweeping investiga-
tion of the case in the hope that a
true bill of indictment will be return
ed.
Hamilton was killed, according to
Miss Guess, by one of two negroes
they passed, she testifying that the
negroes fred from the right-hand side
of the road just as they passed in
Hamilton's automobile.

CALL CONGRESS
NOVEMBER 20.
Pres. Harding Expects to
Issue the Summons in a
Few Days
PARTY LEADERS
FAVOR THE PLAN
It Is Hoped To Advance
Legislation For Regu-
lar Session

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 7.--Presi-
dent Harding expects to issue call
Thursday or Friday for special ses-
sion Of Congress convenng Nov. 20,
il was announced to-day at the White
House.
1t was said that although the pres
ident was not irrevocabIy committed
to the proposal for the special ses-
sion, which has generally been expect
ed by congressional leaders, only an
eleventh hour change of mind would
prevent him from issuing the call.
The plan for special session after
the election has received the general
endorsement of Senate and House
leaders. 1t is understood the presi-
dent feels that by meeting at least
two weeks In advance of the regular
session, the legislative program can be
so advanced as to enable Congress to
clean up its slate by the time the
regular session ends next March A. The
feeling among administrative officials
has been that unless an earlier start
is made than would be possible with
Congress meeting the first Monday in
December, an extra session undoubted-
ly would be necessary after next
March 4.

Cloudy weather light rain
came to-day to ad Z further dampen-

already was very = h depressed. vot-
ers Of Vermont . had felt little en-
thusiasm over p ie<nial selection Of
their officers % therefore, still fur
ther deferred = / going to the polls;
and correspon4ingly lessened total
vote was anticipated. Early reports in
dicated that both city and small town
voting was seriously affected by the
adverse weather conditions Of the early
part of the day.

of the state at 10 a. m. and in the cit
les and larger towns at 6 a. m. The

In state Sand congressional elec-
tions the sure Republican Majority was
not expected to be overturned in any
case, albeit there was likelihood of the
Republican Majority in the first dis
trict congressional election being cut
into because of the spirited drive by
the Democratic candidate, James f.
Kennedy, on the wet side of the liz
uor question. Democratic predictions
on the west side had it that Kennedy
would be elected over Fleetwood, Re-
publican, the claim being made that
Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, BEN.
nington and Rutland counties would
90 for the awet' candidate. Repuhli-
cans, however, expressed the conviction
that the district would stay Republi-
can.

of interest. Supporters of George G.
Grandfeld appeared outside the voting
places in the twenty cities and towns
Of the county with Grandfield "stick
ersr to be attached totthe ballot. n.
J Slayton was the regular nominee OF

Republican was ruled out by the coun
tv clerk as infringing on a title al
ready in use. The outcome of the elec-
tion promised to be close inasmuch as
the Democratic candidate. George r,
Lackey, was expected to poll heavy
vote.
The vote in Barre was light up to
early afternoon, with indications that
not much more than half of the 3.037
votes would be cast.
