MRS. BRAMWELL IS
 STILL UNCAPTURED
Watch Chesham, N. H., Home
 for Escaped Inmate

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 2 (UP)- More than A hours after her dra- matic escape from an insane asy- lum, Mrs. Barbara Buffum Bram- well, hoax wedding bride, was still at large today.
 The young woman made her getaway yesterday from Worcester State hospital where she had been placed under observation following the disclosure that Sir William Harold Bramwell of his majestys navy" whom she married in Oxford On December 15, was in reality humble ships clerk aboard the Mauretania.
 Watch Chcsham Home
 Authorities learned that Mrs. week, now in England, had planned to spend their honeymoon at the Buffum summer home on Silver lake in Chesham, N. II. In the pos sibility that the fugitive bride might have headed for that place, Deputy Sheriff Arthur A. Keefe and several state hospital attaches went there yesterday. They 1ound d num- Der of letters addressed to Mrs. BramWell, apparently penned by the absent bridegroom, at the summer home, but there was no trace of the escaped patient. The investigators returned here late last night with out d clue.
 It was first believed Mrs. Bram- well had escaped with outside aid but Dr. William A. Bryan, hospital uperintendent, said today he WAS satisfied that the bride had engir- eered her getaway unassisted. Her only visitor during the three days she spent at the institution was her father, James C. Buffum, Webster banker, at whose request she had been taken to the hospital for ob- servation, it was pointed out.
 Apparently Without Funds
 So far as was known, Mrs. Bram- we'll was without funds. At the time she escaped by squeezing through d space less than eight inches wide at the top of d barred window she wore a navy blue summer coat, d black velvet hat, and black oXfords
 Mrs. Bramwell once attended the Sargent school of physical training in Cambridge and hospital authori- ties declared that without the aid of such athletic training she probably would have been unable to escape.
 The missing bride is five feet tall and weighs only 104.

PORTUGUESE UNITE
 FOR PRINCE NUNO
R0yaliStS Decide Pretender Is
 Now Entitled to Throne

Lisbon, May Is P,-The wide
 gulf that divided Portuguese mon-
 archists has finally been bridged over.
 Braganza, the last king of Portugal, and those of Prince Nuno Duartc the 23 year old pretcnder of the other branch of Braganza, have agreed to bury the hatchct in order
 to build a monarchist dam against the rising tide Of republican social ism,
 The reconciliation is the conse- quence of King Manuel's luke-warm enthusiasm for the ''Causc" and his disinclination to take a leading part l in the movements for the restora- tion of the monarchy in Portugal. l The ex-monarch, it is understood, is happy among his books at his Fullwell Park palace in London,
 which was bequeathed 10 him by the late Duke D'Orleans, his uncle, and has repeatedly rejected the pleas of his adherents to lead revolts against the republican regime in Portugal.
 In contrast to the literary minded sovereign, his royal relative, the Austrian-e educated Prince Nuno Duarte, is consumed with ambition to regild the tarnished escutcheon of his ancestors who ruled over this country for nearly 500 years.
 The supporters of Duarte are re- cruited from the student class and the intelligensia. Girls are devoted

to the dashing young prince, whose miniature portrait they carry in medallions around their necks.
 Born in Austria
 Don Nuno, who was born 23 years ago at Seebenstein, Lower Austria, IS handsome youth. He is the di- rect scion of the legitmist branch of the dynasty of Braganza, which settled down in Austria after Dom Miguel, the pretender's grandfather, was forced to leave the country.
 Like Dom Manuel his rival, Prince Duarte is not allowed to live in Portugal, but his adherents say that on d few occasions he ran the gauntlet of the police and presided over their deliberations. Portuguese monarchists who owe allegiance to the pretender are organized along the lines Of the French "Camelots du roi," Leon Daudets royalist

party. They have their party news paper, "The Portuguese Nation" and are intensely patriotic.
 The last male survivor of the house of Braganza -Coburg Gotha, the present ex-King Manuel, has no heir. Monarchists who stand for him have been persuaded to acknowledge the leadership of the pretender for the preservation of the dynasty.
 Although the republicans make light of the monarchist movement, and consider that the republic is firmly implanted, there have been manifestations lately which lend support to the theory that the roy alist party is a. force to be counted with. A numbe of monarchists have been deported to the islands of Ma deira and the Azores.
