The search is being made back to January /, 1871
The searchers havo been compelled to make a MAJ
Of all the plots OF ground purchased by Mr. Hoey
showing what lots he has sold to other persons.
The lis pendens filed yesterday sets forth thai
one OF the objects OF suit brought against Mr. Hoey
by Mr.. Sanford Us to declare that the plaintiff ha.
lien upon all property hereunder mentioned.
The document mentions three tracts OF land aggro
gatipg ffy-eght acres and cottages Nos. H. 10, 13

property and fixtures in any hotel thereon, and
in the cottages mentioned. The created con
siderable excitement here to-day among the lawyers
and the officials in the Court House.
The search now being made in the County Clerk,
Office shows that Mr. Hoey owns at least
800 acres of land. There are no deeds
upon record showing that Mr.. Hoey ever conveyed
property TO Mrs. Josephine Hoey. his wife. The
claim made by President Sanford that Mrs. Hoey
executed the mortgage for 100000 which was given
TO the Guarantee Trust and safe Deposit Company is
proven TO be false by the County Clerks official record
The mortgage executed bv Mr.. Hoev and IS dated
April 30, 1896. II covers AZ l-2 acres Of HOLLYWOOD

the searches have gone In their work. there appears
to be no doubt that Mr.. HOey has property enough 10

There are no judgments on reoOM against him, and

the registry books with all OF the blanks hleo except
that stating as to whether not the person named
was a qualified voter This leaves the women
fighting chance at the polsa chance which they say
they propose to take the fullest possible advantage Of
In the aristocratic suburb of Evanston the members
OF the board Of registration did not appear About
100 prominent women met and formulated state
ment setting forth that fact and the further fact that
they had presented themselves for registration but
were prevented from having their names entered by
reason of the boards absence.

the office for three years. $4,000. This fund has
already begun to circulate. The thickly populated
downtown wards show much smaller registration than
usual; in fact the number so much less that IL
caused alarm among the Democratic leaders. The
reason was found to be lack interest the part
Of the voters, most OF whom worhngmen, In tho
