ALLEGED bLACKMAIL CAUSED SHOOTING

New York, June S.-Developments in the peculiar case of ". E. D. Stokes, the millionaire proprietor of the Ansonia hotel, who was shot last night by two young women probably will hang fire for several days. The wounded man is in no immediate danger it was stated at the Roosevelt hospital today. but his con- dition was regarded as serious until 1t could be determined whether blood pois- oning would set in.
 Pending the outcome of his injuries Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, the young women accused of shooting Stokes, will be held without bail
 The expectation made in MT. Stokes behalf alleging that he was shot be- cause he refused to sign an agreement to pay $25.000 for the return of letters held by the young women, was ampli- fled today by Police Inspector Russell. He said Mir. Stokes had told detectives that Miss Graham called on him at the hotel Ansonia a week ago and demand ed $500 for some letters. When MT. Stokes replied that he would not pay a nickel for the letters it is alleged she drew a phial from her pocket and de- elared that she would kill herself. MT. Stokes, however, wrenched the bottle from her.
 Tine original allegation that $250o0 had been demanded for the letters was pos itively denied by Miss Graham. who de- clared there was no question or mention of money at all. She said there was no chance for argument when MT. Stokes appeared at the apartment last night as he immediately seized her by the throat and demanded the letters.
