Stokes, who is wanted as a witness for the ghrlS, caused poStponement today of the hearing before Magistrate Freschi l1n- til next Tuesday morning.
 While awaiting the outcome of the effort to locate Hart, Attorney Jordan asked for the discharge of the girls on the ground of insufficient evidence or, to hold them on @ greatly reduced bail. Freschi said he would make no decision until the defense had com pQeted it's case.
 The defense expects ito show by Hart that Stokes visit to the girls apart ment on the day he was shot was unexpected by the girls. Stokes tes- that the girls were expecting him and that Hart told nim> to go right in. Because of the allegations that three city detectives permitted Stokes pri. vate detective to ransack the trunks in the apartment occupied by the girls, Police Commissioner Waldo, to. day. directed an official investiga- tion. He declared that if the charge is proven he will dismiss the three men from the force.
 Attorneys for the girls also plar to ask the district attorney to have the private detective indicted for lar. ceny. The charge made by. the girl: that nine letters, all of which indi cated just how great Stokes interest in the Graham girl was, have disap, peared, has stirred the police and the district attorney and it is asserted that a complete investigation will bt made of the whole matter.
