Messrs. Henry o. Iiayemeyer. the presI

the sugar trust. also arrived here tonight.
The trial OF their cases is set for tomar-
row. With them were Messrs. John Il.

ton during the evening of the attorneys,
which included Nathaniel Wilson, the
Washington attorney of the trust. and
Judge Dittenhoefer,
The probability is that an attempt will
be made when the cases are called TO-
morrow to secure a postponement for
time on the ground that counsel are not
ready to proceed. District Attorney Davis
is anxious to push the trial, however,
and considerable doubt Is felt whether he
will consent to delay except for few
days.
There was a rumor tonight that Messrs
Ilavemeyer and Searles had decided TO
plead guilty to the charge of refusing TO
answer questions propounded by the SEN
ate committee. but would raise the issue
that the questions were such as the COM
mittee had no right TO ask II was i'm
possible to obtain any Information on this
subject however. as the attorneys in the
case decline to discuss the matter.
