STILL ONLY PROMISES.
Neither Mrs. Chadwick's Money Nor
Statement Is Forthcoming.

New York, Dec. 2.-While it has
been officially announced that the
claim of one of her largest creditors
the one whose suit brought about all
the publicity given her affairs
be satisfactorily settled there was no
dimunition of interest today in the
case of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. the
Cleveland woman whose financial af-
lions almost unparalleled. The claim
of Herbert Newton, the Brooklyne,
Mass, man for nearly 100000 which
apparently has been removed from
further consideration according to a
statement of Mrs. Chadwick's attorney
was only an incident. Othere claims
still pending are known to aggregate
four times that amount, they say, and,
for all they know, may total 100 times
the sum named by Newton. Many of
the claims against her, the attorneys
say, have no basis in fact and at the
proper time the claims will be shown
| to be fraudulent. That all the just
debts will be met they still maintain
and at the same time make the an
nouncement that Mrs. Chadwick will
have millions left when all her cred
itors have been satisfied.
Mrs. Chadwick is still in her suite
of rooms at the Holland house. but she
has notified the management that she
will give UP her rooms either today or
tomorrow. 1t is believed that she will
quit the city tomorrow when she will
go either to her home in Cleveland to
be present at the nearing on an appn-
cation for a receiver for her property
or else she will travel south. 1t is said
that she has engaged private car for
her journey. Much of the popular in
upon anticipation. Mrs. Chadwick's
attorneys had promised that she would
make public either today or tomorrow
a lengthy general statement covering
every phase of the case from her view
point. This statement was expected
to throw light on many points now
enveloped in mystery.
Edmound Powers. counsel for Mrs.
Chadwick, said today that he did not
expect the promised statement from
Mrs. Chadwick will be made public be-
fore tomorrow. Mrs. Chadwick, he
said, would remain in New York until
the affair was settled and would then
depart. Just when the settlement
with Herbert B. Newton would be eff
fected Mr.. Powers was unable to say
Powerful aid has saved the day for
her"
This statement was made today by
George Ryall of local counsel for Her
bert B. Newton, in discussing the set
tlement of his clients claim against
Mrs. Chadwick.
Where Mrs. Chadwick obtained the
aid Mr.. Ryall did not state, but it is
known that she spent considerable
time in the Wall street financial dis
trict yesterday and was for several
hours in the office of attorneys who
frequently have acted as legal depre-
sentative for one of the country's
richest men. It was soon after the
visit that Mr.. Newton's lawyers an
nounced that they were satisfied that |
their claim would be settled.
Considerable interest was aroused |
today by a statement credited to a
Cleveland attorney to the effect that
Mrs. Chadwick lost large sums of
money through bucket shops.
Another statement made in connec- |
ton with the case today was that a
number of years ago Mrs. Chadwick
borrowed from Mrs. Schenley, the |
Englishwoman who died several years
ago possessed of many million dollars
worth of property in Pittsburg. 1t is
said that notes for various sums made
by Mrs. Chadwick were found among
Mrs. Schenley'S papers after her death.
Mr.. Powers said also: Mrs. Chad
wick does not expect to leave the city
for two or three days, unless suddenly
Cleveland comes up tomorrow, but it
will probably be adjourned to a later
date to give a chance for everything to
be settled amicably out of court. Mrs.
Chadwick will pay every dollar that
she owes. Notwithstanding the gratu-
ftous alleged statement of a Cleveland
banker that she is broke There will
be no conferences here today that 1
know of. We are merely awaiting
certain developments In Cleveland and
elsewhere.
eve have decided that it is best
for Mrs. Chadwick to postpone her
personal statement until after all the
present suits have been settled and
dismissed" said Mr.. Powers.
'In due time" he added, "she would
