The situation presents a political
dilemma to the republicans. In 81
years of statehood. Oklahoma has
not elected a republican governor.
Some republican leaders believe
they could profit from further DEM

regime if they fail to join the forces

MRS. RUTH'S BODY
To BE EXAMINED
Another Autopsy viii Be Pa.
formed for Relatives Today

Watertown. Mass. Jan. IL "
Still another legal obstacle remained
to be handled today before the body
Of Mrs. George Herman Ruth. es-
tranged wife Of Babe Ruth. could be
taken to its last resting place. Mrs.
Ruth died last Friday night in q fire
at the home of DR.. Edward H. Kim
der. Boston dentist. here. She had
been known to neighbors as Mrs.
Helen Kinder and authorities start
ed an investigation into the circum-
stances of her death when it was
learned Sunday that she was Mrs.
Ruth. That was shortly before the
hour which had been set for the
funeral.
District Attorney Robert T. Bush
nell ordered a second autopsy to be
performed today on Mrs. Ruth's
body. although he said that he was
convinced that Mrs. Ruth died from
suffocation and incineration. ~
Medical Examiner George l.. West
of Middlesex county had reported
after a first autopsy. District Attor-
ney Bushnell said DIR. George A..
Magrath, medical examiner of SUI
folk county. would make the au-
topsy today because he had equip
ment better adapted to chemical
analysis Of the stomach than had
DR.. West.
Reports to Police
Meanwhile DR.. Kinder, who had
been in hiding since early Saturday,
reported to the Watertown police OF
his own accord and submitted to
four hours questioning. Afterwards
Chief of Police John F. Milmore an
nounced that DIR. Kinder had satis-
factorily explained his connection
with Mrs. Ruth and with the cir
cumstances of her death. The case
was closed as far as the Watertown
police were concerned. Chief Mil
more said.
DR.. Kinder. told police. according
to chief Mllmore, that he had lived
with Mrs. Ruth at intervals since
1927, that he had never married
her, but that there was nothing
morally wrong with his relations
with Mrs. Ruth. The chief declar-
ed, that Babe Ruth knew that his
wife was living at the WATERFOWL
address with him. The Ruths have
been separated for three years.
"Dr. Kinder told u.s. said Chlef
Milmore, that on Saturday night
he walked the streets in distraction
fearing the story was coming out.
He remained in seclusion on Sunday
on the advice Of his father, who told
him there was nothing to fear"
Can't Recall
Chief Milmore said that Kinder
admitted he might have told Med
ical Examiner West after the nre
that Mrs. Ruth was Mrs. Kinder. a"
was alleged, but declared that ne
could not recall doing 80.
Babe Ruth, who arrived IN Bos-
ton Sunday, dismissed newspaper
men late yesterday with the plea
fellows, please let my wife alone.let
her stay dead. I'm In a terrible
fix"
Ruth's attorney. John P. Feeney,
said the Babe would attend ms
wife's funeral. which probably will
be held on Wednesday from the
home of the Woodfords, Mrs. Ruths
family. in South Boston. Judson

have buried the hatchet."

information whatsoever. saying that
there was nothing to say as the con-
versations we're merely of an amic-
able character not dissimilar to a
series of other conversation which
had occurred among friends belong
ing to different DOlitical Camps dur
ing the past 60 years.
Monsignor Borgongini Duca be-
longs to a distinguished Roman
