All Indications to-day pointed to the belief that the real battle to keep Harry K. Thaw from being returned to the Matteawan (N. Y.) Asylum for the Criminal Insane finally will be fought out on United States soil. David Reynolds, one of the two im migration inspectors detailed on the case by the Dominion Government, declared positively to-day that Thaw will be deported next Wednesday into New Hampshire or Vermont. “Thaw has lost his case before he really began to fight,” said Mr. Rey nolds. “The future events are clear.

A court of inquiry then'will be held and It then will be decided that Thaw is an undesirable alien citizen. Thaw will be represented by coun sel at this sitting of the court an<¥ will protest against deportation, de manding that the Government prove him insane. The Government expects to do this, but will allow- no time to be wasted in the process. Papers have been received here from New York State by which the Govern ment’s representatives hope to show Thaw a mental incompetent. Canada then will have washed its hands of the case and the fight will be transferred to the United States. Changes Mind Frequently. However, if Thaw determines to remain on this side pf the border and fight his case to a finish, he might be able, through technicalities, to remain here indefinitely. The fugitive has angered his law yers by his erratic demands. At times he w-ill domineer his high-paid coun selors, and then he will suddenly turn about and adopt an air of meek ness. First, he will declare that speed is necessary, and then will fol low this with a request that every technicality be exhausted so that the fight may be prolonged. He has changed his mind a dozen times since he was placed in jail. Thaw's anger has been increased by the threats of his companion. “Ed ucated Roger” Thompson, the New York chauffeur, to “squeal.” Thomp son is in jail on the charge of aiding and abetting an undesirable alien to enter this country, and demands that the Thaw law-yers get bond for him. “Squeal,” screamed Thaw, when he was told of Thompson's threat. “He has no information of a damaging character against me. He can’t get me in any worse. Let him squeal and be d—d.” Perry Ship Replica Is Damaged by Fire CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—The manage ment of the Perry Centennial cele bration and second annual water car nival to-day refused to discuss the toss by fire of a $16,000 display boat and heavy damage by fire to a replica of the Perry flagship Niagara.
