Joseph Nemec of Simpsoa tomorrow as the newest development in t he investigation into the death of Alec Miskel, veteran of the world war. who was found shot to death at his home in Simpson. Police officials of Lackawanna county order¬ ed Mrs. Nemec locked up yesterday. She was locked up in a cell near the one occupied In the county jail by her husband who h.as also been arrested In connection with the case. When Mrs. Nemec waa taken to jail, she Insisted on taking along with her five young children. An effort waa made to Hcparafe her from the children, but she hecame so hysterical that the only way to quiet her was to p>ermlt the j youngsters to be imprisoned with her. j At the same time two other children j were found to he suffering from meuKlPH. They were taken in charge by health authorities and committed to an Institution for treatment. .Miskel. a young man who returned last year from overseas service in the army, waa found dead in his room in the home of the Nemec couple where he had roomed for some months. By his side was a revolver. The bullet had struck him under the left eye and trav t;ing upward had iienetrated the bain. The first arrest made by the police v;.s that of the woman's husband. It v.M.s the result of information grfven the police to the effect that the young sol- uier and the woman were known by the husband to be infatuated with each other. An investigation is being made to determine whether Nemec in at- tv'nipt to end his domestic unhapplness ileeuled lo remove the star boarder by ihe death loiite. \\nien Mrs. Nemec waa arrested, she protested that she loved the young soldier and that if anyone had killed him, it was her husband. She claimed over and agai i that her husband was the assailant. Up to the present time she has not advanced any proof of her claim, which is the most puzzling part of the whole mystery, officials claim.

June 5.—Herbert Hoover's managers tonight were making careful plans for a drive which they hoped will win him the nomination. Hoover stock rose today as a result of these preparations and several other developments. Announcement that Senator Boies Penrose will not attend the convention means that Hoover's bitterest enemy in the inner councils of the party will be absent from the scene, y j The continued deadlock of active can¬ didates will .Tid the chances of the for¬ mer food adniinistrittor, hia managers said.

Penrose Is the Republican national committeeman and one of the state's twelve delegates at large. It has been frequently said that Penro.se. propped in an arm chair had done a, vast amount of dictation .ind correspondence dur- 'ng the past two weks. This, it is be¬ lieve, may have brought about,the re¬ lapse. In a bulletin is.sued by his physician* earlier jn the day. it was announced that Penroae would not go to the con- vtritlon. .^ member of the Senator's office force, however, will be in ('hicago and will man the wire connected direct¬ ly with Penro.se'a room. It became practically certain for a time that Penrose would make the trip to Chic;.^o. in fpite of his doctors coun- sel."* that he remain at home and keep in touch with affairs by a le,-i»ed tele¬ graph wire. All the neceaaary arrange¬ ments had been made. His private car was rea,dy and a specially constructed seat was built for the sick Fonator, as it is reported he cannot lie down. There will undoubtedly be much con¬ jecture as to who will assume the Pen- ro.se mantle ,it Chicago should his con¬ dition not -pemart him tor talte even the slightest interest in the events there. Political leaders here predict perfect harmo.py within the Pennsylvani-i fold anyhow, by reason of 5?«»nator Knox's statement this afternoon endorsing the state delegation's stand toward Gov¬ ernor Sproul. Knox Supports Sproul Knox himself is considered a candi¬ date having iM'en declared tho choice of Penrose by Penrose himself. Knox In his statement denied rumors that he was against Sproul and cLiased as "absurd" stories that his absence from the Chicago convention was "because of the endors<'mp.nt given Governor Sproul by the Pennsylvania delega¬ tion." Following ia the full text of the Knox statement: "If I were not compelled to absent myself from the Chicago con- ve.iiion by personal business rea.<>ons which demand my immediate attention. I would Vote for (Jovernor Sproul. I Wlil, however, be represented at Chicago by an alternate.—Judge James H. Reed, cf llttsburg—who shares my views that the Republican party could not name a better man than Governor Sprvwl for President •The attempts to twist my enforced absence'from the Chicago convention into a story that I ara not going be¬ cause of the eadorsvment given Gov¬ ernor Sproul by the Republican dele¬ gation is utterly absurd. Nothing could be more untrue and ridiculous. I have the warmest admiration for Governor Sproul and for his splendid quaJitlea aa a m.in and a leader. His Rt^publi- canlsm and his administration and legislative experience and ability can b« questioned by no one. "I regret I cannot bo at Chicago, tot I would like to have the privilege of casting my vot* for Governor Sprout I will, howpver. b# w*n represented there by Jnage James H. R«!d an^ 1 trust my friend.s will clearly ur der¬ stand I am for Governor Sproul and would personally vote for him but fot Virginia i the neres.sity of my remaimng awaj fmm the convention."
