Lawyers Fear Additional Federal Pro- cess in Case.
 New York. Dec. 11.-From present in- dications it Is extremely unlikely that any attempt will be made to obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick, who has been in the Tombs since last Thursday night on a charge of aiding and abetting bank officials in the embezzlement of $12,5Oo. She was held under $l5,000 bail. A person who Is in position to know the various moves in the Chad wick case, in an interview with the representative of the Associated Press said today:
 Despite all reports to the contrary. no active efforts have been made to obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick in this city. There are plenty of people here who would sign her bond If asked, but the fact Is, it Is not deemed advisable for Mrs. Chadwick to leave the city prison at present. If she were releas- ed on bail. the Government could de- mand twenty-four hours to examine her security. Meanwhile the Govern ment attorneys could telegraph the Cleveland authorities and before the twenty.four hours had expired could have additional charges sent here. so that it would be necessary to procure new bail.
 This procedure could be carried out as long as the Government officials had charge. Again there might come a conflict in authority. A county grand jury might find an indictment against Mrs. Chadwick and then the matter of extradition would come up in a dif- ferent light from any yet suggester.
 T am of the opinion that Mrs. Chad wick will remain quietly in the Tombs for the present. The preliminary hear N1ar fa eat United States Commissioner Shields. If further questions should not be asked by counsel on either side. the com missioner would listen to the evidence with a view to demanding or not that Mrs. Chadwick should be held for the Federal grand jury.
 Tt is not believed that a decision will be reached that day. Indeed, 1t is very possible that 1t will be some time before the matter is definitely decided. Tn case Mrs. Chadwick is held for the Federal grand jury. 1t Is not all unlikely that one of the greatest legal battles ever fought in New York will follow"
 For several days it has been rumored that pr. LeRoy s. Chadwick was either in Paris, Berlin or Brussels, but an in vestigation by the Associated Press representative in those places failed to reveal his presence, although many let ters are awaiting the pnyslcidn at the Hotel Metropole. Brussels, where he Is a regular patron.
 A lawyer. who has been connected with the financial difficulties of Mrs. Chadwick. said today in reference to the report. that steps might eventually be taken to compel the return of Dr. Chadwick to this country.
 Can't Touch Chadwick.
 Any person who says that Dr. Chad wick can be brought to the United States against his will because he gave Herbert D. Newton checks which were retufned marked without funds, knows nothing of the law. Had the doctor bought a coat and given a worthless check he could have been held for obtaining money under false pretense. but in this case there was no value received.
 "It has been said that Mrs. Chadwick settled $2,50o,000 of the money she borrowed on her husband three years ago. There Yas a difficult thing to prove It must first be shown that she borrowed that amount of money and that 1t was borrowed fraudulently. It would seem reasonable that if the
