REID RUNS
THIRD WITH
CLOSE RACE
Indications Now Are That
Shepard Will Be in
Collector Race
w EIR HOLDS LEAD
Victory in Today's Count To
Mean Recount of All
COunty's Vote

With Is precincts recounted at 2 y.
m. today, by Judge NJ. w. Conkling,
Arthur Shepard was leading Mont J.
Reid for second place in the tax col
lector $ race by one vote. Throughout
this morning and yesterday afternoon,
the lead shifted from Reid to Shepadr
and back again several times, though
never by more than three votes. With
eight more precincts to count under
the terms of Shepard s claim for a re-
count, it is believed that the remain
ing precincts will be completed by to-
night. If Shepard continues in the
lead, Mont j. Reid and F. G. Weir, the
two other candidates, will demand re-
count of the other % precincts in the
county not specified by Shepard in his
charges of irregularity and misconduct
in the count of the vote by the super
visors. 1t is expected that the entire
vote for the tax collector will be re-
counted and thus eliminate any further
claims of the candidates.
The recounting is under the direct
supervision of Judge Conkling, assist
ed by John M. Kepley, Mrs. Eleanor
De Hay, Mrs. j. f. Oldham, Miss Ma
dine Strickler. James w. Glassford,
II. Il. Welsh and Hubert Collins, attor-
neys for the three candidates, also as
sisted, Messrs. WeiK, Reid and Shepard
were in attendance but take no active
part in the recounting
In several instances the actual vote
did not agree with the official tally
sheets. The variations have been in
favor of Shepard enough that he has
gained three votes. putting him one
ahead of Mr. Reid. 1t is not expected
that the contest will effect Mr.. Weir as
he has u lead of over 30 votes over the
other two men.
The race has proven the closest IN
the history of the county. 1t will be
possibly several days until the entire
vote of the county is recounted and
the final result known.

Mystery Building Figures
in Investigation Of
Church Murder
United Press Leased Wire

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Sept. 20
Letters discovered in clothing worn
bv the Rev. Edward Hall, Episcopal
clergyman, found slain beside the BODY
of Mrs. James Mills, form clues that
may lead to solution of the tragedy
authorities announced today.
County Prosecutor Beekman admitted
the letters had been found and declared
that to "make them public would de
feat the ends of justice. y
Interest suddenly switched more in
tensely back to the "murder farm -
the place where the bodies were found
when l.. 7. Ruck, an automobile
driver, told prosecutors he had seen th'
Rev. Hall S car in front of the deserted
but fully furnished mystery house onS
night last August.
A telephone in working order was
also found in the house.
1t is now believed that this building
may have been used by DIR. Hall ano
Mrs. Mills for meetings at times whei
they were understood to have gone tt
the Parker home for the aged, not fal
from the scene of the murder.
Examination of the farm house wa
carried on in secret, detectives enter
ing through rear window. Officer
also beat through the grass and bushes
seeking signs of an encounter.
Mrs. Mills whereabouts on the fata
night have now been traced up to 7:4'
p. m, when it was learned she mad
a telephone appointment with DIR. Hal
to meet him at the church few minute
later.
A fifth witness living near the farm
has been found who says he heard shot
about midnight This leads to partia
abandonment of the theory that tn
crime might have been committed i

NAV be avoided shone from Paris
today where preliminary peace

Greece started to re-organize her
routed armies.
