ernor's nomination, 1t is felt, be- cause he is personally interested in the matter. If this situation occurs, 1t means that the democrats will lose their majority in the senae and Che body will be tied, 17 to IT, with Q republican senate president left to dissolve the tie. It Is needless to speculate on how Lieutenant Governor Roy Wilcox will vote.
 The republicans, are bound to stand solid for the retention of Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett just as they did in their futile sup port of Motor Vehicles Commits sloner Robbins B. Stoeckel. There fore,. Governor Cross, In order to get Q democrat into Blodgett's job, may be forced to nominate some- one else instead of Hackett. If the governor Is forced to name some- one else he will do so reluctantly for 1t Is his desire to place the New Haven man in Blodgett's place.
 Senator Joseph II. Lawlor Is eX- pected to be named state athletic commissioner during the coming week, also, while Senator Edwin R. Dimock Is to be commissioner of domestic animals. 1t is believed. Neither of this appointments re- quire senate ratification.
 Senator Lawlor, If named, will succeed Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donahue while Senator Dimock will take the place of Do- mestic Animals Commissioner Charles l.. Johnson.

They drove in to rough country toward 0 cran. berry bog, where the car stopped "she saw Q black cloth, rope and handcuffs on the floor of the car. The driver made her lie her, tied her arms to her body, handcuffed her wrists, and put Q second rope around her waist. "He threw Q black robe over her and left her there in tho back her. She said she would not make any noise or he would chloroform her. She said she woul dnot make any noise.
 "He tried to put a gag in her mouth but stopped when she promised not to make any noise. "He backed the machine for some distance and then drove about an hour on q rough road. The car stopped and a man - Peggy thinks 1t was another man carried her into what she found later was 0 one-room shack, She heard voices of more than one man. They stayed quite a while. "She lay on the floor, and one man made Q pillow for her of his overcoat.
 "The first night, she said, he brought her ham sandwiches and milk.
 "The second night 1t was ham sandwiches and cocoa.
 "The third night it was ham sandiches and milk again. She said she was tired of ham, but he said he couldn't get anything else. He said he had planned to take her to 0 more comfortable place, but didn't dare to. She had water at all times.
 "The man kept warning her to be quiet, saying there was kid- naping gang around and he was trying to get her back to her parents. Thursday night. she thinks about il o'clock, he told her he had arranged 1t. He blind folded her and put her on the front seat of Q car. They drove a long distance. She was put in the back seat of another car, and the blindfold was removed. She found she was sitting beside her father. | CyTlt DuCh Wd5 oiAvaaS tHc CdA Beside him was a man, she thinks the one who had guarded her. He wore a hood over his face, which had peaks like ears. at the top.
 'She said her father told him he had better not wear it because he looked like e bunny. The man did not reply. They drove long way and stopped near Snow Inn, | in Harwichport. Then her father took her to the pond, which is what she calls Wychmere. Harbor, and put her in a rowboat. With him, she went to Lees boat, the Bob, and they were there all day until the Coast Guard boat took them off"

aboard boat off Harwichport late yesterday.
 McMath and his business asso- ciate, William Lee, as well as bank CTS and others concerned in the ran- soming of Peggy, were questioned through the night after Peggy had told her story and had been sent home with Mrs McMath. Needham told Peggy's story, an- nounced that the ransom had amounted to $70,000 in currency, and made public some. details of negotiations for the child's return. But beyond that he fiatly declined to go.
 Needham told Peggy's story and the other details shortly before a. m., and indicated then that he and his men, as well as McMath and all the other witnesses, would stay at the Coast Guard station through the rest of the night. He warned, however, that ke would allow no further statement to be made, and would let no informa. tion leak from the well guarded station.
 Among the witnesses under ex- animation was Cyril Buck, a Har- wichport year-round resident who served as intermediary between McMath and the kidnapers. As Needham relayed the story, Buck was approached by an agent of the kidnapers and asked to arrange ncgotiations. Buck insisted on proof that the girl was held alive and after consulting McMath ask- ed that she be requested to tell the name of her pet dog, which had died.
 The .kidnaper's agent returned with the name, Peter the Great" written in Peggy's handwriting, Needham said.
 That convinced the McMaths that 1t was safe to negotiate, and rar- som payment was arranged, ac- cording to the story.
 But 1t was evident that police and federal agents were wholly un- satisfied with the situation. Me- Math was insisting upon maintain ing a pledge to the kidnapers of AS hours protection, 1t appeared, whereas the officers felt they should have all information and thus be enabled to start at once
 Many details of the story re- mained in doubt, and Needham was frankly resentful over the sit- uation. :.
 "We're just beginning to work on this case" department of Jus- tice agent said when he left the Coast Guard station long after mid- night and five other federal agents.
 Friction between the McMaths and the police first became evident

