The party will land at La Liber-tad, Salvador, and will make the trip to the Honduran capital by train or automobl-a. It is expected they will arrive la Tegucigalpa about May 17.

On request of Sheriff Traeger, the Board of Supervisors authorized an ipnropnation which will unabl the Undersheriff to be accompanied by a Deputy Sheriff Gov. Richardson previously authorized the expenses cf the undersheriff and his wife to be paid out of State funds. I RIDICULE CAFFEE REPORT Deputy Hunter was selected as a third member of the party on request of Undersheriff Biscailuz. Before becoming a Deputy Sheriff, Mr. Hunter was employed (as an Investigates in the office of the District Attorney.

Reports that the second woman uow being held in the Honduran capital was Peggy Caftee, star witness for the State in the trial of Mrs. Phillips, were ridiculed by officials here yesterday. It is known that Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Caffee are Ditter enimies and the possibility of the latter being the companion of the hammer murderess in flight for fresdom never has been considered.

Armour Phillips, husband of the hammer murderess, appeared at tHB SherlfTs office yesterday and expressed consternation over printed reports" that his wife was to be returned in chains. "I surely wish I could be permitted to accompany the party to Teguciagalpa, he said, "as I am greatly worried about these reports." Phillips also discounted reports that Peggy Caffee was the second woman in custody In Tegucigalpa. PHOTOGRAPHS SOUGHT A letter was received by Sheriff Traeger yesterday from Houston, regarding Etta Mae Jackson, Bister of Mrs. Phillips, who left here several weeks ago, presumably for Mexico. The letter stated that Mrs.

Jackson's true name was "liniow" and that she made frequent trips to the south- ern republic. The identity of the Informant was withheld by the Sheriff. A telegram from Charles Forbes, a mining man now 1m Mexico City, was received by Sheriff Tracer Saturday asking for photographs of Mrs. Phillips and Carson. Because of an error in spelling, the telegram was construed as meaning Clara Phillips was at present In Mexico City.

The telegram read: "Send photographs of Clara Phillips and Jesse Carson. Police have none. Regis Hotel." EXTENSION PROMISED candidates, and tonight we are looking forward to his election tomorrow by a plurality of not less than 10,000 votes. The larger the total vote the larger his margin." The other candidates are hardly less confident. Miss Galpin and Mr.

Barlett are each sure of victory, they stated, and Mr. Osborne Indicated his stout belief that the high post will remain in the Osborne family. Leaders at the Cryer-for-Mayor headquarters at the Angelus Hotel say the Mayor will get a large vote today. At the primaries two years ago he received 31.288 votes and at the June city election his vote was 54,640. On a basis of 100,000 votes to be cast today, Mr.

Turney declares Mayor Cryer should receive more than 60.000, which, if it comes to pass, will mean his election at the primaries. Even the most ardent supporters of the other four candidates would not predict that all four of them would receive an aggregate of 60,000 votes. The Mayor's principal competitor is Bert Farmer, who says he will be nominated easily. E. H.

Hancock Is confident of a place on the ticket, but no more so than Ralph Knapp and Edward E. Moore, the other candidates, 1 City Clerk Domlngnea yesterday predicted that the city vote will be about 100,000, or 40 per cent of the registered vote, while others declared that on account of the interest In the Tenth Congress District candidates' battle and In the McAdoo-iHellman bus issue (Propositions Nos. 5 and 6) the vote may exceed 100,000, and that half or more of the registered vote may be polled. At the primaries two years ago 80.000 votes were cast for the Mayoralty candidate. Kay Turney and O.

II. W. Robinson, campaign managers for Mayor Cryer and Capt. Fredericks, respectively, were rounding up workers and automobiles to be assigned to the various precincts today, with orders to bring every available vote to the polls. Officers of the Traffic Betterment League, which Is opposing the Mo Adoo-Hellman motor bus proposition (Nos.

