Wizard Hold Attention

NEW YORK. June 26.---The hunt for
the murderer Of Joseph b. Elwell whist
expert, who was shot to death In his
home here, two weeks ago, has cen-
terre around one man whose move-
f1@F5 are under police scrutiny IL is
reported at the district attorneys Of
flee that an arrest was mot very far
off" Official confirmation of this, how
ever, is not forthcoming
According to the authorities, the sus-
pected slayer was a friend OF the dead
sportsman. He had been questioned
previously about his movements the
night preceding the murder and con-
oerning his relations with ElWell At
that time, 1t was said, his explanations
were satisfactory. Information obtained
later, however, resulted in dose
watch being kept on him. until he is
either arrested or the police become
convinced he is not tho murderer,
The new turn In the mystery is said
to have followed the disclosure by Mrs
Marie Larsen, Elwell's housekeoper, I'M
der severe CrOss-eXaminatiOn Of AS
sistant District Attorney Doollng, that
there were three sets OF keys to the
turfman's home. One set Mrs. Larsen
told Doollng she kept, Elwell had an
other, and the third set she said was
found on the mantel In Eiwells bed
room the morning Of his death
The district attorney Is investigating
the possibility that the keys found on
the mantel may have been used by the
murderer to enter Elwells home.

TURKEY IS READY
TO SUBMIT REPLY
Sultan Expected to Back Ter
ritorial Demands of Ma

PARIS, June 26,--Turkey's peace
delegation was ready this morning to
submit that cpuntry's reply to the terms
Of the treaty presented by the allied
nations. This reply was to have been
transmitted June II, but an extension
or time amounting to 15 days, was
granted on June z.
Advices from Constantinople would
appear to reflect a disposition on the
the view of the Turkish nationalists
who have insisted that any treaty
which deprives Turkey of Smyrna,
Eastern Thrace and Adrianople could
not be signed. 1t is said the territorial
limits fixed for the Armenian republic
would be accepted with the. provision
that the Armenian port of entry on the
Black sea must be outside Of Turkish
jurisdiction and that Turkey receive
compensation for districts Topped off
the Ottoman empire in the operation
of forming the new republic. Instruc-
tlons to this effect are said to have
been sent to the Turkish delegates here
Turkish nationalist forces are as
suming an aggressive attitude along
the eastern shore of the sea Of Mar
mora and the Dardanelles, but have
been forced to fall back before the ad-
hinterland. Advices state the nation
allsts have been forced to retreat north
of the Greek area of occupation, and
that nationalist army corps has been
captured by the Greeks at Ala Shehr,
sS miles east of Smyrna.
Should the Turkish protest against
the cession of Smyrna to Greece be
futile. however, 1t is believed the ma
tionalists viii concentrate their armies
for a drive against that city. They
have forces at strategic points in West
ern Asia Minor, and seem to be in a
position to throw heavy columns into
an advance intended TO oust the Greeks
from the area they now hold.
