WILSON ID APPEAR AGAINST MEN WHO
 THREATENED LIFE
A Seventeen Year-Old Boy Who Threatened to Shoot Wilson Arrested in
 New York

Newark, N. J., December 12.-Presdent- elect Woodrow Wilson may face in court here next Tuesday the three men ac- oused of threatening his life. A subpoena was issued by United States commits sioner late today for the Presldent-elect's s appearance and to make this possible he postponed examination of the alleged blackmailers from Monday to Tuesday, by which time it is expected the Wilson family will have reached New York from Bermuda
 The letters which Warren Dunn, Jacob Dunn and Seely Davenport, who were arrested Tuesday night. are alleged to have addressed to Governor Wilson at Trenton, were opened by Joseph P. Tu- multy. the governors secretary. MT. Tu- multy also was subpoenaed today. In case his testimony as to the recent of the letters is accepted as sufficient proof. Governor Wilson may not be required to testify The issuance of the subpoenaes was described by Commissioner Stock ton as mere formality, but the com missioner hoped the President-elect would appear.
 The threats in the letters were in de- mand of 5000 or life. and one of them reminded Governor Wilson of the fate of Mckinley and thc attempt to kill Colo nel Roosevelt.
 The specific charge on which the three men are held at present is misuse of the mails. Jacob Dunn is the alleged author of the letters. All the men have been known in the Morris county region for number of years. Neighbors say they were of ''an apparently harmless sort"
 Federal authorities intimated today that they had doubts of being able to hold the trio The main evidence is similarity between the handwriting in the letters and that of Jacob Dunn.
