ing to the case as being admittedly the
most famous the dominion has ever
had.
Chief OF these lawyers is ]. N. Greene
shields, X c., Of Montreal. A reputed
millionaire, II is said that not until this
instance has he handled crmnal case
in years.
OTHERS IN CASE
Assisting him were w. X. McKeown,
X c., Of Montreal, officially designated
as family counsel"; Charles d. White,
K. c.. and H r.. Frazer of Sherbrooke;
w. l.. Shurtleff of Coaticook. whom
Thaw retained before his family was
aware of his arrest; Louis st. Laurent
of Montreal, acting in supplementary
way as counsel for Gentleman Roger
Thompson the chauffeur who drove
Thaw from Matteawan. and. finally,
Henry Hirschberg. lawyer OF New
burgh, N. Y, whom Thaw engaged by
telegraph.
Shurtleff is described by the towns
people as the political whip of 10 coun-
ties" and II was he who went to Ot-
tawa in Thaw's behalf. Former Gov
ernor Stone OF Pennsylvania, who inter-
ested himself In Thaw's behalf at the
habeas corpus proceedings in New York
arrived tonight.
THAW READS LAW
Thaw spent the day arguing with
his patient lawyers, pacing his cell,
eating candy and reading up on fine
points relating to international law
and insanity, subjects which have be-
come very dear to him.
Throughout the day he has refused
to discuss any legal aspects of his
case, but issued series of statements
concerning his plans for distributing
throughout the world something he
intends to Issue later. He described
this as very important"
Thaw tried to explain tonight some
OF the recent history of Matteawan.
Doctor Kieb would not be the super
intendent now, he said. II It had not
been for the Thaw family.
IF 1t hadn't been for me-" he said
"Kieb wouldn't be in charge. We got
Baker out, you know. Baker was
queer"
ROGER rs DISCUSSED
Thaw said he hadn't heard anything
about the suggestion OF the New York
state authorities easing up on Gentle
man Roger provided he gave up the
details Of Thaw's delivery and the in
ception OF the plot.
He's a British subject" said Thaw.

AS he ramb1ed on, Thaw had ste

He declined to say d word about Eve

Jerome is to the New York state
forces as O'Mara in 8 sense Is to the de-
Tense. without O'Mara Thaw's law
yers are sparring for time. With the

Dutchess county's sheriff; e. A. Conger
district attorney of Dutchess county,

Mr.. Conger said tonight that, OF
course. he and Kennedy would be su-

UP TO MINISTER
IT don't believe all this talk about
the agreement to deport Thaw to New
port W.T." said Conger. While I un-
derstand the immigration agents here
have been instructed to use their dis
cretion In the matter, they are. in my
opinion, nothing more than policemen,
and I think the decision Is up to the
minister of the interior. We are wait
ing till Thaw's lawyers come into court
Well get him sure. Whether they will
deport him to Vermont I can't say. We
haven't succeeded, however, in getting
even tentative promise to shoot him
across at the New York state line"
The inside story of how Thaw's Ca
madam lawyers were retained has
cropped up in Sherbrooke. When
Thaw's arrest was first flashed to New
York city, New York theatrical man
who had met Margaret Thaw Carnegie
abroad. called up the Carnegies and
Mrs. Mary Copely Thaw, then in New
York, and told them Thaw's position
was perilous.
The adviser explained that his home
town was Sherbrooke, that he knew
just what lawyers to engage It was
now on the Thaw payroll were re-
tanned by telegraph and telephone. He
accompanied the Carnegies here and is
said to have promised the lawyers
staggering fees-$50. 900 to be distrib-
uted among five OF them as a retainer.
But he had nothing In writing to con-
firm this. and the lawyers tonight had

TAMMANY NAMES
EDWARD NJ GALL
FOR MAY0RA[ [TY
Chairman of Public Service
Commission Designated as
Candidate by Demo
cratic Committee

