Dr. Wrightson went to Bermuda a month ago for his health and the people saw nothing of him during the campaign, Occasionally messages were recelved from the doctor stating he was improving and expected to be back be- fore election. A week ago the Democratic campalgn committee received definite word from the candidate that he had booked a berth on the Pretoria, of the Quebec Steamship Line, and would arrive in New York to-day. Accordingly a committee of leading Democrats were at the steamship pler this forenoon to meet him. ‘They waited patiently while the passengers filed down the gangplank, but there was no sign of Dr, Wrightson. After searching the ehip they went to the purser and Were informed hat the name Wrightson did not figure on his passenger list and that the doctor had evidently not come up on the Pretoria Puzzled, the committeemen returned to this city and reported, and a cuble was immediately sent to Bermuda in an effort to locate the doctor. ‘An effort was made to keep his non- appearance a secret, but the news got out.
