"There Is no need for talk of a scandal In the murder of Mr. Dilworth," says Miss Mary McNIff, the young woman who was riding in an automobile with the lawyer when he was shot and killed on a lonely road in Van Cortlandt Park. "I am the head of a business which required a lawyer's services. The relations between Mr. Dilworth and myself were merely those of a lawyer and his client. It was the first time I had ever gone motoring with him and I did so then only to talk over business matters. During the trip Mr. Dilworth mentioned the fact that his wife and child were out West- He did it with the reverence and affection of a man who is devoted to his wife and family, I know nothing of his private affairs. I am just a victim of unfortunate circumstances."

Lowden and Morton D. Hull made their final appeals to voters today. So close have the three men run during the campaign that on the eve of the election, no one besides the most flagrant partisan would make any prediction as to the outcome. . ; Republicans are also encouraged by what threatens to become a . most serious split in the Democratic ranks Governor Edward F. Dunne was endorsed by the Democratic state convention and until two days ago had no opposition for re-nomination. But the Sullivan wing of the party pulled an eleventh hour surprise by putting up William Brinton with the subsequent result' that much bitter feeling has been engendered.

BRAND JURORS REPORT FARM IP GOOD SKAP

When the grand jury started on its investigation of the. county institutions yesterday, the members had planned to recommend the erection of an insane ward on the county poor farm to relieve the county jail and Home of Friendless from caring for the county's insane.

It was found that at both the county jail and the Home of the Friendless the insane people are kept in such a way that they do not annoy the other inmates. . The matron of the woman's jail said that if the in sane were put in a separate institu tion it would remove a valuable source of income from the Home for the Friendless. The grand jury in its report this afternoon stated that all the institutions were in fine condition. Water pipes at the jail and the Home for the friendless need several repairs, however.