5 and 6.) yesterday predicted a defeat for the eastern promoters who are seeking to use 100 miles of the city streets. Including the downtown congested district, for the next twenty-one years Even in Hollywood, where the McAdoo-Hellnmn promoters have worked the hardest to secure support, the league men said that a door-to-door canvass showed almost unanimous opposition to the Independent busses being granted the use of the already over-Crowded streets. At bus headquarters it was predicted that both propositions will carry by a sale margin, SEE FREDERICKS VICTOR At the Frederlcks-for-Congress headquarters in the Pacific Mutual Building everyone was confident yesterday that Capt. Fredericks would receive a substantial majority today over his five opponents, Alfred L. Bartlett, Lloy Galpln.

Henry Z. Osborne, Frank A. McDonald and John C. Belt "We are predicting Capt. Frede-ricks's election by a safe plurality," Mr.

Robinson declared last night. "He can only defeated through overconndence and the failure of friends to visit the polls. Capt Fredericks has held the lead In the Congresalonal campaign from the first week, but there Is danger that he may lose the election through apathy on the part of supporters who are prone to take It tor granted that he will win by a huge majority, so we urge all voters to go to the polls. "Capt. Fredericks has gained steadily and consistently.

Support has come to him from sources which we early In the campaign feared might be thrown to other OF LINES SEEN Unification, of Red and Yel low Systems Expected Joint Application Filed for Bus Permits Plan is for Low Fares and Universal Transfers Consolidation of the Pacific Electric and Los Angeles Railway lines as soon as the sarvey of the two systems is finished Is regarded as a certainty by officials of the two companies, it was disclosed yesterday when a Joint amended application for motor bus routes was filed by the companies with the Board of Public Utilities.

Fred Casalicchio Accused of Brutal Murder Arrest Made Week Ago Kepi Secret by Police i Habeas Corpus Writ to Free Prisoner Faili Solution of the mystery surrounding the hatchet murder of Munzlo Spaminata on April 1, last, in a lonely ravine on the Emory ranch, six miles northwest of Ful-lerton, appeared likely today as a result of the "arrest of Fred Casalicchio, who is now awaiting trial in the Orange County Jail.

The arrest of the suspect, although made about a week ago, had been kept secret by the police until yesterday. It was disclosed when the asserted slayer was brought before Judge McCormick on a habeas corpus writ. The court denied the application and the suspect was turned over to Sheriff Sam Jernigan of Orange county, who took him to Santa Ana, where he Is awaiting trial. It was disclosed during the hearing that Casalicchio was arrested by Patrolman Box and lodged In the Lincoln Heights Jail, where he had been held lncomunicado until yesterday. It was also dis- tnat ne naa Deen unaer suspicion since the crime.

VICTIM WAS FUGITIVE His arrest came about through revelations made by the victim several days before his death. At that time the murdered man was a i Jgitlve from Justice, having Jumped his bond of $10,000 when lie naa oeen nma lo answer oy Justice Scott on a manslaughter charge growing out of the death of Edward Ruiz. Spamlnta, a few days after he walked ot a local courtroom while attorneys were arranging for bail, is said to have called on a certain police officer in the city and inquired of the latter whether he had received his share of the $7000 which the murdered man said he had given to Cassalicchlo to bribe the police officer and the Judges so that the charge against him would be dropped. The officer told the victim he had heard nothing about the arrangement and threatened to bring charges against Spaminata for his attempt to bribe an officer. Spaminata left In a rage, declaring he would "have It out" with his friend.

It is the theory jf the police that Spaminata called on the asserted slayer and the two quarreled, the fight ending in the fugitive's murder. JBODY MUTILATED This theory Is strengthened by the fact that in the possession of the dead men, when his body was foundf was discovered $265 In cash and an agreement with a local automobile concern to purchase a uRea coupe, a Din ot sale lor an electric piano, costing $S50, a promissory note for $190, a watch and a diamond ring. Thi pockets of the slain man, however, had been turned inside rut, as if the murderer had been in eearcn of a certain document which ti po lice Dellevo revealed the use to which the money was put. The body of the victim was horribly mutilated. A lather's hammer had been used by the murderer.
