Remick Will Make
Race for Republican
Senatorial Nomination

Concord, n H., Aug. 1.-(AJ--EX-
planning his action by the claim that
Senators LaFollette and Brookhart
had been accepted as regulars IN the
Republican party, James w. Remlck
of Concord has filed papers as a Re
publican to swell the ranks of the
Republican United States senatorial
candidates at the September prl-
maries against Senator George ii.
Moses and Former Governor Robert
2. Bass.
The move came as surprise, In
asmuch as Judge Remick announced
several months ago that he would
run as an independent candidate in
the November election. At that time
he declared his independence barred
him from a party primary contest.
In announcing his new move, Judge
Remick pointed out that since his
first announcement Robert LaFol-
lette. Jr., his fathers right hand man
in the bolt of 1924, has been nomlnat-
ed for United States senator in a Ike
publican primary and elected, seated
and assigned to committees as he
publican.
Since that time the old guard of
the Senate has recognized the boltlng
Brookhart of 1924 as a Republican
by seeking to seat him as such, and
he has recently been nominated for
the Senate by the Republican party
of Iowa. However, l am neither Will
ing to join the Democratic party for
office nor to be driven out OF the Ike
publican party by youngsters VINO
would exploit it for their personal
advantage.
Long before Governor Wlnant was
born or former Governor Hass had
finished school, | was fighting the
battles of the Republican party in
New Hampshire. Their insidious dis
paragement of my political lndepend-
ence comes from poor grace from
men who bolted the republican
party with me in 1912 and who have
not hesitated to intrigue win Demo
Gratis when to do SO would serve their
personal ambitions. AS reply
wish to announce that l will be
candidate on the. Republican ticket
in the September primaries for nomi-
nation to the office of United States
senator"

To Exhume Bodies
Hall and Mrs. Mills
In Probe of Sayings

New Brunswick, n. j., Aug. 1.-(P)-
New Jersey was preparing today to
clear it's skirts of the imputation that
Jersey justice" Jagged in the first
investigation four years ago of the
murder of the Rev. DR.. Edward w
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills.
State Senator Simpson, chosen by
the governor as special prosecutor fol
the state, said he would closely scru-
tinize the handling of the case in 1922
to see whether anyone was impeding
justice"
AS one of the first steps in the new
investigation of the crime, in connec-
tion with which the clergyman
widow, Mrs. Frances s. Hall, was ar
rested Wednesday at midnight, the
bodies of DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills will
be eXhumed, it was learned yesterday
from supposedly authoritative
source.
Mrs. Hall, who was released Friday
in $4,000 bail, will be called before
an extraordinary grand jury, it was
reported soon after the inquiry gets
under way.
The mass of new evidence" upon
which Prosecutor Bergen of Somerset
county. acted in the midnight arrest
of Mrs. Hall, was pieced together from
the alleged statements of witnesses,
Including Mrs. Jane Gibson. the pig
woman" of the original Investigation;
William Phillips, night Waterman
near the Hall home, and two of the
Han maids.
The story which Prosecutor Bergen
VIII place before the grand jury next
month is based on his belief that Mrs
Hall learned from one of her maids
that Mrs. Mills, choir singer in Dr.
Halls church, would meet the minister
at the Phillips farm; that she was
driven to the scene in an automobile
with at least one man and found the
trysting couple; that quarrel ensued
and someone drew pistol and killed
the rector; that Mrs. Mills started to
run but was shot down and both bod
les were laid out side by side.
The prosecutor has said that he has
secured additional evidence to
strengthen the previous testimony OF
Mrs. Gibson that she was a witness OF
the killings and recognized some of
the participants. Phillips, former
night Waterman at the New Jersey
College for Women, who has asserted
he saw a woman enter the Hall home
after the probable time of the shoot
ing. is being held as material wit
ness,

TINY MISS ELWELL
WINS IN RECORD
RACE TO BOSTON LIGHT

Boston, Aug. 1.-(P)-Miss Mae
Elwell, II year old Revere swimmer,
defeated Eva Morrison Of Pictou, N.
S, in match race to Boston Light
today by one hour and 46 minutes.
Half blinded by the singing salt wa
ter Miss Elwell covered the last mile
or two of the IA mile grind with her
eyes closed, following the swapping
fingers Of Frank Murphy, her pilot
and coach, whenever she strayed
from her course.
The two girls plunged off the War
rem Avenue Bridge at 5.24 A. NJ. and
Miss Elwell left the water by the
light at 11.4S o'clock. Her total time
Of six hours and IA minutes bettered
by more than an hour the women's
record of 1922 established last year
by Irene Hessemius of South BoS-
ton.
Both swimmers finished in good
condition, and Miss Morrison felt
risky enough to start swimming
back after a brief rest. She was
forced from the water after covering
four miles, however. The swimmers
covered three fourths of the distance
with a favoring tide, but at Bug
Light the current swung against
them again. The temperature of the
water varied from SIS degrees in the
upper harbor to So at the light.
Miss Elwell, who stands only feet
10 inches and weighs 125 pounds,
took no nourishment on the entire
swim, but chewed gum from the
start Miss Morrison dined on hot
chocolate off Bug Light.
