Willie and F enry Stevens Appear Un- concerned-Slain Pas tors Widow Pale But Walks Erect.
Judge Refuses to Permit Taking of Photographs State Already Has Summoned 110 Wit nesses.

Court House, somerville, N. J., Nov. 3 GP-With a jury selected. the first trail in the Hall-Mills mur- der case moved into it's second phase today.
 The jury was selected within an hour and a half, Justice Charles w. Parker of the supreme court, then dismissed the jury while he con- ferred with counsel.
 The jury does not include a woman, although Senator Simpson, special prosecutor, had planned to get a woman juror because she would better understand the work ings of Mrs. Halls mind"
 In examining one of the talesmen, Senator Simpson accused him Of ln- ducing a member of the indicating grand jury not to return an lndlct- ment against the defendants. The state used all it's five challenges, and the defense used only one.
 While the jury was being selected Justice Parker commanded court guards to seize a newspaper pho- ,oerapher's camera. The photogra- pher, who had been taking photo graphs of the proceedings, surrend- cred the camera without objection and it was impounded.
 Mrs. Hall Enters
 Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall and her brothers, Willie and Henry Stevens took their seats in the courtroom a few minutes after the court was opened. They are charged with the murder Of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills. They are on trial now only for the mur- der of Mrs. Mills.
 Mrs. Hall, rather pale but walk ing with her head held high and her body erect, preceded her brothers as they entered.
 Willie" Stevens watched the ex- animation of the first talesman with apparent nonchalance. Henry Stew enq calm and neatly dressed, stared around the court room unconcerned' ly.
 There was not a vacant seat in the court room as the trial began. Of an original 270 seats, 125 were reserv- ed for reporters. Chairs placed Tn the aisles raised the number of seats for spectators from 14o to l9O, but most seats were occupied by wit nesses and the talesmen. The state has subpoenaed no witnesses. The defense has not announced the num- Der of witnesses it will call.
 One hundred and ten witnesses had been summoned by the state be- for, the opening and there are pros- poets of more subpoenas as the trial proceeds.
 All three defendants expressed confidence of acquittal and said they looked forward to the opportunity of having their cases presented in open court.
 A last minute report that on the night of the murder Willie stevens washed blood and dirt from his hands in a New Brunswick restau- rant was under investigation by the prosecution Willie's finger prints are alleged to be on calling card found at the feet of Dr. Hall.

SIX STATES SEEM ID BE MORE MOIST Missouri and Colorado Alone
 Appear Still "Dry' RESULTS QUESTIONABLE
Both Sides in Wet and Dry Issue Claim Result Does Not Neces- sarily Reflect Entire Popular Sentiment.

New York, Nov. 3 R - The wet and dry issue went before the voters of eight states in yesterdays elections in various forms and the results were equally varied. How much the results may be regarded as refecting popular sentiment Is not without dispute, for the drys declare that in some instances their people ignored the questions.
 California's question was on the repeal of the state prohibition law. Latest returns today showed that in 2,237 precincts of the S,512 in the state, 1o4,525 votes were cast to repeal the law and 65,74G against 1t.
 No Repeal in Missouri
 Missouri's referendum was on the repeal of the state enforce ment law. Such returns as were available today showed a majority of 100000 against the proposal.
 Illinois presented a question al- most identical with that in New York. It was a proposal to petition congress for modification of the Volstead act to permit states to make their own definitions of what constitutes an intoxicating bever- age. In Illinois 3,570 precincts out of 6,053 the vote was 525,9 for the proposal to 258,49o against it..
 In New York, with some dis tricts unaccounted for but the state generally represented the vote was 1,620,91a in favor Of modif- cation and 473,96l against 1t.
 Colorado Seems Dry
 Colorado's proposal was for g law which does not conflict with the federal law, and repeal of the state Jaw as ct present. A little less than half of the state reported 64,- 401 against repeating the present law and 53,642 in favor of 1t.
 Nevada's proposal was on de- nouncing the national prohibition law as a failure and calling a con- vention to submit amendments to

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 3.-P- The republican victory in yesterdays election in Connecticut in the size of the vote cast and the pluralities given their nominees bore out the prediction of the republican state chairman. J. Henry Rorabacls that for an "off year" the party poll would make record.
 Complete figures for the election yesterday indicated that Gov. John H. Trumbull boiled 19O,659 votes as against 106,402 for Charles G. Nor ris, a margin of S4,257. At the same time United States Senator, Hiram Bingham received 1S9,563 and Rol- lin U. Tyler 1o7o51, the margin for the former being S2,512.
 The last town vote to be reported was that of Shelton which last night was known to have gone republican by a wide margin.
 Straight G. 0. P. Voting
 The republicans by uniform, and practically Straight voting gave their ticket support which can only be compared to the vote cast in the presidential election of 1924, and United States Senator Hiram Bing- ham was reelected by vote which fell only slightly behind all others in the party ticket.
 On the other hand the demo- crats also went to the polls and vot- ed straight" the variance in the totals not being at all striking.
 Trumbuu is Elected
 The republicans elected John H. Trumbull to be governor in his own right, as he had desired from the time he had stepped into the execu- tive office as the then Governor Hiram Bingham resigned to go to the United States Senate. Governor Trumbull received a vote of 190,G59 votes, a plurality over Charles G. Morris of S4,257.
 Senator Bingham was reelected with vote of 1S9.563; S2,512 votes over his opponent, Rollin U. Tyler. Tn the special election two years ago, MT. Bingham received 112, 400 votes to 71,S71 cast for his op ponent. Hamilton Holt Shortly be- fore that in the general election he received fol. governor 246,336 as against 11S,676 votes cast for MT. Morris, who then was a candidate. In the same election President Coolidge received 246,S22 votes to 110,1S4 for Mir. Davis. the demo- cratic candidate. Mir. Trumbull, run ming for lieutenant governor at that time, received 246,949. In yester- days election Mir. Bingham ran the lowest and Governor Trumbull next on the general ticket. The state ofti- ccrs also lead the head of the ticket.
 The vote of the latter was: State Treasurer Rogers, 192,1S6; State Comptroller Salmon, 191,S9l; Lieu tenant Governor Brainard. 19l.6o0; filling, attorney general. 19l,a2l; Secretary of State Pallotti, l,4lo; Governor Trumbull, 190.659; Sena- tor Bingham. 1S9,5G3.
 On Democratic Side
 On the democratic side the vote ran almost as uniformly. The fig urcs were: Tyler, for senator lO7.- 051; Waters, for lieutenant gover- nor, 1o6,S09: Morris, for governor. 1O6,402: Richman. for secretary Of

 Latest returns indicated that there were no overturns in any of the Massachusetts congressional dis tricts.
 Walsh carried Nahant. which was the lifelong home of Senator fif Jy Cabot Lodge, by a vote of BOA to l79 for Butler, although the little town went republican for soverno. Northampton, the home of President Coolidge, was carried by Butler by the close vote of 31S7 to 3l31 for Walsh. Most of the textile cities gave Walsh a heavy vote.
