COX PLANS CABINET
POST FOR ENGINEER
Would GIvo Portfolio to Indus-
trial Expert if Elected,
' He Declares
CAMPAIGNS IN NEW YORK
f Ily the Associated Press
,New Yorli, Oct. 23. Governor Cox
todoy told several hundred members of
.the Young Americans Democratic
League that, if elected, he would devote
his energy to accomplishing an Indus-
'trial readjustment throughout the coun
try. One of the, first steps in this direc
tion, he said, would be the appointment
of "the highest elns industrial engi
neer available in the country as a mem
ber of ray cabinet."
Governor Cox said ho was "abso
lutely free and unfettered by campaign
promises even In the matter of ap
pointing a fourth-class postmaster."
"Although I feel myself an utterly
free man," he added, "I shall recog
nize my election as a positive mandate
for the League of Nations. I confi
dently expect to be elected, but I will
not consider my election ns n personal
or 'party victory, but as a triumph of
the great principle which the Demo
cratic party represents.
Sees KcpubHcan Confusion
"If Senator Harding is elected there
will be, on the other hand, a multi
tude of confusions In Washington. The
certainty of tills Is evidenced by the
statements of other prominent Repub
licans. In the newspapers nearly everj
day Senator Johnon declares that the
Republican candidate is firmly set
ngainst the league, while in the same
newspaper former President Taft de
clares with equal podtivcncss that
Harding Is for it,"
After speaking to the Young Ameri
cans' Democratic League, composed for
the most part of college men and women.
Governor Cox went into conference with
his cnmpalgn advisers In New Yorlt,
receiving in his apartment George
White, chairman of the Democratic
Nntiounl Committee ; Senator Pat Har
I rlson, of Mississippi, chairman of the
fpcakers' bureau, and other national
and state party leaders.
Discussing h's campaign informally
with newspapermen, the Democratic
nominee reviewed his speech -making
tours since bis nomination.
"With a few exceptions I have been
Iri every state In the union barring what
Is called the 'solid South.' " he said.
"There is no denying the drift toward
the Democratic party, which followed
revival of the Lcaguc-of-Natlons Issue
several weeks ago.
"Also too much stress cannot be laid
nnon the importance of llcnubllcnn
leaders eom'ng out in favor of the
League of Nations. I am fully confident
of the drift in public sentiment toward
the lensue, and the nspirations of the
Democratic party."
Dlscuvses Hitchcock Reerallon
The governor briefly discussed the
nitchcock reservat'on to AttWe X of
the League-of-Nations covenant. He
aid that this, materially differed from
the Lodge reervutlon on the same sub
ject, but said he had not time to go
fully into the distinctions between them.
"If 1 am elected the country need
not fear that the Senate and I will not
agree on the quet'on of signing article-,
of peace. We will agree, ttnd the reason
,thnt we shall is that there will be a
great many new faces, new Democrats,
flin the Senate chamber."
VS Leaders of the Democratic party last
'night went to Newark or Jersey City,
K. J., to meet the presidential can
didate aud escort him into the city.
The governor's nrrhal here, long
after midnight, was picturesquely cal
cuiated to arouse Inte passersby in the
htrects to a more than ordinary interest
in the event.
Following the closed car in which
Governor Cox was driven from the Jer
sey City school house where he made
his last speech were more than 100
touring cars, from which blazed red
fire and other brilliant pyrotechnics.
At advantageous points along his
route In New Jersey e'aborate displays
of fireworks were set off to provide color
while the procession of flng-dropcd ma
chines filed past, llauked by n motor
cycle police escort.
Arrived at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel, the cnudidnte met Mrs. Cox, who
hnd come from her Dn ton home dur
ing the day to be with the governor
here and accompany him on the last
week of the campaign tour.

