1 NEW YORK, August 1S-Sundo1yn tonight marked the thirty-sixth hour of Harry K. Thaws freedom, and the police of the United States and Cam
 ada have not picked up his trail
 Happy and girlish almost was the
 joy with which Mrs. Thaw exhibited
 a hastily scrawled note from her
 son, whose escapade cost the family millions, and she added that whatever
 Harry did would meet with her ap-
 prOVaL This view of his announced
 intention of entering Pennsylvania gave the basis for the belief that
 ThaW is preparing to take the case before the courts of Pennsylvania. Close associates of the family indi- cated tonight that the ground work for a legal fight in Pennsylvania already had been laid.
 Dr. BrittOn D. Evans, the aIeHist who testified in ThaW's behalf az the murder trials, held a telephone con Versation with Mr. Thaw this after noon, and said he would accompany her to Pennsylvania tomorrow There will be conferences with counsel in the meantime. and it is understood that Thaw will remain in hiding.
 F'igurativeIy and literally, ThaW left behind only a cloud of Duchess county dust. RumOrs of his passage, descrip- tiOns of black automobiles. and talcs of yacht boardings on Long Iclawl Sound were the days news. The yacht EndvmiOn the property of George Lauder, Jr., a distant relative of Thaw by marriage, found mehtion in the crop of rumors
 While there was nothing to support the theory that Thaw had taken tO the seas, it seemed to those who followed the case to be the li<eliest course. Leaving MatteaWan, only two routes by which he would not double back to New York state lay open to him. One lay north by land to Can ada, thence southwest along the bor- der to the lakes. across Lake Erie to the north jutting nubbin of PennsEl- vania. The other was the water route.
 Aboard d ship in the south Th9w could bide his time in comparative safety and make his way to Philadcl- phia by the way of the Delaware river. Dispatches from Ottawa, though quoting no official, said that if Thaw halted within the Dominion he might be depOrted as an undesirable citizen. although if he had through ticket to Europe there was no halting him
 The state authorities at Harrisburg. | that state his case would be deferred to the attorney generals office. Tro- vided New York asked for eXtradl- tion The Philadelphia police said they would arrest him if those of New York requested it.
 Second only to the search for ThaW is that for the quintette whose un- usual nerve and skill with automo- piles did not stop with the watch work outside the asylum walls. These did the rough work. Who Was the brains of the plot, whether they were Thaw's himself or some astute per son. may be developed later
 A description of Butler tallied dose lv with that of the eX-assemblyman of the same name from New York city. William Gordon, proprietor of a hotel at Fishkill Landing. where the five made their headquarters two days prior to Thaw's escape. identified to- night photograph of the former as as one of his late guests.
