EXPERTS AGREE THAT
THERE is NO CHANCE
FOR ENTOMBED MINERS

ISHPEMING, Mich, Nov. s. B--
There is not the slightest possibility
that any of the 81 men trapped in the
cave-in at the Barnes-H -Hecker iron
mine here Wednesday are alive, ac-
cording to report issued here tonight
by a group of "a mining experts and
engineers representing various state
and safety organizations as well as
the Cleveland Cliffs company, owners
of the mine.
The report was issued after care
fuF investigation of the mine today
and was intended to spike recurrent
rumors that there was possibility
that some of the men may be alive in
air pockets not penetrated by the
flood.
The mine was thoroughly flooded and
sealed at the top, there was no chance
of anyone surviving, the reports de-
clared.
The funeral of William Tippet, mine
captain, one of the victims, was held
today. The little band of mourners
who followed the body to the grave
heard him described as one who knew
and loved the miners, led them through
perils, and finally himself succumbed
to the fate from which he had by his
knowledge of workings and quick
thought saved many lives.
Recovery operations continued to-
night with no success in extricating
the A bodies still in the mine.

them and an appeal was taken to the
court of appeals.
Congress later passed the Walsh act,
taking away from the court the right

formation as to the double killing
and only vague testimony as to
events preceding the tragedy.
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow
of the minister, and her brothers,
with the murder of Mrs. Mills, sat
through the trying .court day with
out losing their composure.
Only once during Mills testimony
did Mrs. Halls lips seem to quiveI
and her eyes appear to be on the
verge of tears. This was when
M:lls, the former sexton of her nus
bands church, testified that she had
sought him out, when her husband
failed to return home the previous
which was the night of the murder.
Mills was asked hundreds of ques-
tions. He told of last seeing his
wife alive, but did not see her be-
fore she was buried. He was sub-
jected to a severe cross examination
about exchanges of letters between
his wife and Hall, and certain clip
pings of the subject of divorce. The
defense claimed discrepancies between
Mills testimony today and that given
in previous examinations
Mills testified taht he was once a
shoemaker and owned a sharp knife
and Prosecutor Alexa,nder Simpson
declared that the defense was at
tempting to prove that Mills was
guilty of the double killing.

from a newspaper for letters said
to have cen written by Hall and a
diary found in the minister's house.

T.ongworth, speaker of the house of
representatives, said tonight that tho
republicans will have a solid working
majority of at least 20 in the next
house, and that it means his re-elec-

Talking with a representative of
The Associated Press, Longworth
said:
at also means the re-elecion of
John @. Tilson of Connecticut, as
majority leader and the continuance
of the chairman of all important
committees. In other words, it means
the house as it stands today will be
practically continued without change.

HAD 237 LEAD
PHOENIX, Nov. (P)@With a re-
count of votes just in the offing, the
Hunt Clark race for the governorship
tonight began to draw it's interest
less from the unofficial newspaper
tabulations and more from conjec-
ture as to what the recount woulo
show. A statement issued over the
signature of Raymond -13yas, seere-
tary Of the E. S. Clark campaign
committee, today left little doubt in
the minds of the republican sup
porters that a recount would be de-
manded. The statement said that
the people elected Clark but the
politicians defeated him." 1t did not
enlarge on this assertion.
Well-founded reports from Clark's
campaign headquarters tonight indi-
Gated that the formal request for a
recount would be made to James H
Kerby, secretary of state if the or.
ficial canvass of the vote can the two
gubernatorial candidates, Clark and
Governor George W. P. Hunt, the
latter now serving his fifth term,
substantially bore out the unofficial
newspaper canvass.
Figures compiled at 6 p. m. today
showed Hunt still leading his op-
ponent by 237 votes, the count be-
ing: Hunt S9,7S5; Clark S9,54S. Ear,
lier in the day he had had lead of
some $50 votes. Nninety-two fugitive
votes in Navajo county, available
neither from newspaper correspond
ents nor from the clerk of the board
of supervisors, were expected by
Clark supporters to turn the tide or
defeat in such measure that the
state automatically by law and at irs
own expense would be compelled to
recount the total vote cast for tho
governor. This will approximate 79,-
500.
Three counties containing probably
$50 votes, 'out of the fourteen countie
in the state were s-iu incomplete.
