Thursday afternoon with Managers Brady,
Madden and others and postponing the
cate for the contest for two or three weeks
SO as TO give time for the case 10 be car
ried to the court OF last resort.
Meantime there is much omment over
the active preparations of Governor Nash
in having two or three regiments OF militia
awaiting orders to proceed to Cincinnati.
1t is claimed that he Will use the military
to enforce the injunction of Judge HOLSTER.
The promoters say they would in no event
attempt TO pull on the event If an injunc-
ton should be issued against them. They
would then appeal the case and postpone
the contest so as 10 give ample time for
carrying the case VI 10 the higher courts.
If Judge HOLSTER should grant an injunc-
tion against the prize fight and not against
such a boxing contest as that for which
Mayor Fleischman has issued his permit
then II is quite probable that the promoters
will go ahead under their original claim
that they propose 10 give a boxing con-
test that comes within the laws of Ohio
and not such a prize fight as would violate
the Ohio laws. In that event IL is expected
by many that Governor Nash would inter-
fere end that there might be serious COM
plications. A similar situation would en-
sue in the event that Judge HOLSTER, who
sits In a court Of equity, should hold that
he had no jurisdiction in a case OF a crimi-
nal nature such as IL is claimed that a
prize fight represents. While there Is much
speculation as to the decree of the court
the consensus OF opinion is that Judge Hol-
lister will assume jurisdiction and grant a
permanent Injunction This will mean such
a postponement as will give time for hear
ings in the Circuit and the Supreme courts.
No radical move is expected on any side
now until after Judge HOLSTER renders his
decision at noon on Thursday. Meantime
it is evident here that the prosecuting at
torney and the sheriff are active in prepar-
ing 10 carry out the orders of the Governor.
While the hearing before Judge Holister
