New York, Dec. 6.-The expected
did not happen tonight in the Chad
wick case and all predictions proved
at fault when at a late hour it was
announced 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 Comptroller of the Curren
cy would meet him tonight and that
. the matter of the notes alleged to
have been given 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
New Amsterdam Hotel. She was ac-
companied by her son and maid and
took with her some baggage. Secret
Service men who have been at the HoI-
land for several days followed Mrs.
Chadwick.
Andrew Squires. Cleveland attor-
ney representing Fri Reynolds made
the announcement tonight after sew
eral conferences with Receiver Lyon,
Mr. 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 an
nouncement was the first indication
that there would not be meeting at
Mr.. Carnegie's home tonight.
Stories of a possible arrest in the
case were still current this evening.
but so far as known no warrant has
been issued.
Lawyer Carpenter. one of Mrs.
Chadwick's counsel in New York. de-
clined to give the results OF the num-
erous conferences to-day. Percy w.
Carver, counsel for Herbert d. New
ton, in an interview with an Associated
Press representative, said that the
Newton claim had not been paid and
that no new assurances had been given
as to it's payment and George w. Ry-
ALL associated with Mr.. Carver. gave
no new information beside confirming
the story that he had been in confer
ence with Mrs. Chadwick to-day. AS
to the subject of their talk he declined
to make any statement.
SleutlS "Pipe" the Three.
1t was about 10 p. m. when Mrs.
Chadwick with her son and maid left
an elevator in the Holland house and
took a cab. She walked slowly and
her actions indicated that she had not
fully recovered from her recent indis-
position.
AS soon as Mrs Chadwick's cab left
the hotel secret service men took
other vehicles and drove after her.
At the New Amsterdam hotel she
was helped into the wonlen's recep-
ton room, where she tainted. After
some five minutes the woman was able
to walk again and clinging to her son
she went to the elevator and was
shown to a room on the first fiOor.
Chadwick's baggage. The son re-
turned to the reception room for the
baggage after he had taken his mother
to her room and the secret service
men held him in conversation for
some minutes and then let him go.
He went back to his mother. The
detectives refused to say what they
had asked.
Shortly before midnight Mrs Chad
wick's son went to the public tele-
phone in the hotel and called ND Or.
Albertus A. Moore. He asked the
physician to hurry at once to his
mother who, he said, was very i'll. DR..
Moore said later:
Mrs. Chadwick is suffering from
nervous prostraton, the result of her
removal from the Iiollar'l House to
this hotel and being folloNet by Sc
cret service men and reporters
One of the hotel clerks said the son
Had told him his mother was in
critical condition from nervousness.
The coach used by Mrs. Chadwick, her
son and the maid was driven TO Gran
Grey Park after leaving the party.
From present indications every eff
fort will be made by Mrs. ChadWick's
friends tomorrow TO settle the case. 1t
was said tonight by one interested in
her affairs that Mrs. Chadwick has at
the present time much more than
enough to settle these claims which
have been made up to this time.
Her counsel said today that she is
worth over $1.000,0O0.