Itciwrtcru Follow Car
An automobile wns obtained, nnd with
ano.her automobile following bearing
newspaper renters, the party was
ready to set out on the return trip at
11 MO o clock.
Mr. Wiggins, when asked todny
whether he be'ievcd the report that
Urines was tinder arrest $nd lie had no
Information nnd could not form nn opin
ion. Mrs. Wiggins, however, sold she
thought the suspect might be Urines.
"The only reason for this belief," she
said. "Is that there was no detective
at the Urines home today nor nt the
Woman's Southern Homeopathic Hos
pital, where .Mrs. Urines is undergoing
treatment. I observed this todny when
I WCnt tO Mrs. Hrllinil' nnnphnnnt frtt.
some clothing for her, and took It to
me nospuai. me police havo been
wntchiug both the house and the hos
pital." Mrs. Wiggins was seen ns she left the
hospitnl lifter siting Mrs. Itrlties. Her
limousine stood nt the cuvb waiting for
her. She was lea itifully gownert nna
apparently nt east although there were
circles under her ejes ns though she
had been weeping.
"No," she nnswered n question,
"Mrs. Urines has never mentioned her
on's name to me since the tragedy,
Olid, of course. T hnvn nnl i1t.cujwl If
or brought up the subject with her. Ii
00 noi unow ix sue lias Heard anything
from the boy. I saw iu today's news
papers that police think they have lo
cated Will in Mnrylaud and 1 think
perhaps this Is true.
Knows Little of Caee
"I know little about the case except
what I have read iu the papers. I
haven't seen Will for more than n year.
1 have seen his mother nnd have heard
of Will. I knew he was in the I'ni
verslty this year and that he sold maps
last summer. He did not have to do
that for his mother has un income and
was paying his expenses. He wns n good
boy. I have never heard anything other
than thut about him. It is hard to tell
what might have caused him to act as
he did. It remains to be proved whether
he committed the murder. Perhnps he
was not himslf. There might have been
circumstances, but then, these are only
suppositions. The newspapers kuow
far more about the case than I."
Mr. Wiggins communicated with Mr.
Gray early today, nnd the lawyer Im
mediately got In touch with Major Sam
uel C. Wynne, head of the county de
tectives' office. Mr. Gray spent an
hour with Major Wynne at the latter's
office.
Later Mr. Wiggins nnd Mr. Gray
weut to the Women's Southern Homeo
pathic Hospital, which is nt Uroad nnd
Uaiubridge streets, and hnd a half
hour's conversation with Mrs. Urines.
It was after (his talk, with the mother
of the mi.siftflg'VlVnn student that Mr.
Gray announced that Urines would be
surrendered if the family could get in
touch with him.
Mo'Jier Is Uettcr
"Mrs. Urines is getting better," said
Mr. Wiggins. "Now that Mr. Gray
has been retained ns attorney in the
case, Mrs. Urines refers all questions
to him."
The body of Drewes, his brain pene
trated by n pistol bullet, wus found
propped against a lamppost on Mascher
road, near City line, early Sunday
morning, several hours after he left his
home to meet Urines,
Urines' automobile was found aban
doned at Tulpehocken and Chew streets
Wednesday morning. The automobile
was marked by spots of blood, which
tho police say was Drewes'.
A note written to Drewes while he
wns at Dartmouth, In which Urines nnd
the purchase of nn automobile were
mentioned, Is the best clue the detec
tives have to the Identity of the other
person or persons in the "murder car"
at the time of the shooting.
Note Still Suppressed
They refuse to make public the con
tents of the note, but are known to be
searching for the writer, who they be
lieve can give Information of the where
nbnuts of Urines, nnd who may have
been a witness of the murder.
The note wns turned over to the po
lice along with Drewes' other personal
effects by Howard L. Heath, his room
mate ut Dartmouth, who brought them
here.
Major Wynne, head of the county
detectives, nnd Uelshaw, sav they jmve
ample evidence to support their murder
charge ugainst Urines.
What evidence they have In addition
to tlie bloodstained automobile, his at
tempts tn crndirnte the Htalns nnd his
disappearance, they refuse to state.
Dicwcs "Stoic" Girl
Major Wjnne 'fild they had discov
ered the motive of the crime. He said
no women figured In the case, but
Drewes had "stolen" a girl from Urines
several months ago.
A'thoug'i the detectives will not state
positively that they are working on the
thoon that nutomobile thlcvcH are in
volved in the ca-e, they did admit thut
such might he the case.
J e i 'enant of Detectives LcStraugo,
head of the squad in charge of tracing
stoldi automobiles, made a close cx
nmiunliou of Urines' car and is work
ing to hud out If the automobile was
stolen.
P.n'.e. had the automobile but a few
vweKs. but already had achieved quite
u rcord m a reckless driver.
Urine Is thought to have to'1 '--
in the care to his mother, who
fined in a downtown hospitnl with nei
ouh breakdown, the result, the detec
tives say, of wornment over the murder.
A sergenut of innrincs was arrested
nt Twelfth and Catharine streets by
Detective Comdeco, of the Second and
Christian streets station, inrlv today
on suspicion of being the murderer, but
wns ifleased when he proved his Iden
tity. Pictures of the accused student linie
been sent all over the country, but ho is
thought to be hiding within fifty or
sixty miles of this city. Atlantic Citv
is one of tho places being watched
closely.
A point upon which Detectivo Uel
shaw is working Is a statement by a
number of Drewes' family that Drewes
and Urines were not especially friendly.
Tho two jouthH were in school together
for several years. Drewes got Urines
n job last summer with the firm for
which Drewes was working. The
Drewes family also kuew that Drewes
was to have met Urines to see about a
car he wanted to use ns n jitney at