NEW YORK. Aug. 2a-Edward r.
Mccall, chairman of the public service
commission, was designated tonight as
mayoralty candidate by the democratic
city committee.
Mr.. McCalPs selection by the $50 dele
gates as leader of the Tammany forces
was unanimous, as has been the fore
cast since 1t appeared from yester-
day's announcements that the Tam
many leaders had decided not to re-
nominate Mayor Gaynor, and that ne
would be nominated by the "GaynoI
league" with complete independent
city ticket OF its own.
There were reports that friends OF
Mayor Gaynor would attempt to STAN
pede tonights convention for him, de-
spite the leaders. but no such move
materialized
METZ FOR COMPTROLLER
Herman A. Metz was unanimously Sc
lected for comptroller. Mr.. Metz held
this office during Mayor McClellands
second term.
Congressman Joseph A. Goulden was
unanimously selected for president OF
the board OF aldermen.
The main planks Of the platform are:
A declaration for rigid economy In
municipal administration; an indOrse-
ment of the present subway policy OF
extension; home rule, as against "in-
terference by the state legislature;'
equal tax assessments to relieve bur-
den of small owners and rent payers;
to promote the supremacy of New York
city as a port; to remove from police
supervision "the suppression of gam
bling, disorderly houses and kindred
vices
LOOKS LIKE WHITMAN
The part of the platform regarding
the police situation was quite gener-
ally taken as an Endorsement of the
work Of District Attorney Whitman
and the talk that he would be Endorsed
by Tammany was at once revived with
added strength.
The county committee, which will
designate a candidate for district at
torney meets next week.
Mayor Gaynors determination to run
for reelection as an independent guar
antees one of the liveliest municipal
campaigns New York has seen for sew
eral years.
There will be three tickets In the
field--democratic,sfu fusion and Gaynor.
The fusionists, who include re-
publicans, progressives independence
leaguers and some independent demo-
Gratis, have selected John Purroy
Mitchell, for mayor.
Mayor Gaynor will make his appeal
to anti-Tammany sentiment in all par
ties, but his chief hackers now are
anti-Tammany democrats.
Neither the Tammany men nor the
fusionists would admit today that the
nomination of Gaynor would weaken
their strength.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SUDDEN MARKET STRENTH. Activity of Final Hour Mere Than EqualIed the Whole Day Besides.

New York. Aug. 11.-After four hours of alternate declines and ad- vances, mostly within circumscribed limits, today's stock market took on a sudden appearance of strength and ac tlV1ty in the final hour, transactions in that brief period more than equal ling all the other hours of the ses- sion. The leader of the movement was United States Steel, in which large buying orders made their appearance ostensibly from influential sources. There was no news to account for the prospects, as set forth by last Satur- days tonnage figures for July. were hardly accepted as favorable.
 The buying later comprehended Cam adian Pacific, Union Pacific. St. Paul and many of the grangers. whose ad- vance was ascribed to belated recog- nlition of the benefits to be derived from recent rains in the middle west Canadian Pacifc's gain of almost four points preceded the declaration of the regular dividend part of which, as usual. was paid from sales of the com pany's land.
 While considerable realizing was seen in the later dealings, the marke lost little of it's advance, average gains extending from one to two points. Southern Pacific was almost the sole stock of prominence to show some DdCkWdFuneSS, toS1ng point on publication of Union Pacific's sub scA@ution terms and making up only a part of it's decline.
 London which sold a small amount of American Stocks here was listless and the virtual failure of another col onial underwriting project was accept ed as proof that the British market for securities still is in a state of con- gestion.
 The bond market was irregular but hardened towards the end in sympathy with stocks. overnment bonds were unchanged on call. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1,250,000

MARGOT HAL WINS HARD RACE
Wins Board of Commerce Stake After Five Heats-Dllon Axworhy Shows Real Class in Matron Trotting Section -Tiie Upton Winner in Pacing Division

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 11-Racing at at the state fair grounds today was rather tame. The only real contest was in the Board of Commerce Stake for 2:16 pacers, which went five heats before Margot Hal was returned a winner. Dillon Axworthy won the trctting division of the matron stake; Tillie Lipton, the pacing division and Lord Dewey the 2:15 trot, all in straight heats.
 Dillon Axworthy was by far the best among the ten starters in the Matron Trotting section. In the first heat Serrill held the colt back in the field until the far turn was reached and then easily took the lead from Ina Jay. At the finish he was a couple of lengths to the good. Ruby Watts and Peter Johnson had a fine brush down the stretch for second place, going under the wire noses part. In the second heat the Axworthy colt was never headed. He seemed to have plenty in reserve and could have low cred his time considerably had he been driven out.
 The pacing section, with only three starters, was merely a procession from start to finish in both heats, the colts never changing their relative positions after the word was given.
 It took Margot Hal some time to get a going in the Board of Commerce Stake, but when she finally found her stride she made a show of her oppon- ents.
 Lord Dewey had everything his own way in the 215 trot, taking three heats as he pleased.
 TomorroW's programme includes the classic Chamber of Commerce $5,000 stake for 2:13 pacers; a $3,000 purse for 2:16 class trotters and the 2:10 trot and 2:06 pace at s1,000 each.
