ABOUT THE CHADWICK CASE,
CARNEGIE WAS READY FOR A
CONFERENCE.

For Some Reason no Federal Repre-
sentative Saw Him, Though Such
Meeting Had Been ExPected-NO
Arrest Has Been Made in New
York, Though Secret Service Men
Still Shadow Mrs. ChadwicIx-She
Moved from the Holland.
New York, Dec. 6.-The expected did
not happen tonight in the Chadwick
case, and all predictions proved at
fault when. at a late hour it was an
nounced that no conference between
federal officers and Andrew Carnegie
had been held at the latter's home.
This turn was surprising, for Mr..
Carnegie had announced in the course
of the day that he would be glad to
receive a federal officer, and it was
supposed that f. F. Oldham, repre-
senting the controller of the treasury,
would meet him tonight, and that the
matter of the notes alleged to have
been given Ira Reynolds of Cleveland,
and said to bear the name of Andrew
Carnegie would be discussed.
AS unexpected as the news that no
conference was held, was the departure
of Mrs. Chadwick from the Holland
House, where she has resided, for the
companied by her son and a maid and
took with her some baggage. Secret
service men who have been at the Hol-
land for several days followed Mrs.
Chadwick.
Andrew Squire, Cleveland attorney
representing Ira Reynolds, made the
announcement tonight after several
| conferences with Receiver Lyon, Pres
ident Oldham and others, that he be-
lieved there would be no further de-
velopments in the case before to-mor-
row, and also said that Mr.. Oldham
had returned to Washington. This
announcement was the first indication
that there would not be a meeting at
Mr.. Carnegie's home tonight.
