two officials relative TO the governors s
alleged extravaganza in running the
executive mansion. Until he has re-
ceived copies of the correspondence, or
has been refused them. the governor
said he will make no comment on the
charges.
The governor did say. however, that
he invites a thorough investigation
of the charges by a committee from
any civic organization in the State.
The Week. a political newspaper pub
lished here. last Saturday, carried a
copy of Attorney General Crabbe's let
ter to State Auditor Tracy severely
criticising expenditures made by the
governor for furnishings of the ex-
ecutive mansion and also of bills for
food.
Gov. Donahey would not comment

K|DNAP CANDIDATE
FOR CHURCH HEAD
Three Men Shear Priest.
Who Seeks Election as
Patriarch of Sect.
BY JUNIUS Ii. WOOD.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
CONSTANTINOPLE July 13.-The
bitterness Of the campaign preceding
the election of a patriarch of the
worlds Orthodox Catholic churches
caused the kidnapping Saturday night
of Mgr. Germanos, one of the
leading metropolitans eligible for the
high office.
Three men, posing as secret police,
called at Germanos' home about IL
pm. and invited him to enter their
automobile, explaining that the chief
of police wanted to question him.
Knowing the ability OF the police to
disqualify any candidate who was sus-
pected of not being a loyal Turkish
citizen, Germa nos complied with alac-
rity.
Hacked on Beard.
The automobile stopped in the rear
of a crowded Summer garden ad-
joining a leading hotel and the three
hosts, using dull knike, hacked off
Germanos' flowing beard and thick
mustache. Uusing the same crude
instrument they then divested his head
of its long curls leaving numerous
gashes in the scalp. The operation was
performed to the strains of a nearby
Hawaiian orchestra. which drowned
out the victims protests.
The desperadoes forced the priest
to descend from the car and return
home afoot. However. they kept his
high black rimless hat, saying they
intended to show it 10 their employer
as proof that the job had been com
pleted.
Rivalry Believed Cause.
The only clue in the hands of the
police is a remark made by one of the
ktdnapers, indicating that the rivalry
between Germanos and another met
ropolitan prompted the deed.
The election of a successor to for
mer Patriarch Constantine. who was
deported to Greece last January, is
being held today. About 20 local met
ropolitans will choose the head of the
entire Orthodox Catholic Church of
the world. The new patriarch is re.
quired TO be a loyal Turkish citizen
The police already have excluded sew
eral liberals who were suspected of
lacking that qualification.

Fire was discovered on the boat
