Raleigh, Aug. 16.—The possibility that John Sprunt Hill, of urham, may become a candidate for governor in 1963 is arousing much interest in political circles here, according to comment heard the last fe- days. For while Mr. Hill has not made any def inite announcement as to whether he will or will not enter th* contest, re pors ftrom reliable sources during the past week indicate that he is un doubtedly toying with the idea.

But those close to Mr. Hill maintain he has already indicat ed that if neither Hoey nor Doughton become candidates and Lieutenant Governor A. H.

(Jp)— As the 48th hour after the kidnaping of John F Laßatt, wealthy brewer, passed to day, a tense silence enveloping the hotel room where Hugh Laßatt await ed word from his missing brothei. It appeared certain that no personal contact had been made between Hugh, who was supposed to have $150,000 with him, and the kidnapers, who de manded that amount of ransom. The brother, believed named as go between, left this morning after an all-night vigil. In early morning telephone conversations over a period of two hours, he talked three times to the kidnapers. In the second conversation, Laßatt said, “I can’t get out alone tnls morn ing. The corridor outside my room is full of people.” Soon there came the third insistent ring. ‘ Should I answer it?” Laßatt ask ed Chief Inspector Miller, of Ontario police. ‘‘Yes,’’ Miller replied. The nature of this conversation was not revealed. Miller and Inspector Burnette, of the provincial pqiice, soon left the hotel, saying they were going to get some “shut-eye”. Burnette carried a notebook containing a list of tele phone exchanges. It was believed a check on the calls was under way. The term ‘‘New York racketeers” was used by Miller in a telephone conversation with anotner police offi cial in which he reported on Laßatt’s call.
