Young Woman Completely Disappears-Author-

PENNINGTON, Conn, April 13. Admittedly baffled in the search for Mrs. Andrew Gordon, aged 25, blonde, Junior Leaguer, who dis appeared last We d n es ay, the authorities are virtually without a clue as even her footprints, they previously regarded as helpful evil dence, failed them.
 County Detective Edward Hickey, who joined the posse of 150 State police and civilians, in an attempt to trace Mrs. Gordon, who recently became mother, said he believed the footprint clue was useless and were not those of the missing woman. Her baby is reported in delicate health. Her husband is employed by the Hartford Electric Light Company. He can give no reason for his wife's strange disap- pearance.
