 gressmen Were Elected

Portland. Me, Sept 11.-(UP)- Governor Louis Jefferson Brann, apostle of the New Deal, has been reelected-the first democratic gover in Maine's history to win a second term.
 Reteurns from COP of the 631 precincts in yesterdays state cleo ton to-day gave him 164,087 votes. compared with 131,131 for his republican opponent, Alfred K. Ames.
 The republican newspaper. Portland Press-Herald, conceded Brann's victory. and a survey of the unreported precincts showed conclusively that he was safely in.
 Returns from the same number of precincts showed that U. S. Sen- ator Frederick Hale, republican seeking a fourth term, was still being hard pressed by F. Harold Dubord, former democratic na- tional committeeman. Dubord had gained gradually on Hale during the early morning. The vote stood:
 Hale (r) ........... 137, 149
 Dubord (d) .. 135,994
 Maine voted by a margin of per- haps g to 5 to repeal its half century-old prohibition law.
 With Brann's triumph and Du- bord's surprising strength as indi- cations to them of an endorsement of the Roosevelt administrators policies, democrats looked to the

 Two JOkerS

Asbury Park, N. J.. Sept H. (PU)-Fireman Gus Agreen went off duty at midnight and went down to the convention hall pier to visit his friends the coast guardsmen, guarding the hulk of the Morro Castle lying 100 feet of shore.
 Sure looks like a ghost. don't she?" he asked, staring with awe at the great shadow of the charred liner. No one aboard, huh?"
 Nope, who'd want to be aboard her Gus?"
 Agreen found a telephone and bell-box and was told it connected with a telephone on board installed by salvage workers.
 "Ring up the captain, Gus,' sug- gested a coast guardsman.
 Think I will" said Agreen, turning the crank. The moment he stopped. the phone rang on its own accord, meaning someone aboard had turned the crank there.
 Hello" he said, his voice trem- bling.
 Hello" came a ghostly voice, I'm here."
 His scream raised an alarm. A fioodlight was turned on and po- liceman yelled at two figures seen on the upper deck to come ashore or be shot. They did and identified themselves as William Scott, 19, and Robert Mentzinger, of Glen Cove, N. Y. They came here with three friends, swam out to the hulk and climbed aboard, on a dare. They were charged with trespass- ing "A

ANOTHER UPSET
 IN GOLF CONTEST
Johnny Goodman Beaten By Sixteen Year Old
 Lad To-day

Brookline, Mass, Sept 11-(UP) The national amateur golf cham pionship was furnished with sec- ond smashing upset today when Bobby Jacobson, 16-year-old lad from Deal, N. J., defeated Johnny Goodman of Omaha, former open champion, and runner-up in the amateur two years ago. The score was l up, in 19 holes.
 Although Jacobson started shak- fly and seemed definitely headed for elimination, he braced nobly after the first few holes were played, and finally took the lead on the 18th. Goodman ran down a 10 foot putt to square the match with 8 birdie at the 17th. The 18th was halved in par As, and they started the first extra hole.
 Jacobson won the match with a par 4 on the 18th. His second was short of the green but he pitched up to lie within less than one foot of the cup. Goodman was too strong with his approach putt, and conceded the hole and match.
 Jacobson is a husky boy with a thick shock of curley hair. AL though Goodwan played somewhat indifferently, he was two up after three holes were played. But Ja- cobson rallied strongly and was only one down after six holes were complete.

TRAGIC SEAFIRE

Cause For the Disaster and Responsibility to Be
 Fixed By Members
By JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Staff CorrespondentD New York, Sept 11-UP)-The catastrophe aboard the liner Morro Castle, destroyed by fire at sea with a probable sacrifice of 137 lives. went before federal grand jury today. An attempt will be made to fix criminal responsibility.
 Evidence brought out at a pre- liminary investigation by United States hull and boiler inspectors disclosed startling charges of in- cendiarism and inefficiency on the part of the crew.
 Federal District Attorney Mar tin Conboy was so impressed by the tstimony that he ordered a grand jury investigation and sub poenaed the chief surviving offi- cers of the ruined liner.
 The jury will try to discover the origin of the mysterious blaze. ac- companied apparently by expio- sions which sent the flames from end to end of the ship with in- cridible rapidity. trapping helpless passengers in cabins.
 The jury also will bear down on the question of why large per- centage of the crew in proportion to passengers was saved, and whether the crew made the proper. disciplined effort to get passengers
