Willmott, who died several hours before his ship, the Morro Castle, was swept by fire, had met foul play, were spiked Wednesday by an officer of the liner. Howard’ Hansen, fourth officer of the liner, told the department of com- merce board investigating the disaster that he had been summoned to the dead captain’s room, that he had tried to revive him unsuccessfully. “And were there arty marks of vio- lence on Captain Willmott’s body?” asked Karl C. Nielsen, Hull inspector. “Not that I saw,” was the answer. Rumors that Captain Willmott had died of unnatural causes, probably through poisoning, were responsible for analysis of his charred remains. The final order from the bridge of the burning liner would have left the ship turning crazily in circle, it was adduced from the log of William W. Tripp, cadet engineer of the Morro Castle. It showed that the last order telegraphed from the bridge called for: “Full speed ahead on the starboard engine; full speed astern on the port Federal authorities investigated Wednesday a charge that members of the crew of the ill-fated Morro Castle had been threatened with the black- list if they tell the truth about the disaster. a The charge was given to United States Attorney Martin Conboy by William L.

Greene Get Majorities But Lack Strength Milwaukee, Wis.. Sept. 19.—(R)— The Democratic state ticket, strongly in support of President Roosevelt and the “New Deak’ apparently polled the biggest vote in the Wisconsin primary election Tuesday, leaving the new La- Follette Progressive party and the Republicans behind at the rate of about 18 votes to a precinct. This was indicated by returns from all but 500 of 2.916 precincts. Governor Albert G. Schmedeman had a heavy plurality over two oppo- nents for the Democratic guberna- torial nomination with more than half of the state reported. On the other state tickets, Philip F. LaFollette, Progressive candidate for governor and Howard T. Greene, Re- Publican candidate had substantial majorities over their opponents but fell short of meeting the Democratic voting strength. ‘The Progressives and Republicans, who until this year fought their pri- mary battles in the same party col- umn, were running about even in their share of the balloting. Only ‘500,000 Vote The voters themselves furnished the big surprise of the election by failing to respond to the general plea for a large turn-out. Available returns in- dicated that not many more than 500,000 total votes were cast, compared with 900,000 in the primary of two years ago and 1,200,000 in the general election. This left a large army of electors from whom no expression of sentiment was received. In the Democratic gubernatorial ts gave: Schmed- eman 141,849; William’ B. Rubin 25,- 359; Richard Lehmann, 12,738. For the Progressive gubernatorial nomination 2388 precincts gave La- Follette 120,425; Henry ©. Meisel 6080. For the Republican nomination for gevernor 2388 precincts gave Green 72,443; Fred R. Zimmerman 44,593; James N. Tittemore 9719. Senator LaFollette, without opposi- © tion, polled 107,438 votes in 2519 pre- cincts. John M. Callahan held a lead over his| nearest rival for the Democratic senatorial nomination. The Socialist had no contests for governor or senator. The nominees are George M. Nelson for governor and James P. Sheehan for the senate.

Damage from Monday's disastrous fire was placed at $3,000,000 by the city council and business men. In near freezing temperatures amid scenes of blackened ruin, city and federal agencies worked arrang- ing more permanent places for the several hundreds of homeless to live. The food supply which must be used sparingly until replenishments arrive in vessels from the states, was being rapidly depleted. Pledges and moves to bring aid here from the “outside,” by federal, Red Cross, territorial and other groups. brought cheer to the stricken city. At Juneau Governor Troy called upon the government to allocate $50,000 of FERA funds immediately.
