MCNamaras VIII Probably Seek No Change of Venue
 CHIEF COUNSEL ARRIVES
Rappaport Would Not Say Whether He Would be Superseded By Darrow. Identity of Present Judge Not Determined.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1-Unless it shall be otherwise decided by Attor- hey Leo Rappaport, counsel for the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers association who arrived here tonight, there will be no motions for change of venue in the dynamite conspiracy case, or any other technical points to delay the trial of John and James McNamara.
 The labor leaders interested in the defense of the McNamara brothers were so busy in connection with the strike of carpenters which began to- day that they gave little time to the affairs of the alleged dynamiters. But Andrew Gallagher, secretary of the la bOr council of San Francisco, said that RappapOrt would be given charge of the case immediately upon his ar rival, and that the Indianapolis at torney would remain in charge until the arrival of Clarence DarrOw.
 Gallagher declared that there was no uncertainty about the coming of Darrow. He will be here and he will be chief council in the case,H he asserted.
 NAclAld 5AAEI dlSO Sdlu Nildl Hllllc LlltIe was no prospect of a general strike in this city, one might be declared at any time, although such a movement on the part of organized labor would have no connection with the dynamit- ing cases.
 No one visited the McNamaras to- day and District Attorney Fredericks said that no one would be permitted to see McManigal, the accused con- spiratOr who is alleged to have made confession, until the latter has tes- tified in the trial of the McNamaras.

Judge George H. Hut ton. presiding judge whose duty is to select a judge, has made no decision yet
 Arrangements have been made for Rappaport and Gallagher to inter view the McNamaras tomorrow morn ing. In view of the district attorneys declaration that no one would be per mitted to see McManigal, no further effort will be made by representatives of the defense to talk to him.
 Leo Rappaport, attorney for the lin ternational Bridge and Structural Iron Workers association, who arrived at o'clock tonight, asked whether he had seen Attorney Clarence Darrow in Chicago. and whether Darrow was coming to undertake the defense of the McNamaras as chief counsel. re- piled: T do not care to answer that.
 He declined to comment on the dynamite conspiracy case in any way. .I may give out statement tomOr- row." he said.
 Samuel l.. Browne, chief detective of the district attorneys office, took prints of James B. McNamaras thumbs today. The prints will be sent to San Francisco to further identify the alleged dynamiter as J. B. Bryce. o
 Prints of all of McNamara's fingers will be taken and these will be com pared with finger prints on the launch Pastime. which is said to have been used by the accused dynamiters in transporting the explosive powder from the factory landing to point in San Francisco bay. whence 1t was taken to a vacant house in South San Francisco.
