SEERBROOKE. Quebec, August 23.-
There is every indication Of a serious
break between Harry Kendall Thaw and
the Canadian lawyers who arc preparing
to make the fight to save him from
going back to Matteawan. Thaw has
attempted to take full charge of his own

100000 cartridges and a quantity OF
rifles bought at the store several days

of the Department of Justice to be for

The expectation yesterday was made
at the Santa Fee international bridge.
Federal representatives exhibited papers

Thaw's group Of Canadian lawyers.
nearly all Of whom were retained by
telegraph. found themselves today con-
fronting three questions. First: Who was
in charge Of his case? Second: From
whom were they to receive their fees?
Third: With whom were they to consult
pending Thaw's arraignment In the SUI
perior court Wednesday next on writ
Of habeas corpus?
When Mr.. and Mrs. George Lauder Car
negie arrived here Wednesday night after
Thaw's arrest at COaticook as q fugitive
from Matteawan, 1t was understood that
they would take charge of his case. and
that from them counsel would receive
instructions as to the desires of the
Thaw family. Thaw at that time had
been warned by relatives In lengthy mes
sages not to insist on personal instruc-
lions to counsel. and it was understood
that his lawyers were to ignore him In
their efforts to thwart his deportation to
the state Of New York. But when Mr..
and Mrs Carnegie left Sherbrooke Thaw
resumed his old tactics, and his eight
lawyers were in q Quandry today as to
who was chief counsel.

Money Not Yet Produced.

Ostensibly, ]. n. Greenshields OF Mon
treal had precedence among the group Of
those fighting in Thaw's behalf, but he
had nothing in writing to indicate this.
and with Thaw's growing tendency to
take matters in his own hands. az was
the case at all of his habeas corpus hear
ings in New York, the lawyers were puz-
zled as to the outcome.
Thaw money, reported to be surging to-
ward Sherbrooke. had not arrived In the
concrete today and the Thaw lawyers
were endeavoring to obtain statement
from some one identified with the Thaw
interests as to just who was responsible
for any expenses incurred.
calling Over Themselves"

one of the lawyers. Eight men cannot
handle one mans case without definite
agreement as to who is the boss. Thaw
would like to conduct matters himself,
but because Of kilograms from his rela-
tiyes we do not feel justified In acceding
to his demands. On the other hand,
there IL no representative OF the family
