SHORE MYSTERY DEEPENS
Detectives Now Delleve Enemies
Killed Hotel Clerk
Atlantic CU.v, April 10. Polire
officials say that further investi
gation, whlln deeping the nivstery
surrounding tlip death of Helnrich von
Iliekler, storeroom clerk at the Hotel
St. Cliarle. now led to the belief that
the man was a victim of enemies with
motives apart from robbery. ,
The body of Von Illckler. n German
alien, known here for three years iiuiler
the name of Henry Buchler. was found
on an ash heap in the outskirts of the
city by a trolley crew. The skull was
crushed. It is known that the man
inrrled a large sum of money at times.
Council members nlmost unnnimnusly
today declared Mayor Moore should
drive out Into the orien the "certain
men" Im mentioned as handed together
to foster gambling and vice In this city.
The Major's reference to llie "certain
men" while addressing the Colonial
Damen last Tuesday has aroused wide
spread interest mining citizens of nearly
every shnde of political opinion.
Mr. Moore's declaration thnt com
promise with "certnln men" would
smooth his official pathway has" caused
the question to be asked In many quar
ters, "Who are the' certain men?"
"Spealt Up," Says. Walter
A reply from the Mayor to that
question, it is said, would roll the
stone from all the underground "wire
pullers" and political scuttlers, who
put the profits of organized vice and
gambling above the desire of the ma
jority here for a clean city. k
"I think the Mayor should give the
nnmes out," snid Councilman Simon
Walter, a protege of David II. I.ane,
veteran "boss" of the Twentieth Ward.
"I haven't nny idea who he means.
but the Major throws suspicion on
everj- one In politics by keeping silent.
He owes It to himself nnd to the poll,
tlclans to tcK the nnmes of the 'cer
tain men' lie has in mind.
"It seems to me he should nnme the
men, if only for the purpose of getting
the bed of roses he spoke of,"
Councilman, Von Tngen. an Admin
istration supporter, said he has an Idea
who the "certain men" are.
"But I am not going to talk nbout
It because my idea may R; correct or
erroneous," he added.
"Name 'Km." Pommer Urges
"Let him name 'cm," was the com
ment of Councilman I'ommcr, n Vare
lieutenant.
Councilman 1-imeburner said he did
not care whether the Mayor named the
men or not. v
Connciliunn Montgomery, who is gcif
erallv regarded as a friend of Judge
Iirown. of the Municipal Court, de
clMcdliht'men should be named bj; the
Mayor. ' . , ' "" ., . '",".
"i-am not interested In gambling,
he said. "I never saw n roulette wheel
and never played a game of poker, but
if I made such a stutement ns the
Mayor did. I would certainly mention
the' names." ,.
Councilman Develin said be would

thot It probably ly'ould be Impossible to

Mr. Hoover Is president of the Coun

tn New York on sudden business nnd
had not expected to prrtdde until this
afternoon. He returned In time, how
ever, to come Into the meeting nt 11
o'clock when he wn greeted with en
thusiastic applause.
"There is n distinct feeling In Wash

iiicmpmg net ween Secretan Hughes
and Secretary Fall upon the adminis
tration's Mexican policy.
Here ate the facts. It ,,-ag mglc
known at the State Department yes
terdaj that Secretary Hughes had for
undated no policy with regard to .Mex
ico. Mr. Summerlin. the American
'barge d'affaires at Mexico City, has
been summoned here to give Mr. Hughes
the latest Information on Mexican con
ditions it, n view to the formula
tion of o policy.
On the other hand. Secretary Fall
has o po'iej w-iti, regard to Mexico.
His policy has been announced in de
tail. It had been assumed quite gen
crally thnt-'hV'VWy'wouM i,ft the
policy of the Harding administration.
His policy involiPd the use of every
possible pressure upon Mexico, includ
ing the policing of Mexican wntera
and Mexican territori by the armed
forces of the I'mted StatPs in the event
of Obregon's failure to jleld.
Hughes .More Moderate
The indications are that the Hughes
pp'i with regard to Mexico will be
much more moderate and conciliatory
than that of Secretary Fall. Well
authenticated information obtained by
persons interested and in touch with
the administration is that Mr. Hughes
has no intention to go so far a Sec
retary Fall would go.
This difference would nnvp little im
portance if Mr. Fall ,wcrc not the
kind of man he is. Rut the secretary
of the interior is practically a fanatic
upon Mejtiro.
It is understood here on good author,
jty that he told his friends in the Sen
ate when he entered the cabinet that he
was entering it mainly to secure th
adoption of his pulley with regard to
Mexico. He is void to have addpd th
assurance that if lie failed to secure
the adhesion of the goernment to his
Mexican polici he would lea" the cab
inet. Whether Mr. Call will cam nut this
program or not. the language which he
has used to more than one friend re
garding hr- intentions show sins state
of miu,d nn the Mexican question. Prob
ably the MiggoMions of resignation ns
onlj an extreme nnd rhetorical way of
asserting his determination.
