Strict government censorship in the last few wecks has shrowded in vaguencss conditions in Brazil, where President Bernardes has been struggling to hold his post against revolutionists. The following dis- patch. sent ot of Brazil by courier, forecasts another uprising more dis- astrous to the present government than the Sao Pauwlo affair. or the more recent plot—nipped in the bud n Rio de Janciro—to overthrow and imprison the President. BY CLAUDE 0. PIK Bis_Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News RIO DE JANEIRO, October 21 (via Buenos Aires, October 30).—The ar- rest Monday night (October 20) of Lieut. Protogenes Guimares and sev- eral other naval officers disclosed an alleged plot to initiate another revo- lution in Rio de Janelro and over- throw the Bernardes regime. The government is making a strong ef- fort to keep secret the identity of those uccused, but they are known to include permanent naval officers. Guimares, who is reported to have admitted that he was the brains of the latest movement, was formerly in charge of the naval aviation service. During the Sao Paulo revolution in July he was an aide to Admiral Peni- do, and in charge of the guns at the naval sector of“the front at Sao Paulo, Planned to Shell Palace. The government issued a statement to the press today. seeking to belittie this latest attempt to overthrow the regime, but it develops that the plans were of wide scope, including the firing of a shell from a battleship in the Rio de Janeiro harbor into the presidential palace at 2 o'clock this morning. The date of the uprising was quite generally discussed in advance in the streets of Rio, although the nature of the plans was kept secret. At 11 o'clock Monday night Guimares and his colleagues were arrested by the military police. The conspirators | were reported to have planned to sta- tion in sections of Rio a number of former students of the naval acad- emy discharged two years ago for participation in an attempted revo- lution, expecting them to cause a general uprising in the city today by getting the military to join the move- ment to oust President Bernardes. All Wires Cut. that It was expected Bernardes I would flee to a battleship, inasmuch as the navy was until now considered loyal to the administration. The con- spirators planned to take the Presi- dent prisoner, deport him, and set up a junta made up of army and navy men. All telephone and telegraph wires between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro were cut, indicating that it was planned to have Sao Paulo join the movement should it succeed in Rio de Janeiro. - It is considered questionable now whether the Bernardes regime can hold out much longer if disloyalty and dissatisfaction really have spread Practically all of Brazil is under martial law, and unless both the army and the navy remain loyal it scems impossible that the present regime can carry on. Ultipatum Ix Reported. The Naval Club is reported, after a stormy session, to have issued an ul- timatum to President Bernardes to release Lieut. Guimares and his col- leagues, who are charged with plot- ting the overthrow of the govern- ment. The members of the club and the government are malntaining the strictest silence.

NEW YORK, October 30.—It is pretty thin gruel the Republicans are feeding themselves in their expecta- tions of beating Gov. Al Smith for the governorship, outside of their hope of President Coolidge polling such a heavy presidential vote as will carry along Col. Roosevelt with him. In fact, when it comes down to brass tacks, that is all they have to de- pend upon for nourishment, and the size of the probable Coolidge plu- rality is entirely speculative, ranging all the way from 500,000 to as high as a possible 1,000,000. & President Harding carried the State by 1,100,000 in 1920. That swept Mil- ler, Republican, into the governorship by 72,000, The Republicans have been counting on Col. Roosevelt get- ting the disgruntled stay-at-home vote which Miller missed in 1920 They hope it will come back with Coolldge and have been waiting for the last weeks' registration to indi- cate its return. Publication of the figures indicate possibility of some of that vote coming back, but in a very meager dribble contrasted with the overwhelming totals that are promised Gov. Smith down in Greater New York. % Both Votes Increased. The registration in up-State coun- ties, strong Republican districts, shows a gain of about 50,000, which would indicate the Republican gain to be about 17.000. That is declared by the Democrats to be not sufficient to cause Gov. Smith to worry. In Democratic districts gains have been made also. Tammany has a way of being forehanded in these little mat- ters, and saw to it that there should be a registered Democratic vote in readiness to meet this expected in- crease in the Republican registration coming down to the Bronx, to do battle with the expected Democratic plurality there entrenched. For the Democratic managers feel confident that Gov. Smith will in- crease the 400,000 plurality in greater New York of two years ago, which helped to sweep him into the gov- ernorship.

With hearings now practically complete on the local estimates for next year city officials are hoping the budget bureau will find it possible to raise the tentative limit of $31,- 551,505 which was placed on District expenses several months ago. Whether this hope is to be realized will remain unknown at least for several weeks and possibly until the budget is transmitted to Congress the first Monday in December. During the past fortnight the Com- missioners and their department heads have presented to a committee of budget officials the reasons why they believe various items should be added to the limit of $31,551,505 in the form of urgent supplemental esti- mates. $3,000.000 More Sought. These additional estimates aggre- gate about $5,000,000, a considerable part of which is for school and muni- cipal hospital building construction While some provision has been made in the regular estimates for continuing work on the new water conduit and for extending the park system, the city heads are reported to have askediin the supplemental list for additional amounts for these two important developments. At first glance the tentative limit of $31,551,505 seems large in com- parison with the last appropriation, but close to $2,700,000 of the increase is to take care of the salary in- creases that have been granted police, firemen, teachers and other employes since last year. After al- lowing for this, the increased amount for physical development of the city is not as large as it would appear. $800,000 for Streets. It is practically certain that the new estimates will authorize about $800,000 more for the paving of main thoroughfares out of next year's gasoline tax collections, in' addition to the regular allotments for street paving and repairs out of general taxation. While District officials may confer later with budget officials, the formal hearings are finished. . Publisher Hit by Auto. NEW YORK, October 30.—FEdward H. Dodd, 53 years old, of the firm of Dodd.

While Inspector Grant was reluc- tant to go into details concerning the police investigation, he stated, how- ever, that an out-of-town angle would be carefully run down. All evidence and exhibits in the case, in- cluding two letters, are in the hands of the police. One of these letters, signed “From the Furnace,” it has already been definitely established. came from a relative of the slain sentry and contained simply news regarding conditions about his home in which he would be personally in- terested. As far as the three soldiers being held are corcerned, moreover, it was learned definitely that police are simply restraining them from liberty while running out vague portions of accounts of their actions on the night of the murder. Inspector Grant detectives thus far had no tangible clue and could not vet take up a defi- nite trail in the case.
