G.N.S0.-Two new war clouds ap-
peared over the Narragansett Park
horizon today following the storm
which ended in the rout of Walter

of 'Gansett."
One was a warning by Gov.

Island must be assured of clean

the track to reopen.
The other was the possible at

to GUST him. His three-year-con-
tract was purchased for $25, 900.
He was given his 100000 life in
surance policy. A New York group
offered to buy his stock of $4,000
shares for $780, 900 it was reported.
The warning of Governor Quinn
threw a bombshell into the anti
O'Hara group, victorious in a bat
tie of proxies, for it had been ex-