TROUBLE LOOMS
FOR ECONOMIC
CONFERENCE
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

The outlook for the world eco
nomic conference, only a month
away, was considered somewhat
gloomy in washington today.
Great Britain is baking over
the tariff truce proposed by Presl-
dent Roosevelt as necessary pre-
lude to the conference. Britain
is withholding her assent to the
truce until she is assured OF some
concessions from washington on
her debt to the United States.
Those assurances President RooSe-
welt has been unable or unwilling
to give.
Congress Baking
Congress is baking at giving
Mr.. Roosevelt the free hand he de-
sires to negotiate tariff reductions
and "a new DEAF on the debts.
Any new deal" on the debts in
Congressional opinion, could mean
but one thing, partial cancellation,
and to that Congress is prepon-
derantly opposed.
The disarmament conference in
Geneva is in the doldrums and
probably will be recessed in a
few weeks.
Such is the situation today,
with the actual converting Of the
London conference but a matter
of four weeks ahead. Some yeo'
man work is going to have to be
accomplished within the next few
weeks if the meeting gets Oft
to anything but an extremely
lame start.
The early optimism which was
expressed on all sides after the
conclusion of the Roosevelt-Mac'
Donald conversations has almost
entirely evaporated'
Doesn't Suit U. S.
While Macdonald was earnestly
assuring officials here of Britain's
willingness to cooperate in a
world saving" endeavor, and
graphically portraying the two
English-speaking peoples leading
the world back to economic recov'
cry, his Tory colleagues in the
British cabinet at home were
moving swiftly to consolidate
British trade advantages in South
America and on the Continent
That fact has not set very well
with washington.

Post office Receipts
Drop I.9 in April

Postal receipts throughout the
United States declined 1.9 per
cent in April as compared with
the same month Of 1882, the
Post Office Department an
nounced yesterday.
Small increases were noted In
Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn,
Pittsburgh, San Francisco, At
lanta, Newark IN. j., Omaha
Des Moines, New Orleans, and
Richmond. The boost was not
sufficient, however, to prevent
heavy declines in other major
cities from dragging down the
general average.

GIRL IN BATHING
SUIT BUMPS
|NTOK|NG
BY LAURENCE MEIER

Dy AtAO"GGNOG WGAGAS
WINDSOR. Eng, May 8 GIN.
SO.-The amazing adventure OF
q pretty little English girl who
curtSied before King George on
the banks of the Thames with
nothing to cover her shapeliness
save a one-piece bathing suit,
came to light here today.
In this unconventional attire,
19-year-old Edna Brown made
her bow before Britain's gracious
Monarch not once but twice.
And instead of mourning royal
displeasure, she earned smiles
and a friendly conversation.
far more than King George ever
could accord to a dolled-up
debutante or dowager duchess
curtseying before him in train
and plumes at a royal cour5 IN
Buckingham Palace.
Swims the Thames
Employed at a hotel at
Datchet, across the Thames from
Windsor Castle, Edna had her
first encounter with the King
when she emerged, dripping with
water but radiant in her youth
full attractiveness, after SWIM
ming the river from the other
side.
She was startled when the
King happened along on his
magnificent horse, and the mon
arch was none the less surprised.
But he raised his hat. Edna
tells the following story:
"'Well, you must be fairly
good swimmer, he said. L
know the river here and the
current flows very strongly.
But don't you find the water
cOld?'
Il shook my head. I was
absolutely tongue tied, al
though I could see the King
wanted to put me at my ease"
Meets Him Again
The king watched while Miss
Brown swan back, and two days
later she encountered him again.
This time he was on foot. She
related:
"We spoke first of the wea-
ther, then of the glorious cOun-
tryside, and then about the
income tax.
"He is the greatest gentle
man and the most kindly man
1 have ever seen.
The crown Land Office, ap-
parently viewing the adventure
differently from King George,
wrote a sharp letter to the pro-
prietor of the hotel asking him to
restrain his guests from trespass-
ing on the royal property.
AS she was an employe and
not a guest, the proprietor was
able to take Miss Brown to task,
and she felt obliged to quit her
position. Townspeople learned
of it, and the local vicar. the
Rev. T. R. Potter, interceded
with Lord Claud Hamilton, one
of the kings equerries. When
he learned what had happened,
King George expressed a wish
that Miss Brown should not lose
her job, and as a consequence
the girl expects to get her posi-
ton back again.
