COlebrook, N. H.. Sept 11.--Twenty- live Canadians, several of them oppo- nents of William Travers Jerome after h1s arrest in Coaticook, Que, last week on a charge of gambling and others from Sherbrooke, where Harry K. Thaw received such an ovation in court, have followed the fugitive across the border into New Hampshire and revived with their coming the intense partisan feeling so evident while Thaw was in the Dominion Jerome de- nounced one of them in public today.
 Court Proceedings Postponed.
 Their presence in CoIebrook enIiyen- ed what was otherwise a typical Thaw day for those who have been following the cratic course of Stanford Whites slayer since his escape from Mattea- wan on Sunday morning, Aug IT. There was no court proceeding. Thaw's arraignment being put off by mutual consent until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Thaw's lawyers, appar- entity thinking him safer in the custody of the sheriff than at large, abandoned their attempt to release him on a writ of habeas corpus.
 Thawa Guard Increased,
 The guards about ThaW's hotel were increased tonight from twelve to tWep- ty, All were armed and under tha direction of Chief of Police Charles
 
 deputies yesterday after hearing stories that officers from New York might attempt to spirit ThaW away, He augmented them in the face of ru- mers that the Canadian contingent might essay the same thing, with the idea of snatchiHg ThaW from JeFeme's hands and at the same time rebuking high Dominion officials responsible for ThaWs sudden deportation yesterday morning.
 Police Chief Gets Alarmed.
 Groups of Canadians stood about the hotel corridors and on the street cor ners throughout the day and closely followed Thaw on the two trips he made from his room The first of these was to the barber shop the second to the office of his chief coun- sel, Thomas Johnson. Two automo- piles, engines running. stood at the curb in front of the office all the time Thaw was within. This so alarmed the police chief that he and his men com pIeteIy surrounded Thaw when he was brought out and escorted him to the hotel.
 MT. Jerome spoke with a smile to- night of the camp followers from across the border, but added that he had heard apparently authentic re- ports that some of the more emotion al of the Thaw sympathizers from Canada had spoken seriously of liber- ating him.
 Jerome Denounees Thaw Partisan.
 Jeromes denunciation of the parti- san from Coaticook ocurred in the Monadnock house, where Thaw is housed. The man. a partisan who in- terested himself in working up evil dence against Jerome on the gambling charge of which he was accused, asked to be introduced to him. Jerome look ed him over coldly, then spoke acrid- ly, bitterly, of his experience in Coati- cook, naming the man as ringleader There was a moment of strained si- lence, then Jerome turned his back.
 Thaw's progress down Main street to his lawyers office this afternoon drew the entire village and environs to the scene. Every available vehicle in town Was pressed into service: win dows along the way were black with heads.
 Sweet Peas Tossed to Thaw.
 Thaw. head erect and smiling, walk ed beside huge Sheriff Drew. Behind them trotted the small boys of the village; ahead frisked 8 little yellow dog, yelp1ng delightedly. From a sec ond story window 8 small girl tossed Thaw a bouquet of sweet peas. But there was no cheering.
 Unless more delay intervenes, Thaw will be brought before Justice Carr in the morning on the complaint that e&~ is wanted in New York for con spiracy. Counsel for New York will ask that he be remanded until 8, reQui- sition warrant can be presented to Governor Felker and that T De re- moved to the county jail at Lancas- ter. Then will begin the real fight against extradition. Tn preparation for this Thaw has retained still another lawyer. He Is N. K. Martin, ex~Tnayor of Concord, a leader iD the state de- mocracy and a close associate of Gov ernor Felker.
 He arrived in Colebrook today.
