 by Pets Appearance
SWAMP LAND SCOURED
Father of Kenneth Swanson Arrives
 to Aid in Hunt-Police Doubt
 Child Kidnaped-Collie Appears
 Tired, Hungry.

Colebrook, Aug. c6 iP) - A mute witness believed to know the secret Of the whereabouts of little Kenneth Swanson, turned up today at the farmhouse where an anguished fla ther and mother await word of their two andta half year old son, missing since noon Sunday.
 It was Prince, yellow and white collie, who disappeared at the same time as the child. Tired and hungry, he appeared at the farmhouse at midnight as police and volunteer searchers had completed a day of fruitless seeking for clues to Ken neth's fate
 False Hopes Raised
 His barking and scratching at the door temporarily shot hopes high. But the hopes fell again when it was seen that the dog was not accom- panied by his small playmate. searchers believe the dog had been pushed from an automobile some time during the night, probably from an automobile bearing Kenneth Swanson they think.
 George Swanson. the father of the missing boy, arrived earlier last night from Barre, Vermont, to aid In the hunt. He was questioned by local police as 10 whether he could throw any light on the disappear O lai of the boys whereabouts or the means by which he disappeared.
 Again today police and civilian searchers, numbering nearly 300, resumed the arduous search which so far has been barren of results. | Wooded hills and swamplands in the vicinity have been combed thorough ly Wells and ponds have been dragged. But not the slightest clue has rewarded their efforts
 Several Theories Offered
 Several theories have been ad Some think little Kenneth . merely trudgod away from his i home Sunday and be- came lost. Others, though police scout the theory, are convinced that he boy was lured into an automo- pile from in front of the house and s now being hidden. But for what purpose none hazard a guess. Fail Ire of bloodhounds from New Ha- zen to pick up the trail and the re- urn of the dog alone are argu nents against the first theory.

He has not given these men a definite answer he said, but the likelihood of oppo- sltion to Fenn from other quarters, possibly in the candidacy of CIar- ence Seymour of West Hartford. which today was a. possibility, may prompt him to make an early de- cision.
 Defeated By Lonergan
 Quigley was the republican nom- inee for congress in this district in 1918. He was defeated by Augustine Lonergan, who was then in office. Lonergan winning the district by about 4,100 votes and this city by about 800 votes. Several circun- stances contributed 10 the demo- cratic success that year, according to political analysis. The democratic party was in power in the nation and in the district. and the war had not vet ended conditions which. re- publloans claim, had the effect of strengthening the denocrats
 When Fem was before the repub- licans of the district as a candidate for the nomination, two years later, Quigley had sufficient strength to carry the convention and make a second run, it is claimed, but be- cause of business reasons he pre- ferred to remain at home.
 Mayor Quigley's comeback victory by record hreaking majority in the last city election has caused in- terest within the republican party to he focused upon his potential strength outside of the municipal limits of New Britain.
