somerville, N. J., Aug. 27. Up
Uferd David, chief of Nliddlesex
county detectives today declared no
calling card of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall bearing fingerprints
was turned over to the Middlesex
county prosecutors office at the
time of the initial investigation into
the staying of the Rev Hall and
his choir singer. Mrs. Eleanor
Mills, four years ago.
At the hearing yesterday, Special
Prosecutor Simpson asserted the
prosecution had in its possession
calling card of the clergyman which
bore the fingerprints of Stevens, and
which was found at the foot of the
slain man. The card was supposed
to have been lost four years ago.
Il have no knowledge of such
card" said David when asked about
the new evidence which Simpson
brought forward.
IF there was such card ii never
came to my notice and consequently
could not have been put under glass
which would have been important

USE OF SLEUTHS
New Hampshire Executive
Probes Alleged Primary Inquiry

Concord, n. H.. Aug. 81 up -
Governor John G. Winant today
ordered Attorney General Jeremy
Waldron to investigate the report
ed inquiry into New Hampshire
primary campaign expenditure by
10 detectives working for a ma
tpnal non-partisan organization.
Suspicion that the inquiry was not
the disinterested investigation it
was at first represented to be was
voiced by the governor in a state
ment to the Associated Press.
Governor Winant said that Will
liam Barbour, reported head OF the
group of detectives operating for
the William j. Burns detective
agency, had called upon him and
had told him that he was investi-
eating prohibition conditions. The
governor declared that If Barbour
was in reality investigating cam
paign expenditures he had been
deceived.
In that event it would be sfair to
assume. the governor explained.
that the investigation was really
an under-cover inquiry to aid in-
dividual candidates. He did not
propose, he concluded, to tolerate
such measures in New Hampshire.

DANIELS STILL AT LARGE
Man Who Escaped from Meriden
Police Station Eludes Authorities
in Spite of Net Spread for Him.

Garland W. (Flash) Daniels of
this city. who escaped Wednesday
night from the Meriden police sta
ton, has disappeared completely.
Despite the fact that a net has been
spread throughout the state, 10
trace of the elusive young man has
been found.
The search, which has lasted a
day and a half, has given up not the
most mcager clue as to his where
abouts. In spite of the fact that
many persons are inclined to believe
to the contrary, Meriden police Off
Gals are of the opinion that the
young man escaped without help
from the outside.
The suave southern youth who
made such an excellent impression
on the police authorities that he was
allowed the freedom of the cellroom
corridor, instead of being locked up
in one of the cells, and who repaid
his captors by jimmying two heavy
doors and making bolt for free
dom, has apparently covered his
trail thoroughly.
He was charged with theft OF an
automobile in Raleigh, n. c., and
he was to have been extradited to
that city, proceedings for which
were to have been started yester-
day,

London, Aug. 27 LPl - A cor
oner's inquest opened today into
the death of Peggy Scott, an ac-
tress, 27 years old, who was found
dead in her London fiat on We'd

follows:

ments, how wonderful no one will
ever know. but with his death my
last bit of courage has flown. Xxx Y

Father Jehlicka said in Analysing
the crdx of Slovakia's political
troubles.
Father Jehlicka's public utter
ances against the ruling powers of
his homeland has required his alb
sence from the country for the past
six years and even in Poland few
have the courage to speak to him
openly, he said.
The death OF Cardinal MERCER was
a severe blow TO Sovakia,- the priest
said this afternoon. Father Jehlicka
had personally laid the case of his
countrymen before the distinguished
cardinal and statesman and while
the task of collecting data for pres
entation at Geneva was being COM
plcted, Cardinal MERCER died.
Poland, situated between Russia
and Germany two enemy countries
and with unfriendly Czechs to the
south is in a poor strategic position
to defend itself against the REDS"
unless Sloyallia, freed from the
Czechs, affords a gateway for
friendly Hungary to aid and for
to pass through, Father
Jehlicka said. This condition makes
the Sloyakian situation of particular
interest to Poland, he pointed out.
Father Jchlicka came to the
United States to attend the Euchar-
istic convention and lie will return
to Poland next month.
