y Hayes said he expected 10 prove by
First Deputy Mckay that Commits
sioner Waldo did issue orders of the
most specific brand as TO the closing of
disorderly or gambling houses. His
story to Mr.. Whitman was that the
First Deputy Commissioner went to
him a short time ago, called his atten-
tion to some of the houses In his dis
trict and ordered him to close them.
Hayes said that he told Mr.. Mckay
that it could not be done without
specific order from the Commissioner.

with the Commissioner According to

far as could be learned the only re-
quest made by Hayes was that the
District Attorney would not push any
indictment to an issue until after the
police trial
AS a result OF the conference, Mr.
Whitman will attend the HAYES trial
tomorrow morning at Police Head
quarters. The District Attorney, as
such, has no power to interfere in the
departmental trial in any way, but il is
believed that Mr.. Whitman Will do
whatever he can to aid Hayes in his
desire for a speedy trial.
Mr. Whitman warned Hayes before
the conference of Tuesday night began
that he expected TO call him as wit

and that anything he said might he
used as the basis for future questions
