HAVING HOT Fight
Senatorial Campaign Develops
Into Alleged Burglary
BASS OFFICES RANSACKED
Former Governor, Candidate For
Senate, Reports That Important
Campaign Lists And Documents
Have Been Stolen.

Concord, N. H., Aug. 80 Up
The headquarters of the Bass SEN
atorial committee here were broken
into last night, committee leaders
reported today to the police. The
files in the office containing impor-
tant information on the primary
campaign of former governor Ro-
bert P. Bass for the republican nom
nation for the United States senate
apparently had been inspected, it
was said.
Important Papers Gone
Included in the files were names
of campaign workers. Entrance to
the office of the Patriot building had
been gained by breaking a window
in a door and turning the door knob
from the inside. The break was
made at some time between mid
night and o'clock this morning.
The police Immediately began an
investigation
The fact that the office had been
entered was discovered by the JAM
0OA "iASA nc eiillN6u lIllS morning.
His attention was first attracted by
the broken pane of glass in the
door, and on further Investigation
he found the drawers of the filing
cabinet open and the papers in them
disarranged. He notified the police
at once.
Members of the campaign COM
mittee Immediately began to check
up the papers to see if anythink had
been taken from the office. They
said they could not tell without a
thorough check-up.
Entrance Sunday Night
Considerable significance was at
tached to the fact the entrance was
made on Sunday night, the only
night in the week when there is no
night Waterman in the building. It
was assumed from this that the
plans had been made carefully and
deliberately.
1t was further revealed today that
this was the second time that the
office was believed to have been en-
tered. A few weeks ago, committee
leaders said, a window in tn rear
of the office had been tempered
with in the night. Only casual at
tention was given the matter at than
time, they said, because there was
no evidence that anything irregular
had been done in the office.

today since she wished to take coun-
sci with friends who have assisted
her since death took the breadwin-
ner to whom she and three small
children had looked to for support,
she said.
Her claim. will probably be urged
on the ground that the police were
negligent in not removing from
Swanson the belt with which he
formed a moose to strangle himself.
Chief of Police William c. Hart, i'm

fatality had been discovered, said
the belt should have been taken
from Swanson as is the practice
whenever a prisoner is placed in a

over the possibilities of remunera-

appears to her to be the only way
to carry on. Peter Swanson died
without insurance and with no
money in the bank, she told an in

She recited in detail the events
which lead up to her husbands
death this afternoon. Coming home
on the preceding evening apparent
ly much the worse for liquor, he be-
came ill., A sample of the liquor he
had was sent to the police station
and two officers were detailed to
talk with Swanson. An offer Of SO

informer brought Swanson's agree
ment to report at headquarters the
following morning, she said. Mrs.
Swanson cautioned the police Off
GERS that her husband was not to be
out of their sight, she said
today, and she declares they prom

ing. Because they did not do this,
