NEW BRUNSWICK. y. J.. Nov.
e.-(By A. P.)-Finger prints found
on the bosom of the shirt worn by
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall may
picture to experts one of the prin-
cipals in the murder of the rector
and choir singer. Mrs. Eleanor r.

authoritative source today.
The authorities, some OF whom
were in conference today with Al
bert Glib, grand jury foreman,
while they did not make known de-
tails Of the discovery Of faint
smudges on the shirt, admitted that
a report by experts on the finger
prints is expected tomorrow 1t is
possible that the tiny imrrints left
by fingers may be one of the most
powerful bits OF evidence to be pre-
scented before the grand jury.
After the conference with Mr..
Gibbs, Special Dep. Atty Gen. Mott
announced that the case would not
go before the grand jury until next
week. The special prosecutor. &C
companied by Col. Swartzkopf, head
Of the state police, and Pros. Beck

vile, where the conference was held,
for Trenton. What turn in the con-
ference led them to abandon plans
for returning TO New Brunswick

PREPARING FOR
CONGRESS FIGHT
Each Faction Claims Tuesdays
Election Was Victory for
Its Cause.
HEADS EXPRESS VIEWS
Wheeler Sees Prohibition Ma
jority in Both Houses
Hinckley Pleased.

WASHINGTON, Nov S,-(By A.
P)-The political complexion of the
next congress, having been definitely
established. interest turned today on
the probable lineup on the question
OF mobilization of the prohibition
enforcement laws. Both the "drys"
and vets" were claiming a victory
as the result Of Tuesdays election.
For the anti-saloon league, Wayne
b. Wheeler. general counsel. said
the "wets" would not have as many
votes by three. at least. in the SEN
ate as heretofore and that their
strength in the house would not
exceed 40, or rs less than ma
Jority.
On the other hand, the Association
Against the Prohibition Act, through
G.. c. Hinckley, its general secretary.
claimed a gain of so liberal voters
in the house, which. it was asserted.
would give actual control of that
body TO the modifcationists
The pronounced increase in the
wet membership, says Mr.. HinCk-
ley's statement, renders highly pro-
bable the passage of liberal legisla-
tion in the next session of congress
that viii strike the first blow at the
more stringent provisions of the
Nolstead act.
WET" Heads Committee.
Involved in this view is a can
sideratiOn OF the change in the
leadership of the powerful COM
mittee in the house. The defeat of
Andrw J. Volstead of Minnesota. re-
moves the author of the prohibition
enforcement act from the chair
manship of the house judiciary COM
mittee, giving the place over TO Rep
Graham Of Pennsylvania, an avowed
wet.
The passing Of Mondell leaves
the majority leadership on the floor
either TO Rep. Longsworth of Ohio
or Rep Mann of Illinois. both re-
elected and both having been in
dorsed by the association because
of their attitude on the prohibition
issue"
Mr.. Hinckley said the house lead
ership would be in the hands Of a
liberal" and that this might be ex-
pected TO influence materially the
vote on any further liberal legis-
lation. Also. he was of the opinion
ina the results in Tuesdays election
would have its effect on members.
VINO hitherto have RETAINED from
voting on the enforcement question.
Like Beer Foam"
Mr.. Wheeler in his statement. de-
clared that the statements of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment of a gain of so votes in
the next house was like the foam
