MOSES-BASS FIGHT | | Purported Dry Survey Turns| Into Expense Probe—Third Candidate Inactive. By the Associated Pre / | CONCORD, N. H., September 4.—A | three-cornered fight for the Repub- lican nomination for United States Senator and a mysterious “investiga- tion” that began as a prohibition sen timent survey and ended as a cam paign expenditure probe, have been the enlivening features of New Hamp- | shire's campaign for next Tuesday's | primary election. In the senatorial race, Senator George H. Moses is opposed by former Gov. Robert P. Bass and George K. W. Remick, former judge fof the State Supreme Court. Senator Moses has stood on his record, while former Gov. Bass has countered with charges of disloyalty to the, administration. Judge Remick has made no apprecia- ble campaign effort. On_the Democratic side Robert C. Murchie of Concord, an attorney, is considered certain of the sepatorial nomination, while Mayor Eaton D. Sargent of Nashua is unopposed for the gubernatorial nomination. Gov. John G. Winant, Republican, is seeking to overthrow New Hamp- shire precedent by gaining re-election. New Hampshire never has re-elected a governor since the 2.yelr term was adopted in 1878. His primary oppo- nent is Huntley N. Spaulding, chair- man of the State Board of Education. The investigation mystery appeared three weeks ago when William Bar- bour, styling himself as director of community service of a private de- tective agency, arrived in the State for a prohibition survey. Later it was reported that he was working with a corps of about 18 men in an investi- gation of campaign expenditures. Excitement caused by the investi- gation reached the peak when Gov. Winant ,ordered the attorney general to investigate the investigators and the report was made from ex-Gov.
