WW9 9 4 TO TRADE IN Dtll DECISIVENESS OF MORROW VICTORY CAUSES COMMENT Jersey Nominee Foreseen as Leader of "Wet 0 Movement, Possible Presidential Timber My RAYMOND CLAPPER (United Press staff Correspondent) Washington, June new uncertainty, holding possibilities of major complications, entered the national political situation today with the overwhelming victory of Dwlght W. Morrow in the New Jersey Republican senatorial primary. WIFE ADMITS H. H. SHROEDER IS STILL ALIVE Mobile, june Harold Herbert Schroeder, local business man.

supposedly burned to death, in an automobile near Indianapolis May si, Is alive, Mrs. Leah Schroeder, his wife, told Sheriff Winkler of Marlon County Indiana here tonight. A charred body found in the ruins of the automobile was identified as that of Schroeder. Later reports Washington had expected that he from southern Ues that he might win. But it never dreamed that bcen seen smce the flre re he would do it by a margin of two cxtciish search for hlm and a half to one against the combined strength of former Senator Joseph S.

Frelinghuysen, who ran as modiflcationist, and Rep. Franklin Fort, an intimate of President Hoover who ran as a dry. That he should sweep every single county in the. state in the primary of a party which contains the principal dry vote in New Jersey, and that he After questioning, Mrs. Schroeder admitted to Sheriff Winkler and Deputy Thomas Rlley that she had received two letters from her husband since June 1, the United Press was Informed tonight.

I Sheriff Winkler refused to divulge the whereabouts of ScHroeder if i known. I Mrs. Schroeder said the letters tally unexpected here. The New Jersey vote for Morrow, Who declared flatly for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, and for Fre- linghuysen. who favored modification, as against the dry vote mustered by Fort tallied to the exact per cent with the results from New Jersey in the Literary Digest poll, a fact which also gave politicians here cause for thought.

This modest little man, who until three years ago was engrossed in the affairs of J. P. Morgan by day and in books of history and philosophy by night, appeared on the national horizon today the center of excitement and interest as intense In the political world as that which was precipitated by his famous son-in-law. Col. Lindbergh, when he arrived over Paris on a May evening.

Two questions absorbed Washington today as Morrow's victory was put under post-mortem discussion around lobbies here. First, whether he will lead the anti-prohibitionists in a fight ito repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, if he is elected to the Senate in November; second, whether he will be a factor in the Republican presidential fight in 1932. Until now the anti-prohibition movement has been largely in the hands of extremists, some of them with little political acumen and none possessing any strong popular backing such as Morrow has commanded in New Jersey. Morrow was opposed by one wet candidate, former Senator Joseph Frelinghusey, and one dry, Rep. Franklin Fort, and intimate of President Hoover.

Drys threw their full organized strength behind Fort in an effort to beat Morrow at all costs. He polled more than a 2 1-2 to 1 vote over the combined strength of his opponents, a showing that hardly anyone in Washington anticipated. It is regarded here as indicting tremendous personal popularity for Morrow and equal popularity of his outright stand against federal prohibition. Drys emphasize that it was a personal tribute, but the majority of politicians, knowing the chief dry strength in New Jersey is in the Republican parly, see in the result an unexpected protest by New Jersey Republicans against prohibition. Coming at a time when President Hoover is encountering many difficulties, arising partly from his approval of the tariff bill, which wax opposed by many influential men, and partly from the general economic depression, many are tainting of Morrow in presidential I Morrow, like Mr.
