He refused to mako known tho i student's name. Tho missing' Pcnn student, who lives In nn npnrtment lmuso in -West Phila delphia, which also is his mother's homo, has not been at his classes this week. His mother also has been away from home, but this is not considered extra ordinary, because sho has bocn In tho habit for years of going away for brief trips. Apartment Is Searched In tho absence of mother and son, who mako up tho entire family, tho pollco havo made several visits to tho apartment and havo searched it thor oughly. What they found there, they said today, makes them more than ever eager to get in touch with the missing student. They have not announced that they will arrest tho student, or even hold him. They nro principally eager to question him. They aro watching his butrt-iiome tor nis return, una nuvo in- stltutcd an active search for him in his ordinary haunts. Tho police havo been looking for this young man from the first, it became knqwn today, and tho search for the New York friend of Drcwes, Charles Schloss, was largely a "blind" to dis tract attention from the real search. The student sought is not widely known nt tho University of Pcnnsyl vanla. Ho has been there, as a fresh man, only slnco the recent opening of school. Major Wynne said today he is getting gratifying results from tho publicity elvnn tlm ense. csncclally that given to his appeal for any one who might have inrormation to volunteer u. Major, Wynne believes that tho mys tery is fast Hearing solution.

"I would say that there was some clear purpose in having Drcwcs' body found' saldMaJor Wynne. "His dis appearance would not apparently have accomplished tho purpose of the person n-hn klllpd him. "So far as my investigation goes, I do not think tho murderer was ac quainted with tho neighborhood. I think lie wns simpiy tootling ior u bjiui. in which to place tho body. There have been reports that Drewcs may have been alive when placed near the lamp post. With that bullet hole in his head, I think death must have been almost in stantaneous." N. Y. C.

I Convention Stand Hurts In diana Candidate . FAILED TO AID LENR00T ' IN WISCONSIN SPEECH By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff Corrnpondrnt Kvenlne TuMto Idfe; CopvHoM, 190, bv Public J.cdocr Co. Chicago. Oct 21. Two letters of, Senator Hiram Johnson, attacking Senator James E. Watson, have thrown tho Indlann campaign into confusion within thn lost few days and consider ably lessened Senator WotMin's chances' of re-election. These letters were writ ten by Johnson in July whllo no was suuering tinner mi: nniim. defeat by the Republican convention to,. Carl H. Mote, a Johnson worker in In dinna. They attacked Watson for tho part ho played In the R-publlcan Na tional Convention in Chicago. General Wood received a plurality Stt all the votes east In the Republican pri maries in Indiana. Senator Watson, one of tho delcgates-at-largo from In dlnna, was thus instructed to General Wnrwl .TnhtiKnn nccuses Watson of having shown "cynical contempt for tho' 11 1 l.,.lanlln.1 II'mAiI people, nuti ni naving in.-uu)t-u nuuu, nnd worked in the Interest of other can didates nt Chicago. The letter touched, a sore spot in Indiana, for there is much resentment there over the nttempt oC Wntson nnd other orgnnizntlon men to deliver tho delegates of Indiana to other candidates than Genernl Wood. who. carried the primaries. Eleventh -Hour Publication These letters of Johnson's were writ ten specifically for publication, but wera not made public until jiibt now In tho , .1 l.-..- aC lt'nt.nn'a r.V,fr fn- ..a- ..Wontl, hour of Wntson's ficht for re election. Johnson cnljs Wntson "the willing, super serviceable tool for more cunning men who have ever pulled tho strings for him to dance in his littlo political life." Johnson threatens trouble for such men as Watson. He writes, "While I mav declare a truce for a few short weeks. I intend to devote myself to smashing this system, to exposing in divldtinls responsible for it nnd hold ing to public scorn nuu ouioquy mo men who betrayed the rank and file of the party who hnd expressed their will, nt a direct primary.' The publication ot tnese letters uaas to the feeling that is drawing up against Johnson in the party. Well informed Republicans feel that he is only rendering lip service to his party for the sake of regularity. They don't exnect the narty to follow Johnson in. his Irreconcilable position on the league Ml '" l0W?J ?i REf ft'S ? - so- A, 'W.11.?" . M. til , ? campaign he is making was his trip to Wisconsin. He went there ostensibly. to make a speech for Senntor Lenroot. He mnde his speech without even men-" tionlng Lcnroot's nnmo. Johnson Being Isolated Incidents like the Wisconsin speech nnd the Watson letters nre steadily iso lating Johnon in his party. He Is an embittered mnn who ' Is gradually gettiug himself into n position like thnt of Senntor Ln Follctte, where he will ' have no friends nmong tho lenders of the Republican party. He differs from La Follette in this t.nt, as the pri maries showed, 'he had a considerable national following, which 1m Folletto never hnd. What this natlonnl follow ing mny amount to in the future will depend upon political developments. If there is u tendency townrd radicalism Johnson mny be expected to break out. Uih his letter to Mote already quoted threatens. If Senator Harding suc ceeds in reconciling and holding to gether tho Republican party, Johnson will steadily drift more aud more into the position of La Follette, as a lonely nnd Irreconcilable Republican. Development!, like Thompson's recent victory in Illinois are promising for Johnson in the future. Thompson leads a crowd as radical as any Ln Follette ever led. And even if James Hamilton Lewis, the Democrntic candidate, wins tho governorship of Illinois, ns now seems plausible, Thompson hns good prospects of controlling the Republican pnrty in this stnte. nnd this will be one focus of rndienl infection. Forcing Rndiral Stand In n similnr way 'the Nonpartisan League is gradually forcing the Repub lican party iu tho agricultural states of the West toward a more radical posi tion. To cut the ground from under the leaguo the party leaders take over the less objectionable parts of its plat form. Iu North Dakota, for example, the Republicans achieved thejr first success in recent years, only :K partial victory to be sure, by adopting sub stantinlb tho Nonpartisan League plat form nnd nominating for stnte offlco former members of the Nonpartisan League. The league seems doomed to pln the role of nil third-party move ments iu this country ; namely, of modifying the policy of the party it most threatened. Johnson's only hope for the future lies iu the possibility of increasing radicalism. Tho hope Is not big nnd Johnson is not nnturally an optimist. He seems, moreover, to have for the present ouly a bad Issue. In the letters attacking Watson just published he promises to make a fight upon the betrayers of direct primaries. After the convention he promised to make nn issue of nationwide popular primaries for the nomination of presi dential candidates. lie seems to be obsessed with the direct primary idea, although faith in direct primaries everywhere is upon the wane. It is foolish to predict what the future has iu store for n man like Johuson. lie is nt odds with his party, and all his present manifestations of regularity do not serve to conceal that fact. Tho Wntson lettern and the failure to mention Lenroot in his speech aro only actions typit-al of many. Johuson, moreover, has not the quali ties of a great popular leader. There is no warmth about his personality. He does not Inspire nffectlon. Ho forms none of the personnl attachments on which great political strength Is built up. He is now an embittered man trusting uo one, having no real Issue, out on the end of u limb iu regard to tho League of Nations and supporting the djlng institution of direct pri maries, while waiting with a certain lunate pessimism for tho turn of events iu his favor.
