DIVISION OF OPINION
 REGARDING THAW CASE.
Advisers of Governor FeIker Take
 Different Views of 1t.

Concord, N. H.. Sept. 25.-A division or opinion is said to exist among Gov ernor Felker's advisers as to whether he should honor the request of the state of New York for she extradition of Harry K. ThaW. Some of them take the attitude that the New York papers are in proper legal form and that 1t Is unnecessary for the governor to go below their surface in an inquiry Into the facts of the case upon which they are based. Others at the state house take an opposite view
 But Governor FelIer. who is himself lawyer is understood to attach inn poFtance to securing further informa- tion on the subject of the reporteu~tn- dIctment of TnaW by the Duchess county (N. Y) grand jury TOT con- Splracy in connection with his esca pc from the MatteaWan insane asylum No indictment has been made public, but William T. Jerome said in arguing on New ork'S petition for eXtradition before Governor FelHer Tuesday that an indictment had been found but had been kept secret by request. It is said that until the governor learns more definitely just what attitude has been taken by the Duchess grand jury he probably will defer his de- cisiOn in regard to signing the extra ditiOn warrant.
 Governor Feiker is at his home in Rochester, to remain until Monday. It is believed here that he will grant the request made by ThaW's counsel today that they be allowed until Oct to file additional briefs in the extradition matter.
 For two hours today Thaw strolled about the downtown streets and su- burbs with Police Officer C. D. Stevens. attracting only casual attention. There was 10 outward appearance of any restraint and the outing seemed to be enjoyed even more than the au- tomobile trips which Thaw has had. A welcome break in the days routine for him was the arrival of one of his attorneys, Samuel Selig, of New York, bearing the latest news from Broad way.
