came and to whom 1t was addressed
could not be learned. Typewriter ao-
dressed envelopes were also mailed ny
servants during the day. A messeh-
cor tried to deliver a telegram ad-
dressed Samuel Untermyer, Fifth ave-
nue. and 54th street." at the NC
Anime home. The boy later de-
,ivered the message to the Univer-
sity Club. which is on the opposite
c,rner. Mr.. Untermyer Is the counsei
for the Pujo committee, and has peeh
in communication with Riddell many
times in the last six months. during
which time efforts have been MADE 70
serve Rockefeller.
Mr.. Untermyer is expected In TINS
city to-day from the West. The sig
ni6cance OF his coming has not been
made known, but it has been POSITIVE
" asserted that he would be seen by
Riddell.
May Issue a Warrant.
Terry" South, who is officially the
chief clerk Of the House Of Represent
atives left here for Washington last
night to be present at the opening vi
Congress when it reconvenes to-utS'
after the holiday recess. he sald pe-
fore going that he would CONFER Will
the House leaders and officially re-
port on the progress made. II II
proba BILE that the House Will then oe
asked TO pass the necessary resolution
which would sanction the issuance OF
warrant by the Speaker of the House.
This action will I'm all probability no,
be resorted to for few days, the
money investigating committee having
POSTPONED its sessions until January w.
IL was said by the government EN-
ployes yesterday that Mr.. Rockefeller
had not been served with a subpoena
for twenty-five years. Many have oeeh
issued for his appearance before gov
eminent bodies, as we'll as committees
appointed to investigate affairs OF ma
tional importance. Riddell said to his
knowledge there were at least one hun
dred cases where subpPnas were Is
sued calling for 3ockefeller's appear
ance as witness, but despite all
methods known in the art Of process
serving he has succeeded in keeping
his whereabouts secret.
No word of encouragement was re-
ceived at the headquarters OF the
Washington staff at the Martinique
last night from Tarrytown or Green
witch. The guard is still stationed at
lockwood. The report that Rocke-
Teller had been visiting his son at
Greenwich had been investigated with
out result.
Fears Cranks, Says Friend.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is not hiding from
process servers of the Pujo commit
tee" said an intimate friend OF his at
lockwood Hall, In Tarrytown, yester-
day.
He is going about attending to busl-
ness this winter the same as last. IL
he wants TO come to Tarrytown ne
comes and if he wishes to remain In
New York he stays there. OF course.
if Mr.. Rockefeller knew there was a
process server outside OF his door ne
would not walk into his arms. MIR.
RiddelI did call at lockwood Hall and
he acted like gentleman. Mr.. Rookie
Teller was not at home, so he left his
card. No one has been back since. Ii
isn't through any dsrespect to the gov
eminent that Mr.. Rockefeller is not
submitting to service. 1t is because of
his health.
Mr.. Rockefeller is now seventy-onc
years old and he is entitled to pass the
remaining days of his life in quiet and
freedom from such matters. All this
notoriety, besides being unpleasant and
putting Mr.. Rockefeller in wrong
light Of defying the government brings
around cranks TO annoy him. | don't
think Mr.. Pujo or his committee de-
sire that, and don't believe they want
Mr.. Rockefeler's testimony badly
enough to place him in the shadow Of
death
This friend said he did not know
where Mr.. Rockefeller was, but It
would be a safe guess that he was in
New York and he would not run away.
This story bears out what is known in
Tarrytown. Mr.. Rockefeller has been
at lockwood Hall several times lately.
