New York, who has charge of the search, said last night he not only expected to find her, but two or more arrests might be made of persons suspected of having been re- sponstble for her disapp Although he would not reveal their names it is understood lieutenant Williams knows these women, who are said to be connected with theatrical life, in which, according to informa- tion the detectives have received the S441 WdS dAAAOuS IO IIlcLhG 6 Acl1Il0s The i1nforTnation as to the two wo- men comes fronz H. A Williams, tpor- ter on the train on which the girl arrived. He told the police she went into the par1or car and bought a seat after the car left Hartford. He said she told him she had decided to go through to Grand Central Terminal, where he saw the women meet her. John Guidone, the girls brother, verified the fact that she was stage struck and anxious for experience be-, hind the footIights in any capacity. He said the family. in moving from Bridgeport to Hartford, held the hope that this would dissipate her aspira- 1 tions.

 her tos carry out any theatrical plan 1 without her parents consent. | The detectives believe she is in or very near New York.
 l . Dr. Guidone and Mrs. Guidone pub l1ished the following letter today, hop ing that it will come to the attention of their daughter: | Baby
 |. Your father and mother are r heartbroken over your disap- 1 pearance and are waiting anx- 1 iously for you to come home.
 If you see these words, come home at once or communicate with the police and aske them to l bring you to your parents.
 l Don't be- afraid to come home. 1 We are not angry and we will not 1 blame you for anything.
 Only, we want to see you back. Mother and father are crying for you. You don't want your mother to die heart | broken. Come back. Lovingly,
 MAMMA AND PAPA. | Dr. Guidone does not believe that l his daughter has done anything ] wrong, but thinks she may have left the New York train at New Haven in a spirit of mischief or because she
 was carsick, intending to continue her trip on a. following train and that. in some way, she. found it necessary to stay.
 ! Now. he believes. she is stranded in q New Haven without money enough to T take her to New York to back to Il Hartford, and is afraid to let her rel I Iatives know where she is, thinking they will be angry at her for not melting her aunt in New York, as she
 was told to do. Her father, says,
 however, that he is not angry, only sad. and that he will welcome her
 home with open arms.
 Il Evidence that the girl is or has lbeen< in New Haven was strengthen 5l ed by the story of Mrs George T. u Csriswold of 24 Inlay street, Hart q ford, who said she saw young Miss Guidone get off the train at the Elm City. : Since then a number of persons have reported seeing the girl in New
 Haven. Early yesterday morning
 Frederick Chatf1eld of s65 Chapel street, New Haven, told the police
 that a. girl answering the description
 published of the Guidone girl, had called at his office in answer to an
 advertisement for stenographer.
 After investigation, however,, search CTS were satisfied that this was not
 the girl they were looking for.
 The father of the missing girl said
 last night that he had discovered a
 discrepancy in the story. Williams,

 the girl on the train up to the time
 it reached the Grand. Central station.
 New York His story to the police
 had been that the girl sat in a Pull
 man. The girl according to Dr. Gui-
 done. had round trip ticket for New
 York, but had no Pullman ticket. Dr.
 Guidone questioned the porter as to
 how she came to sit in a. Pullman,
 and he replied that the girl must have
 paid the difference in fare to the | conductor. Edward Wiley, who was
 conductor on the train until it reach
 ed New Haven, said he had sold nc
 Pullman ticket to anybody answer1ng
 the description of the missing girl 1 Neither had Dennis J. Manning, who I relieved hirn at New Haven and acted
 in the capacity of conductor up to the
 time that the train reached New ork
 Dr. Guidone thinks the porter saw
 some other girl than his daughter,
 My daughter was an intelligent
 girl and was we'll informed about the
 ways of the world, although she was
 quite young pr. Guidone said last
 night '.She looked forward to her
 stay in New Work with the most eager
 anticipation and I cautioned her I many times about what she should dc
