ThaW Ordered Exfradifed; He
Now Appeals to U. S. Court

BY The United Press.
CONCORD, n. H.. Nov. S.-Governor
Fclker today signed the extradition
papers for the return OF Harry X
Thaw to New York, on the request Of
Governor GlynH. Thaw is charged
with conspiracy in New York county
The decision. although a victory for
William 7. Jerome. and his assistants
IN their fight to return Thaw to New
York. does not mean that he viii go
back TO Matteawan Immediately. The
fugitive's fight may last years.
1t has been generally expected that
Governor Felker would sign the rcqui-
sition papers presented by Governor
Glyn. Of New York. In so doing he
followed the conventional laws. and in
this case shifted the whole matter au-
tomatically onto the shoulders Of
Judge Edgar J. Aldricb. of the United
States Court for the District Of New
Hampshire.
Neither Jerome nor Sheriff Fred c.
Hornbeck, of Duchess county, dopu-
tized to receive the fugitive in event
the extradition was granted, was here
TO receive the decision. II was fore
gone conclusion that Thaw could not
be taken back 70 New York on account
of the writ Of habeas corpus, which 10
pending before the United States Dis
trict Court II may be several years
before the case is decided, both sides
having expressed a determination to
send the case to the United States su-
preme court If necessary.
Judge Aldrich stated In his opinion
handed down at the hearing of the
habeas corpus In Littleton that he
would take the case up within hye
| days after he had received a notice
from the Thaw lawyers. This no
tice will be sent to Judge Aldrich
this afternoon, but It is doubtful II
any hearing will be held inside OF
three weeks and II may possibly be
later, depending upon the engage
ments OF the justice and whether OF
not the counsel for both sides can
be prepared in that length of time
lit is admitted that although ThaN
has met defeat in his first step, II
will be a long while before he car
be returned to New York.
When the case comes TO Judge
Aldrich several days will be required
for the presentation of evidence anS
arguments OF counsel. The decision
will be followed by an appeal by thu
defeated party and then will com'
the question of bail for Thaw pend
ing the final disposition of the cas-
by the courts Of last resort.
Both Thaw and his mother, Mar
Copley Thaw, took the decision clamly
saying it was in accordance wit
what the attorneys had told them I
expect. Mrs. Thaw declared sh
washed to forestall any outside i'm
preston that tie decision was
shock.
BY agreement between Thaw an
New York attorneys. the fugitiye's al
