Quay AMI his son. who taG been in town
all morning, went over to the city hall with
Lawyer a. S. L. Shields and David H.
Lane. The l: tier entered 5000 bail for
each for a preliminary hearing at the cen
trail police station tomorrow noon.
Neither tie senior senator nor his son
appeared affected by the charges publicly
made against them. They had just come
up from At!antic City, and had evidently
rot dressed up for the occasion Indeed, it
did not seem to be one of heartfelt Interest
to theTn-jlSt little business trarisac ton
that took n few minutes of their time.
They declined to submit to anything like
an interview, declaring IL at they would say
what they have to say at the proper time
and place.
The senator had one forcible comment to
make upon the situation, however Il
thought they would keep on fighting 1t out
in the newspapers instead of going TO
court, ne said.
Lawyer Shields declared that he was go
ing cunning for the political villain back
of 1t all. and intimated that ii would act as
a boomerang.
Others Expected Soon.
The necessity OF formally arrestng the
senator and his son being thus aided hy
their giving themselves up, the question CT
where the other accused men are and
whether they would get here in time to ap-
pear for a hearing became a matter of IN
tc:est. Forrer State Treasurer Haywood
is in the west. where he has been for sew
eral weeks, while Lawyer Mckee IS in New
York.
1t is claimed by friends of both tnat no.
tice of their heirg wanted will be all that
i necessary TO bring them here, and that
PlnkertOns will not have to be sent after
them with requisitiun papers, for 1t was
with private detectives and not with MEM
bors of the city force that the warrants
were intrusted.
Politicians Are GUESSING
Among the politicians generally it was
the popular belief that the prosecution at
this time is big camIaign card. Some
Lame the democrats some the reformers-
all. of course, deny that they had d hand
