Nathan Miller, Republican, in the Empire State next week, Some national tides are running here; there wv bo some significance to the votes of the cities here and there which may give comfort to those looking for Nation-wide cu Fents, but it is Al Smith, the self Made man, the fearless public ant, a real personality in American Politics, who will win—not the Dem- Beratic Party Any one who could come near to winning the Governorship In a year when tho Presidentian noniinee of the opposite party carried the State by the unprecedented majority Hon votes would sec to paper at leart, the better chance winning. This would be easy forecast if one wero sure that Smith is as popular to-da two years ago and that Gov. Miller {s not as strong, one thing Gov.

Totally un Uke Hughes, who gained popularity by his spectacular fights against boss tule, unlike any of the other Govern ors who came after Hughes, Al Smith is more of the Cleveland type-—a man of the people.

(Special From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 2.—While Special Deputy At» torney General Mott has not been seen about the court house, both he and his special investigator, Lieut. George Mason of Newark, have gone over the transcript of the long interview of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall with newspaper reporters yesterday Mason, soon’ after his arrival at 9 Brock, had noted for Mr. Mott with a pencil on the margin of the transmit. @he discrepancies which made the latest Interview almost amdsing ane th ioe statements which have preceded It and Wave been sw6rh to by 11, members-of the Stovens family and hotsehold servants, Of such Is the difference between the interview and the first docu- mentary statement siven out for Mrs. Hall a week after the finding of the bodies, in which she said she entered her home in the morning of Sept, 25 at about 3 o'clock with her brotaer William. Miss Sallie Stevens repeated the same statement for her. So did her lawyer, Mr, Pfeiffer. The hour was certainly firmly fixed in her mind, Yesterday she advanced the time to 3.30. Mrs. Hall, in answer to the report- ers’ questions, said she dressed and i went to the church and past the Mills \ home in search of her missing hus band about 2.30 A. M. and returned T home ubout ‘0. Detective Mason said they had two witnesses who ) i would testify that she entered her home at 2.10. ‘These are William Phillips, the Watchman at a college near Hull home, and A, H. Bennett, a neighbor, whose dog barked and got him out of bed when Mrs. Hall passed. Detective Muson sald he would not diseuss other parts'of tho interview until he had read it through, These same two witnesses disagree with Mrs, Hall on another point.
