HOGSTON KEPT BY LESLIE AS HREMARSHAL Retention Is in Line With ‘Hold Over Policy’ of Governor. JOfr'ftws $4,000 SALARY Department Head Maintains Post ‘Without Benefit of Reappointment.’ Governor Harry G. Leslie has decided to keep Alfred M. Hogston as state Are marshal for the present ■'without benefit of reappointment,” it was learned at the statehouse today. Hogston’s term expired Oct. 1. There has been constant talk of his being replaced. His retention is in line with the “hold over policy” the Governor has pursued in numerous instances, including the state purchasing agent, and secretary of the state printing board. The former office is held by Daly McCoy, former Governor Ed Jackson’s campaign manager, and the latter by Otto Lee. Although Hogston removed his law books from his statehouse office some time ago. in anticipation of his exodus, he now is in charge of remodeling the place completely. This gesture is interpreted as indicative of his continued tenancy. Harvey See Returns The law books were removed to an office in the Lemcke building occupied by G. Harvey See and Walter Bossert. See recently left the position as chief clerk in Hogston’s office. Bossert was onetime head of the anti-Stephensn branch of the Ku-Klux Klan. Since the settlement, under the Leslie plan of continued tenure without reappointment, See has returned. This week he was given the position of educational director of the department. He succeeds Benjamin F. Inman, former state rviator, who has teen transferred by Hogston to the position of investigator in the arson division. Leslie has refused announcements to newspaper men regarding Hogstons’ position, but has told others that he will continue on for the present time.

I^eslie Avoids Criticism Houston was the focal point of criticism during the Governor’s campaign. Being a former conspicious figure in the Ku-Klux Klon, he was the target of attacks and many advisors urged Leslie to get rid of him. Others contended he was an asset. All asserted he was undeniably the “original Leslie man” in the statehouse. He wf,s one of the few statehouse politicians for Leslie in the primary and aided greatly in getting him the nomination at the convention. His whole force was turned to electing Leslie and certain of their activities included distribution of an abusive political pamplet. Leslie's attitude is regarded as intended to avoid criticism by keeping Hogston on the job without any formal announcement of his reappointment for a four-year term. The post pays $4,900. SULLIVAN MAKES TALK Mayor-Elect Thanks Friends for Aid in Campaign. Brief greetings and thanks for the support of his friends in the mayoralty campaign were expressed by Mayor-Elect Reginald H.

PHARISEES ARE BUSY Capitalize Tomb, Scene of ‘Cures’

Hi/ l nited Press MALDEN, Mass., Nov. 14.—Holy Cross cemetery, trampled by the feet of the afflicted, who hoped to find a miraculous cure at the grave of a priest, was yielding to commercialism today. Dawn found several hundred persons at the grave of the Rev. Patrick J. Power, and vague reports about cures that had been effected in the last twenty-four hours kept hope high among the sufferers. Disclosures that some of those who had been reported cured had received only temporary relief did not abate the enthusiasm with which the pilgrims flocked around the shrine.

Meanwhile, shrewd traders established quick-lunch stands at the cemetery gates, and other hawkers passed through the crowds selling souvenir pictures of Father Power, who died obscurely some sixty years ago. Miss Madeline McFarlane, 19, of Chelsea, who had claimed to-have been cured of a crippled right leg, brought to the cemetery an affidavit from Dr. John McPhail of Arlington, stating that an examination had shown that she had completely been cured. Cornell Landry, 8, of Woonsocket, R. 1., was helped to the grave by a uniformed chauffeur. A few

WALZER, United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The stock market, which has undergone a terrific hammering in the last fortnight, came back today on a wave of optimism and a last minute spark set off the necessary buying to give a strong finish to a strong day. United States Steel furnished the spark when it was announced that United States Steel and Bethlehem had settled their patent suit. Steel had been wavering at the edge of 160 for almost two hours. The announcement shot it up to 162 and the entire market gained strength, making one of the best closings in weeks. Steel, however, did not maintain its 162 price, but closed at 160. up 8%. Closing prices, sent up from the floor, showed the market’s finish to be from one to twenty pqints higher than yesterday. Sales, exclusive of odd lota, amounted to 5,556,000 shares. There had been no diminution through the day of the generally improved position of the market. Soar at Opening

The average gain was between five and six points, market values which had tumbled wildly in the great bear movement of the last fortnight recouping some $5,000,000,000. Dealings were large, but they were not as great as Wednesday; however, there were more buyers, who had been cheered by Washington announcements and of optimistic brokerage house reports, than they were sellers." General Electric soared more than 20 points; Westinghouse Electric, 15; American Can, 14; Consolidated Gas, 9; Atchison, 8; American Telephone, 8 'i, and International Telephone, 11 points. Bethlehem Steel was up 5, after announcement of settlement of the patent suit. On the floor of the exchange, a changed group was operating today. The din was louder. Smiles were broader. A great weight seemed to have been lifted. Back slapping again was indulged in and friendly conversation w T as carried on. Ridding More Keen Bidding was keener today for the leading stocks and the strength in those issues helped the entire list. Auburn Auto, a wide mover, soared sensationally, and elsewhere the more highly volatile issues spurted 10 to 20 points. The bears turned tails after they had covered their short commitments at higher prices than they could have obtained Wednesday. Small orders were coming from all parts of the country over the network of brokerage wires. Tickers ran behind on these small orders after the initial blocks ranging to 40.000 shares had been cleaned up. A few openings required considerable time to execute. These included Kennecott .which came out late at 59 s 4, up 914, on 15,000 shares, and Woolworth at 62-14, up 1014 on 12,000 shares.
