FOURTH DISTRICT
DEMOCRATSSTAY
|NPARTY'S RANKS
But Republicans Waiver Due
to Stephenson Scandal
and Reed Probe.
By Roscoe Il. Fleming
Times staff CorresDOndent

BATESVILLE, Ind, Oct. 26.-
Democrats in this Democratic
stronghold, the Fourth district, are
sticking solidly to their party.
Republicans are not. A decided
drift away from the party standard
district, especially since the revela-
lions of the Stephenson investiga-
ton and those of the Reed commit
tee.
Some estimates of this drift are
as low as 10 per cent, others as high
as 25 per cent. 1t is evident, how
ever, and it is increasing. Particu-
larly since the Reed investigation
clinched the fact that the Ku-Klux
Klan had favored Senators Watson
and Robertson last spring in the pri-
mary, and apparently is still favor
able to them, has this been true. The
Stephenson investigation, however,
which revealed so many leads" back
into the Republican State organiza-
ton. first began to repeal indepen-
dent Republicans from their present
party orgapization.
In a score Of conversations, with
men on the street''-farmers, rail
readers, small business men and
others who have the plain citizens
view of the situation. rather than
that of partisan leaders on each side,
this tendency was established. The
survey covered half dozen sections
Of the Fourth district.

Partisan and organization Repub-
licans are putting their heads down
and trudging blindly through the
Republican party mess. toward cleo

back from "Steve" into the Repub-

This had its effect, but it must
be admitted that there are many
persons in southeastern Indiana to
whom this election is Just an cleo
ton. They have been more con-
cerned with personal affairs than
with politics. The writer rode from
Indianapolis to this town and heard

seems little doubt that he can do

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
 INTERFERE IN CASE
New Jersey Executive to Ignore Protest in Hall
 Mills Prosecution

Seagirt, N. J., Aug. IS P(-Gov- ernor Moore does not intend to give any recognition to the resolution passed by the New Brunswick board of trade yesterday calling upon the executive to end the "unethical and nasty" manner in which Special Prosecutor Alexander Simpson is conducting the reopened investiga- tion into the four-year- Hall-Mills murder mystery.
 The governor said he was decid- edly satisfied with the way Simpson is handling the case. He added that the resolution of the New Brunswick board was unwarranted in the face of the new facts uncovered in the murder investigation,
 T don't care anything about res- olutions," the governor declared. What I want to see is an end to the Hall-Mills murder mystery"
 He said that he has not yet re- ceived the resolution, but that he will not pay any attention to it when it does reach him. The governor was interviewed at Seagirt.

 IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Rund, Paquin and Theide Have Chance But Are on Danger
 List

Reports of the condition of Frank Rund, John Paquin and Raymond Theide, employees of Landers, Frary & Clark, who were scalded when a flee inch steam pipe which they had repaired, burst late Monday night, indicated this afternoon that the men have a chance for recov- cry. although they are still listed as critical at New Britain General hospital. Rund, foreman of the plumbing crew at the factory, is the most seriously scaled. but with the others, showed slight improvement this morning, it was said at the hospital.
 Vice President Joseph F. Lamb of Landers, Frary & Clark said this afternoon the cause of the explosion remains undetermined and it is probable that it may never be known. There are several theories entertained, any of which may be fact, but MT. Lamb and others who have gone into the accident in thorough manner cannot state def initely whether water remaining in the pipe, a broken flange, or other causes were responsible.
 MT. Lamb expressed pleasure at the hospital reports today. He and other officials of the concern have been solicitous for the mems con- dition since the accident, and have visited them at the hospital and ar- ranged to have everything possible done for their comfort.
