night by the East Barnet Psychl-

Legend says Sir Godfrey was
drowned in a pond at Trent park
ind 1146 and has haunted the
scene ever since. The society
wishes to ascertain the trouble
and help the old knights to leave
the world in peace.
S. E. Frusher, chairman of the
society, spoke hopefully of the
hunt.
eve are sure that Sir Godfrey
will listen to u.s." he said. "He
used to keep Tryst at Christmas
every six years. But he has not
made his customary appearance
since 1926. Two years ago we
thought he would turn up and
about 1000 cars from all parts of
London, and about 1000 people
gathered to search for the ghost.

Last year two searching par
ties were organized. They wait
ed in the fields which surround
the ruins of Vaudeville Castle at
South Mimms, but Sir Godfrey
did not appear at 11:30, his usual
time. People, society officials
said, again made too much noise.
At Christmas 1928 a London

Godfrey pass through a wall and
disappear. Stories of his ghostly
appearance are common at Bar

is the suggestion they have had
from me without exception and

Thus weekend developments
widened the breach among Repub-
licans, who already were divided
because the New Deal swept to
victory in the off-year elections
last month. Fletcher's statement
yesterday indicated he would con-
done no compromise with the New
Deal, when he said. E.
81 believe it (the New Dea) is
sapping the morale and stamina of
our people and is not aiding re-
covery. l believe it is a failure.
In spite of the fact that the last
campaign was fought on a wide
front and without adequate funds,
the latest available election statis-
tics show that the Republican
party polled over as per cent of
the total vote cast on Nov. g."
When congress convenes in
January, Fletcher will find that
only about four Republicans are
willing to go as far as he has gone
in condemning the Roosevelt adj
