Suit has been Instituted asking that he account for moneys said to aggregate between $S,10O and $8,2e0 alleged to have been given him at various times dur ing the past six months for invest ment and for which it. is alleged no return has been made.
 That criminal prosecution may re suit in the event that the accounting is not satisfactory to Mrs. Porter lawyers is hinted at in legal circles today. The prisoner has not been able to secure the $5,O00 bonds in which he was held, and that he still remains in the New Haven jail where he was taken by Deputy Sheriff John M. DonneIly of this city.
 The arrest was made late Sunday night, Jordan then being in his office in the MeigB building. He submitted to transp to New Haven with out any opposition, merely wishing to notify relatives at Myrtle beach.

YOUTH HELD IN
 POLICE SEARCH
 FOR YOUNG GIRL
Mary Buttner Gone Since Sunday Neighbor Taken
 Into Custody

Driven nearly frantic by the u1vs- tertous disa ppearancei of their IT. year-oId daughter, Mary, and the fear that she has been attracted to New York, and persuaded to remain there or is forcibly detained, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Buttner, of 194 East Main St, have appealed to the police for aid. AS a result of allegations made by them, Louis Deliebros 21 years old of 205s East Main street, was arrested by Detective Sergeant Cronan this morning charged with abduction pending further investigations Mrs. Buttner is firmly convinced that De< hebro knows where the girl is and also important details regarding her appearance. Her husband says that Mary was last seen talking with DeIiebro on Stratford avenue Sunday but short time before her disap- pearance. The accused disclaims any Knowledge of the girls whereabouts but says, if she has disappeared, it is on account of not being able to stand her mothers treatment and because her parents objected to their daugh- ter going with a Christian.
 Mary is we'll known, having employed for some time at tie fruit counter of a Main street five and ten cent store. Mrs. Buttner says that her daughter regarded De1iebro fond ly, trusted him fully and was much in his company, when ot working. She also complains that she would have nothing to do with young men of the Jewish faith but persisted in as- sociating with Christians.
 Deliebro acknowledges that he was at the steamboat dock Sunday night when the boat sailed and had four girls in his company. He explains that they were acquaintances of his from New York, who had been visit ing in Bridgeport, and that he was at the dock to see them start on their home trip.
 Police. detectives are of the belief that Mary is still in Bridgeport and that her disappearance is simply on account of unpleasant conditions at home. A general alarm has been sent out to pick her up and the New York authorities have been notified and furnished with her description.

 In Hands Of
 Atty. Graham
Donovan States to Farmer Correspondent He Has Not Recommended Candi- date for Postmaster at Bridgeport.
1speciaI to the Farmer.l

E 6I.l Washington, Jan 12-Assisfant At who handled the papers in the ap- pointment of Edwin & Thomas to a federal 1udgeship-is handling the matter of the selection of a United States Marshall for CoInecticut This statement is made upon the highest authority, although fhssre is an air . of mystery over the whole matter of the United States narshallship. There is no indication. at present, that the five congressman from Connecticut have agreed upon the selection of any one man
 With this situation, it is regarded as very likely here that National Com sI11tteen1an Homer s. Cumn1fngs, for Ser czovernor Simeon E. Baldwin and offer prominent Connecticut Demo crats will play important parts in the selection of a marshal.
 One of the most likely candidates is George Forster, former chairman of the Democratic state central com rnfttee. Others in the race are Jas. R. Graham of Hartford, James J1 Me- Gam of New Haven and WilIiam R. Palmer of Oxford All these candf- dates have considerable backing. Still others whose names have been men toned are William Yo1lmer. Fairfield county sherifr, Thomas J. smith of Hartford, E. C.Ginty, former police former member of the state barbers' commission.
