acquainted.
No time was allowed for “eats”
in view of the short stop planned
for Waycross. As soon as the
boosters were gotten together af
ter the hand-shaking at the sta
tion they were given an auto ride
over the main section of Way-
cross. Their trip took them
through parts of the city in which
much work was under way and
where a great deal had been done
recently.
Before the auto trip the Boq^U
fZ* ers and a large party of , citizens
^ formed a parade at the union sta
tion, mrching to the Board of
Trade jvhere an informal reccp-
.tion and “gab” feast was held.
The parade was headed by Secre

The most optimistic attaches of
the attorney general's office do
not hope to bring about Thaw’s
return withoqt a legal battle over
the rival claims to the governor
ship.
District Attorney Conger of
Dutchess county has notified the
attorney general that the requi
sition papers will be in Albany
tomorrow for executive approval.
Attorney General Carmody was
indignant over the action of the
Canadian authorities in releasing
Thaw without giving notice to
New York state officials.
Acting Gov. Glynn, as soon as
he learned that Thaw had been
deported from Canada, sent dupli
cate telegrams to the governors
of New Hampshire, Maine, Ver
mont and Massachusetts request
ing the detention of the fugitive.
In addition the attorney general
directed William Travers Jerome
and Deputy Franklin Kennedy,
who left Canada yesterday, to
proceed at once to New Hunp-
shire and continue their efforts
to have Thaw returned to thia
state.

Hunry C. Hammond refused to
continue the case.
The application for a continu

Hammond from Thomas W. Hard
wick, congressman from the
Tenth district. Mr. Hardwick is
in Washington. He stated ho had
been retained to defend Mrs. Go-
bee and asked that the tidal be
continued until he eould get there
Judge Hammond refused.
Hardwick's Request Refused.
It is understood Mr. Hardwiek
wanted to stay in Washington un
til thy currency bill is passed by
tho House. He also wanted furth
er time in whieh to familiarize
himself with the ease. His mes
sage was couched in urgent terms,
but Judge Hammond did not con
sider that it warranted a continu
ance. /
No formal application for a
continuance was made. Few knew
of tho telegram or tho reply. It
would not be surprising, however,
if a motion is made by tho de
fense today. It is believed it will
meet a similar fate. James A.
