HAUNTS STATE POLITICAL LEADERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. U.P)-
All Hallow's eve in the California
gubernatorial campaign found two
very much alive ghosts haunting
the campaign managers in the final
drive for the favor of 3,14O,0O0 Gol-
den state voters.
AS elusive as any spectre that
rode through the California coun-
tryside on Halloween were the an
Swers of those two questions:
/. For whom will George Creel
cast his vote ito save the state from
hare drained experimentation?
2. What is j. F. T. O'Connor,
comptroller of the currency, doing
in Los Angeles after a hurried trip
by airplane from Washington?
Managers Of the gubernatorial
candidates. of Gov Frank F. Mer
riam, conservative Republican,; Up
ton Sinclair, former Socialist who
defeated Creel for the Democratic
termination, n d r a YIN on d L..
Haight, Progressive middle of the
road candidate, would like the an
sWers before making their final cal
culations in the hottest campaign
California has had in many years.

enlivened a bitter Indiana political
campaign.
A long awaited expose of the eS-
cape plot, partly disclosed yesterday
by investigators who charged Dill
linger paid an $1,000 bribe, became
involved today in a maze Of charges
and counter charges.
One result was that the plot in
curry may be major issue in next

A grand jury here was asked to
! indiCt state officials who routed
eight persons from their beds and
spirited them into hiding for ques
tioning about the Dillinger break
last March g.

case of kidnapping on our hands.

His investigators claimed evidence
showing that Dillinger bought his

that his little wooden gun trick