ALSO WALLOPED "COP"
"Hold-Up" Men and Patrolman Sent
to Hospital -by "Victim"
Deeply engrossed In the task of sub
duing threo assailants, "Doc" Kclcck
ley, 2020 Annln street, was unable to
distinguish friend from foe with the re
sult that a special patrolman, among
others, was forced to seek hospital
treatment.
Tho trouble started at Eighteenth nnd
South streets, when Kelccklcy, It is said,
was accosted by three negroes, who
tried to sell him fake jewelry. His in
difference, it Is said, provoked a free
for all fight. Unable to escape, Ke
leckley, It is said, drew a knife and got
busy. Henry Gatlord. 22 years old, of
New York, fell a victim to a cut In the
back.
As Patrolman J. T. Livcrmon, a ne
gro of the Twelfth and Pine streets sta
tion, came on the scene ho was taken
hy tho cornered man for a fresh assail
ant. A blow from a monkey wrench by Ke
lccklcy caused tho guardian of tho law
to temporarily loso interest In the pro
ceedings. Finally n riot call nnd three
wagonloads of patrolmen ended the af
fair. Livcrmon, Kelccklcy and Gallord
were treated at tho Polyclinic Hospital,
The latter two were arrested.
GIANT NEGRO FIGHTS POLICE
Patrolman Knocked Down Before
Three Overpower Razor Wlelder
Prompt work by the police prevented

Twelfth and South streets. An at
tempt of Patrolman Anderson, of the
Twelfth and Pine streets station, to
prevent James Horicy, a giant negro, of
Twelfth aud Lombard streets, from ex
ercising his skill with a razor started
the fracas, the police say. Anderson
jumped off a trolley car when ho saw
the negro pursuing a woman with n
razor.
The patrolman gave chase and caught
the man at Thirteenth and South
streets. A blow from the negro's fist
dropped Anderson. At thin point a
number of sailors took a hand, while a
crowd of negroes who had been at
tracted by the fight joined the "battle
royal."
Threo patrolmen of the Twelfth and
Pine streets station overpowered the
negro and dispersed the crowd. Magis
trate O'Brien held Horley in $000 ball
for a further hearing.

years old, supports an invalid daugh-
ler UUU uua UUCI lliutt "iu, uiumcicub
success to do it on n government monthly
pension of $30. Mrs. Coll, too, bad her
difficulties, being compelled to work to
support her children.
When the Huntleys gave up their
room at the Coll home, there was a dis
pute over the rent which resulted in

ing stove belonging to Mrs. Huntley.

arrested. The magistrate advanced
Mrs. Coll the amount of her claim and
released her.

stout rope. The Spanish instructor was

bined efforts of n woman employe and

A senr on the abdomen was declared
by the medical examiner to have torn
the result of nn operation several yean
ago. To substantiate tho belief that
the body had been there less than fottj
eight hours was the fact that thcro were
no leaves on it although trees close to
it were dropping their leaves in the
lightest breeze.
There was no jewelry found on the
body nnd tho clothing, of good quality i
nnd for the most part new, gave the.
