THAW CAPTURED IN
A CANADIAN TOWN
Continued from First Page3


cook as an undesirable, provided he
did not have transportation reading
to some foreign point via Canada"
This would mean that Thaw would
be sent back over the border to New
Hampshire.
Sheriff Kelsea thus describes what
followed:
"Thaw told me that though 1 was
the sheriff of Coos county, where we
then were, l could not modest him,
for no charge making possible his
extradition from New Hampshire
had been lodged against him. 1 did
not feel that I had the right to take
him. l should, however. have con-
tinued on the train and directed the
attention of the police wherever he
stopped to him, but it was necessary
for me to leave the train at Colebrook,
N. H, my home, as / had business
to attend to last night.
One Followed the Sheriff.
IT am not sure just what happened
to Thaw's companions after i got off
the train, but | think that one of
them followed me with the idea of
getting a car and picking Thaw up
beyond the Canadian line. The other
man continued with Thaw.
after disposing of my business l
obtained an automobile and started
in pursuit. I took with me Walter
Drew. press correspondent and at-
other man. We overlook Thaw AT
Hermenegilde-G arford. where We
found him driving with one of his
companions in a farmers wagon. 1
told the farmer who Thaw was and
he held up his team until l aroused
an officer who made the arrest on my
complaint that Thaw was a fugitive
from Justice. The prisoner made no
resistance
1.-THE farmer who drove Thaw told
me that the latter left the Maine
Central train at HEREFORD. just inside
the Canadian line and offered him
50 to drive him across country to
any point where he could reach the
Grand Trunk railway, and so get n
train for Quebec.
Overlook Him Near Depot.
"Thev started for this town and
were within two miles of the Grand
Trunk road when we overlook them.
He said that Thaw awakened him
late at night"

STOKES STRONGEST,
SAY. REPUBLICANS
Better Known and More Popu-
lar Than Other Candidates,
They Claim.

1t was generally conceded today by
people conversant with politics that
former Governor Edward G. Stokes
is the strongest candidate the Repub-
lican party can put in the field for the
nomination for Governor. They based
their opinions on the fact that Stokes
is better known around the State than
Charles N. Fowler and Carlton B.
Pierce, of Union, and Judge Robert
Carey, of Hudson, all of whom are
seeking the nomination. and because
of his popularity when he was Gov
ernor from 1906 to 1908.
Edward w. Gray, who was secre-
tary to Governor Stokes during this
period and later secretary to the Re-
publican State Committee, until he re-
signed a month ago, was sure Stokes
would lead the other candidates by a
big plurality.
"He is the best candidate the Re-
publican party could choose" said Mr..
Gray. Everyone in the State knows
him and the popularity he gained
when he was Governor will stand him
in good stead now.
80 far as the other candidates are
concerned, they may draw a big vote
in their own districts, but that is nat
ural. Stokes has Republicans from
the entire State behind him, and there
is no question about the result of the
primaries"
In view of the fact that Stokes has
been more or less a bugaboo to the
Progressives, an effort was made to-
day to see Everett Colby, one of the
two Progressive candidates. He was
out of town for the day and could not
be reached, but Edmund B. Osborne,
nth 70
some comment to make.
In Stokes the Progressives have
man to fear. Colby and Osborne
would have been pleased had he re-
manned out of the race because they
realize that a lot of Progressive-Re-
publicans if such a term can be used
to call the crowd just ION the fence"
will swing over to Stokes. These
votes would have gone to them IL
the Republican party had been rep
resented by no one stronger than
Pierce, Fowler and Carey.
The advent of Stokes serves to
unite the remnants of the Republican
party and, political leaders say 1t
would not be surprising to see one
or more of these three men withdraw
in favor of Stokes, just as former
Stnator John D. Prince, of Passaic,
did last week.
Radical, Says Osborne.
When Osborne was asked what he
thought about Mr.. Stokes's announce
ment he gave out the following die
tated statement:
Mr.. Stokes's announcement clears
up the situation admirably and
makes 1t plain as a pikestaff that the
Progressive party cannot hope to win
this fall except with a radical candi-
date who stands on a genuinely rad
ical platform.
Mr.. Stokes is the logical candidate
of his party and with him the great
body of Republican conservatives will
have no excuse to leave their own
party and vote for a near-conserva-
tive in the Progressive party. Mr..
Stokes, who has publicly opposed the
initiative and referendum, cannot fail
to be more satisfactory to the con-
sentative Republicans who hate and
fear this principle, than Mr.. Colby,
who, in his platform, put the soft
pedal on It,"

