State authorities have asked Gov.
Samuel D. Felker to postpone for a
time his decision in the matter of the
extradtion of Harry K. Thaw from

Governor will probably comply with
their wishes
The request reached Gov. F'elker at
his home in Rochester in telephone
talk with Attorney Bernard Jacobs of
Lancaster, who has been retained as
an assistant to VIM. T. Jerome. who
is in charge of the New York state
case. The Governor said, tonight, that
he would grant the request in all prob
ability, although he had asked that
the matter be presented to him in
writing before he made formal rullag
on it,
AS the Governor understands the
situation, this move of the New York
authorities is taken in view of the in
vestigation to be made by Attorney
General Carmody in the Thaw case, a
proceeding which may require consid-
cradle time.
Gov. Felker also said, tonight. that

against Thaw by the Duchess county
grand jury and subsequently with
drawn also an affidavit by District
Attorney =Gonger of Duchess county

at his hotel, where he received visit
