Sherbrooke Que, Aug. 26.-The
possibility of long battle in the courts
over the constitutionality of Canada's
drastic immigration act. under which
1t is proposed to deport Harry K.
Thaw, was the favorite theme Of both
factions gathered here. William Ira
vers Jerome. New York's representa-
tive, and other state counsel, confer
red concerning plans for Thaw's re-
turn.
I'VE hope to get him back to Mat
teawan where he belongs" said Jer-
ONE, "but it looks as though we are
in for a long siege"
Thaw continued to show little inter
est in anything except his publicity
plans. He is mailing and telegraphing
statements to papers in Vermont
where, Notwithstanding all theories OF
court delay here, he apparently ex-
poets to be deported. He also insisted.
in view Of Jerome's presence, he want
ed his lawyers to issue statement
quoting Jerome saying III New York
in 1908 that Thaw was sane. 7. b.
Williams of the dominion immisra-
ton department. is quoted as saying
that he placed no faith in Thaw's
chances Of testing the immigration
act in the courts, and that he believed
Thaw promptly could be deported.
Numerous Versions.
So many versions were current OF
what will happen after Thaw is turned
over to the immigration authorities
that it was a case of take your choice.
This led to the belief that at Ottawa,