BRIBERY ONLY CHARGE
UPON WHICH THAW CAN
BE EXTRADITED TO u. S

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-Harry
X. Thaw may be extradited from
Canada on a warrant charging brib-
cry, but there is no provision in any
of the treaties between the United
States and Great Britain for extra
dition on a charge of conspiracy, ex-
cept conspiracy as 1t relates to con-
spiracy to revolt against the master
of a ship on the high seas. There j.
no provision for extradition on the
charge Fugitive from justice"
Those are the views of state de-
partment officials based upon the
treaties of 1912. 1889, 1900 and 1905.
In none of those conventions is
there a "hot pursuit" clause which
would permit the arrest of a fugitive
who succeeded in getting across the
border just ahead of his captors.
Such n provision did exist In an old
treaty with Mexico but lives in no
modern convention.
No Definite Information.
Immigration authorities here be-
lieve Thaw could be detained ana
returned to the United States by the
Canadian immigration authorities as
an insane man or an undesirable
alien. They have no definite informa-
ton. however, of the provisions of the
Canadian law.
Extraditlon for bribery could ne
asked under a provision of the treaty
of 1905 which, however, contains the
qualification that the bribery must
be defined to be the offering, giving
or receiving of brides made criminal
by the laws of both countries. That.
officials point out. makes 1t essen
tial to Thaw's extradition. that any
criminal act with which he would be
charged must also be a criminal one
under the Canadian code.
No Provision for Conspiracy.
The succession of treaties between
the United States and Great Britain
under which extradition from Canada
would operate, makes provision for
many crimes, but curiously enough
does not provide for conspiracy In
the general acceptance of the term.
because Great Britain declined to
include it even at the urgent repre-
sensations of the United states
Another provision makes 1t neces'
sary. in the opinion of officials, TO
present to the extradition court, evil
dence of the crime on which extra
dition might be. asked.
ANY request for extradition would
necessarily come through the gov
ernor of New York and that would
confront the Federal government
with recognizing one of the contes-
tants for that office in the SulzeI
case. No request for extradltion mad
been made today.

But, wait-what's that? The fire en-
gines are coming down the street.
Immediately the neighborhood is alive
with people, all shouting and looking
for the fire. The engines draw up in
front of the box. Chief McDermitt
swings out of his auto and comes up
on the run. The firemen struggle into
their rubber coats and don their he'll

But the only smoke in the immediate
neighborhood is caused by a young
ster in the crowd smoking a corn-silk
cigarette.
Then the patrol arrives and Har-
enburg and Fitzsimmons jump out
and dive into the crowd, pushing the
curious onlookers right and left, until
fire ines have been established, but
still no fire.

FIELDER CHILLS ARDOR

Especial 10 the Newark star.l

n JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug. IL
ssFormer Mayor Wittpenn was In this
city all day yesterday. He was round
ing up the members of his all but de-
.funct machine. Because he had
~pledged his support to Governor
I~Tielder he thought there would be no
Exposition from the friends of the
Ex-Governor to the ticket he Is fixing
sup for the coming primaries. When
1.-THE fomer mayor and his close
Afriends heard that the anti-Wittpenn
~faction was on the job and were
Ssplanning to put a ticket in the field
10 give battle to the Wittpenn ma
Iehine, he called his lieutenants to-
t1Eether at Belmar Saturday night to
sdiscuss the situation.

zthose at the conference, and give
sshim to understand that If he sane
tions an opposition ticket 1t VIII mean

Y The former mayor did not want to
do this but his lieutenants, or, rather,
two or three of the more powerful
e,of them, insisted that this was his
n only chance.
Bright and early Wittpenn was at
Sea. Grit. He was with the Governor
for n long time. What took place at
1.-THE conference was not made public.
s.but the fomer mayors friends were
saying today that he put things up
to the Governor. From what can be
learned the interview was not salts

Nthat he had no intention of mixing
