New York, Sept. 12.-"Sheriff Bob
CHAMBER probably the most sought for
man in these United States since the
story of the stripping of his income
from him by his wife, Lima Cavalieri'
is still in hiding. Not once for two
DAYS. either at his studio in the
Windsor Arcade, his family seat IN
Duchess county, or any of the nu-
merous homes of the Chanlers IN
and about New York, did he come TO
the surface to breathe.
Members of his famil.-, however,
who, of course, know where he ls'
continued their conferences IN an en-
deavor to find remedy for the sit
uation in which the mad infatuatlon
of the ex-millionaire for the opera
singer has placed him. From these
conferences there were little outcrop-
pings of rumor. One story was tnat
the family and the six trustees OF the
property of the mateur politician ana
artist had decided definitely not to
honor the agreement made by the
love-maddened Sheriff Bob"
All the securities and real estate
holdings of the family are in this
country, and should the Chanlers re-
fuse to pay the 100000 a year in
come left to the sheriff, Cavalieri
would have to sue in this country to
compel the carrying out of the agree
ment.
Family Preparing a Defense.
1t was strongly rumored that the
family and the trustees had decided
to wait until the diva should attempt
such action before jlonoring "Bobs'
undertaking. In fact, it was asserted
that the family had even decided upon
a defense in case the singer should
sue, and this defense would be emo
tional insanity.
The family would contend, the ru-
NOR ran, that the ex-sheriff had been
swept off his feet by his love for
the opera singer. At just the right
moment. Cavalieri. who had dealt
with great profit to herself with in
fatuated men since the days in Rome
when the son of an ex-premier of
Italy offered her his protection" put
her arms about Canler's neck and
coaXed. In q moment of emotional
insanity akin to Harry Thaw's brain
Storm the Anglo-SaXon succumbed
to the Latin. Such is the defense as
outlined in certain quarters today.
Warren Delano. one of the three
original executors of the DeIano es-
tate, in which Chanler had $771.773
interest, said over the telephone from
his home at Tarrytown. n. Y: "a
certain part of the property beaueath-
ed to Robert w. Chanler was given

New York, Sept. 1.-THE New York
