CONSERVATIVES BARELY
 ESCAPE \ BEATING
Ynsa aevemtAan Seats In Nova ScOtte Election To Liberal
 Opposition.

Halifax. N. G.. Oct. 2 R-The consefvative government. headed oy Premier E. ". Rhodes, which in 1925 came into power with a margin of 37 seats narrowly escaped defeat in yesterdays provincial elections. The conservatives won only 23 of the q contested seats. losing seventeen to the liberal opposition headed by William Chisholm.
 The standing of the parties at the time of dissolution was conservatives q. liberals 3. with three seats won by the conservatives in 1925 vacant. The standing today was conserva- tives 23. liberals 20. Premier Rhodes, himself. won by only a mar row marsain in his home county. Hants.
 Four conservative ministers went down to defeat. They are J. A. Walker, minister of natural re- sources, J. F. Cahan. assistant min- ister of highways and B. A. Leblanc. aild Dr. w. N. Rehfuss, ministers without portfolio.
 The loases suffered by his party were blamed by Premier Rhodes on tho over-confidence of himself and party. the revision of the voters lists, which he said had cut of the names of enough conservatives to influence the election in several constituencies. and the failure of the voters to realize the benefits which would ultimately come to them through tho progressive policies which he had initiated. Tho voters expected too great and immediate results from his administration. he said. The conservatives victory in 1925 put them in power for the first time in a quarter of a century.

campaign for the Hoover-Curtis ticket. Slemp is optimistic about the outlook there and particularly about the strength he claims has develop ed for the republican candidate among the women.
 Undoubtedly the recent letter which was sent out over the sigma ture of Mrs. Willie w. Caldwell, na- tional committeewoman for Vir- ginia, calling on the women to save the country from being "Romanized" will form one subject matter for discussion" between Hoover and Slemp. Scarcely had Hoover finished repudiating that letter before anoth- CT incident of the same kind crop ped up in another southern state. This was the action of Oliver D. Street. republican national commit teeman and state chairman for Ala bama. in sending out a pamphlet en- titled Governor Smiths Member ship in the Catholic Church and Its Proper Place in the Campaign" Hoover has taken no action respect ing the circulation of this document as Chairman Work of the republi- can committee had sent . telegram of protest to Street before the mat ter was called to the attention of the candidate.
 Stands on Statement On Hoover's behalf. however. it was stated at his headquarters that he stood squarely on hts statement of last Saturday that he wanted no support on the basis of religion. The candidate has stated and reiterated that the religious question is not an issue in this campaign.

Washington. Oct. 3 N-chairman Work of the republican national committee. made public late last night the text of . telegram he sent on Sept. 20 to Oliver D. Street. na- tional committeeman for Alabama, in which he expressed disapproval of Streets issuance of . circular at- tackisg Governor Alfred E. Smith, deWocratic nominee. because of hts membership in the Roman Catholic church.
 Denies Getting Wire
 The telegram was not made public until after Chairman Work had been informed that Street had been quot ed as denying that he had received such a message from the republican national chairman. Previously Chairman Work had said that he sent a telegram to Street condemn ing the dr;> ging into the political campaign of the religious issue, ut he refused to make the communica- tion public at that time. Street. in addition to being national commit teeman for his state is also state republican campaign chairman. Receives Cirxular
 Chairman Work in his telegram said he had received . circular. sup posedly written by Street and having as its subject: Governor Smiths membership in the Roman Catholic church and its proper place IS an issue in the campaign"
 The republican national chairman declared that he regretted exceed ingly" that the religious issue should be dragged into the campaign and called Streets attention to a letter written by Chairman Work to all national committeeman which said:
 The campaign policy we propose to follow will be informative and constructive only. The promptings of the conscience and personal liber- ty within the law are not proper subjects for political debate"

HAGEN MAY LOSE
 HIS GOLF GROWN
Walter Has to Overcome JinI at
 Tenth Hole on Course

Baltimore. Oct , NeUnless Wal. ter Hagen can break tho spell of | jinx hole. which forced him to take . seven both times hs has tried it in the National Professional Golf association championship tour na. ment, the end Of the week may ind him minus the title he has worn for the last four years in . TOW.
 Those disastrous sevsns on the tenth hole of the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country club over which tho tourney is being played. cost him . chance for the medal or at least for runner-up honors in the 36-hole qualifying round. which opened the six-day competition yes- tsrday.
 Al it turned out. the medal went to Al Espinosa. saily plunged and self confident golfer from the Illi- nois Country club with . brilliant 142. but given par fours on his two tries at that bad tenth, Sir Walter might have saved six strokes and given Al run for his money. The weight of those sorrowful sevens. however. showed the Haig's total up to l6o and . tis with two others for fourth place.
 Edging in ahead for second and third medal honors were Tommy Ar mour. the lanky Scot who held the national open championship before Johnny Farrell won 1t this year. and Gene saraxen the traditional rival of Hagen for this particular crown. Shooting steady golf over what many of tho pros called about the toughest course they ever played. Armour turned in . 146 and sarazen . 14s. None of these three did worse than . five on Hagen's jinx hole and they had no trouble doing it in par.
 Hagen now finds himself in the lower half of the match play draw, where most of the strength is con gresated. His immediate opponent today is Willie Ogg. who played around in tho threesome with him yesterday but who is given only the slimmest of chances of stopping the Haig. The champion should not find the going rough in the second round either. but after that he had his work cut for him with such players as Leo Diegel, Al Watrous. Sarazen, Bill Mehlhorn and Armour. in the same half of the draw.
 Espinosa, who meets Johnny Golden today. is outstanding in the top half. along with Jock Hutchi- son and Willie MacFarlane.
 Virtually none of the country's most noted pros failed to win places among the 32 qualifiers. but one young man who shot wonderful golf despite the lack of an ultra famous name was deprived of a place in the charmed circle because of . techni- cality.
 James Thompson. youthful pro from Knoxville. Tenn, wound up with a l51. but was disqualified be- cause of a lost ball. When the ball disappeared he hunted a couple of minutes, then went back to the tee and drove again.
 On tho way down the fairway he found the original ball and played it. On tho ground that he should have continued with the second ball. the P. c. A. executive barred him after . heated conference.

GRANDMA" REGARDED AS.
CLASSIC OF LITERATURE

Helen Hunt Jackson's story, IRA
mona, which comes to the Plaza
Theatre, Milford, Monday and Tues
day, October and 2, is regarded as
one of the present-day American
classics.
When Mrs. Jackson decided to
write Ramona" she had a deliber-
ate purpose and as high an aim as
that associated in the writing of
Uncle Toms Cabin" She did not
realize that her story would prove
one of Americas most interesting
romances.
1t was the writer's motive to
bring the treatment toward the In
dams by the Americans, before
Congress in the hope that Congress
would enact just laws. That was
Mrs. Jackson's whole desire.
Before Ramona" recalled the In
dams plight in fiction form, she had
written "A Century of Dishonor" in
which was an account of the United
States governments dealing with
the Indian tribes that had wide
spread influence. Being a plain,
cold statement of facts, with copies
Of evidence to bear it out, "A Cen
Jury of Dishonor" was really an in
lictment of the Government for its
failure to keep its promise with the
