 TRIBUTE TO DEAD Impressive Funeral Services for !!sspV ssa nator Brandesee au01
 BIG CHURCH IS CROWDED
Many of The Stores And Factories Of The Whaling City Are Closed As Testimonial of Esteem--Many Distinguished Personages Attend.

New London, Oct. 17. - From Washington, capital of the nation, whence he was firgt sent 22 years ago. U. S. Senator Frank B. Bran degee, this city's most illustrious son, returned home today, Cold and still in self effacement from the worries of depleted finances, the body of Senator Brandegee rested in a private car attached to the Fed eral Express which crept from the early morning murk of the west ward into the light of the Union railroad station here at o'clock. In the cold and still dawn, brake men uncoupled the car, and a sec- ond car carrying United States senators and representatives and of- flcial delegation of the state of Con- necticut and personal friends of the late statesman, and placed them upon a siding. And there for three hours, attended on the inside by leaders of the nation with whom he had served, and guarded on the out side by a squad of police officers who had watched his rise with that peculiar pride with which people always view the success of one of their townsmen, Senator Brandegee remained.
 All Is Changed
 The campaign is at its height, but Senator Brandegee had not come home to campaign. His campaign ing days are over. The big white house on Hampstead street was not open awaiting him. Andrew and Margaret Bradley, his aged colored servants, who had served him so faithfully and long, were not, as they have been upon the occasion of former homecomings, standing on the spacious veranda watching for him. Now everything was changed. Frank Brandegee came home to take his place among the city's noblest children who have crossed over. and in that group are many brilliant statesmen, warriors, pio- neers and statesmen. He came home to sleep in the soil of his be- loved city. and senators and con- gressmen, the governor of the state. (Continued on Page Four)

NO PAPER BALLOTS
Voting Machines to Be Used Next Month in Determining Preference of Electors.

II has been definitely settled that voting machines will be used in the coming election and the selectmen and registrars are no longer con- fronted with the possibility of using the old Australian ballot.
 It was thought for time that the eight parties having petitions fin the field would secure the necessary number of signers and since there are only seven party levers on the machines used here, it would neces- sitate the use of the Australian printed ballot, ...
 Had it been necessary to go back to the old system of voting, a count of the ballot within several hours offer the close of the polls would have been out of the question. Hiring Of many more workers would have probably been necessary and increased expense would result.

Hart Will Not Comment

Chief Hart declined to comment this afternoon when the foregoing dispatch was read to him particu- larly with reference to the state- ment that 'the weapons and loot turned over to Chief Hart are said to have been found in rear room of the advertising agency of which Shean was the head" Chief Hart's only statement was: T don't say so."
 The house in South Hadley Cen- ter. Mass, is described as being located on a corner property which commanded a view of the approach from several directions. On its roof is a cupola where an observer could sit unseen but seeing and watch all who drew near. If the gang of counterfeiters were sufficiently des- perate, they could send storm of bullets from the cupola of their stronghold was besieged..
 Positively Identifies Chapman
 The authorities have learned that the minister from whom Chapman and his gang tried to buy the prop erty has positively identified Chap man as one of the men who dis cussed the sale with him. He is equally as sure that the other man was George Anderson, like Chap man, refugee from Atlanta prison and who is supposed to have been associated with Chapman in the counterfeiting enterprise. It was agreed that the men could buy the place for s15,0OO and they deposited a certified check for $5,o0O to take an option on it.
 Positive Identification of Chapman has also been made by witnesses and clerks in restaurants which he pa tronized. It is said that in one West Springfield restaurant where he frequently ate, he made a prac- tice of sitting in certain seat facing the door so that he would have the entrance covered at all times.
 Waiter F. shean, Chapman's al- legged accomplice in the raid on the Davidson 6s Leventhal safes, is a reticent prisoner in the Hartford county jail. It is said he talks freely about Chapman and Ander- son but is silent regarding his own activities. He has admitted that he was armed when he went from his automobile to the department store on the first trip, claiming that Chapman put a gun into his hand and said: Use it if you have to-"
 May Have Had Confederates.
 Efforts of the police are now bent toward definitely establishing whether Chapman and Shean came here unaccompanied Sunday morn- ing, or were accompanied by another man and woman, as one theory Of the affair tends to show.
 An agent of the department ot justice visited Meriden yesterday. going to the Old Colony inn where Chapman and Shean put up last Sat- urday night, prior to leaving there early Sunday morning for this city. The agent spent considerable time questioning the proprietress of the inn and employees regarding the dress of the two men when they ar rived there, and their actions. Other hotels in Meriden were visited to learn if a man and woman had stopped there Saturday night, the theory being that they had stopped at another hotel and joined Chap man and Shean for the trip here.
 Chief Hart said that as yet no word has been received from tsle- gram he sent yesterday to another

Butler Explains That This Will Bring Total Of Three Million Dol
 lars For Their "Vig-
 orous Campaign"
This Vast Sum Is Modest 2 Compared With Expen- ditures in Other EIec-
 tions, Witness Tells Con-
 mittee.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The republican national campaign organization in- tends, if possible to collect s1,300,- 100 more to carry on its work be- tween now and election day, William NJ. Butler, chairman of the republi- can national committee, testified to- day before the senate committee in- vestigating campaign funds.
 Modest By Comparison
 This sum would make up the sS,- 000,000 budget which the republi- can campaign committee decided at the outset of the campaign would be necessary for the conduct of what Butler denominated as a Vigorous campaign"
 'That is a modest amount In view of expenditures that have been made heretofore" President ,Coolidge's field marshal told the committee. Chairman Borah inquired as to the uses to which the funds had been put and MT. Butler said it was used by the various bureaus within the organization.
 Are there any organizations which are raising money and ex- pending it for the republican ticker, other than your own organizationV' asked Senator Borah.
 None that am aware of, ex- cept the different state organiza- tions," Butler replied.
 Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar kansas. took over the examination.
 Willing to Take Orders.
 Are you the sole authority when fl comes to the question of what shall or shall not be done with the funds raised?" he asked.
 That's difficult question to arl- swer." Butler replied.
 "r take the advice of other peo- pie" he added.
 But you are the final author- ity7" pursued Senator Caraway.
 You can answer that yes or mo-"
 "Yes. that's right" the national chairman said. When you made the estimate at the start of the campaign did you decide how much was to be spent. on publicity"
 "Yes."
 T noticed in your budget that there was approximately s36,ooo al- lotted for the college clubs and only s5,oOo for the farmers"
 T think there was some mistake there. don't think that's right" Well. those are the figures of your treasurer"
 Among Colored People.
 "I noticed an allotment of $5o,- 0o0 for work among colored people. Whats the nature of that work?" They have their headquarters and speakers and correspondence. Then they have people coming to see them"
 'I assume from your answer that the expenses of those coming to see them are paid"
 Are there any items of expense not disclosed in the statement of your treasurer" Senator Caraway continued.
 'I think not"
 "As to the expense for publicity, does that include boiler plate?'" "A good deal of it."
 And canned editorials""
 Mir. Butler seemed nonplussed and the senator explained.
 You get newspapers to p-int edi- torials got out by the epu5lirsn or Eanization without their disclosing their source"
 T don't know about that" the witness said.
