NEWARK OR JERSEY
CITY TO GET FIGHT

NEW YORK. April IL Omitted
Press) .-Newark or Jersey City is
expected to get the call for the
-Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
Tex Richards announcement that
the big arena will be used for other
championship fights during the sum-
mer is thought TO be the sleeper
that puts Atlantic City out OF the
running.
There are other reasons to believe
that one OF the two cities within a
stones throw" OF Times Square will
be favored.
When Atlantic City first entered
the field OF candidates more than a
month ago. Rickard told the writer
Il was not a logical contender" He
pointed the fact that July ? is in the
middle season at the popular water
ing place when hotel accommoda
tions are always at a premium and
when standing room on the trains is
frst-class passage.
Rickard may have changed his
mind since then. however.
Jersey City is fifteen minutes from
Broadway and Newark is only halt
an hour away.

Ex-lnSpector Takes Stand at
Meyer Committee in Effort
to Clear Himself.
SAYS AUDlTORE LIED.
Admits Buying Home in Suf-
fern From Estate of Mrs.
Thomas F. Ryan.

Former Police Inspector Edward
P. Hughes. at his own request, was
recalled to the witness stand before
the Meyer committee to-day. He
angrily denied that he had ever told
James Auditore. the millionaire
stevedore, that Police Commissioner
Enright was "50-5O partner" in the
Edward P. Hughes Detective Service.
Hughes was asked about his tinan-
cial affairs and his prosperity since
he retired from the Police Depart
ment. He was questioned as to his
financial relations with Allan =.
Ryan, with whose brokerage house
he did business running into tens Of
thousands Of dollars.
The accounts showed that prior to
Feb. 2S, 1918, when he was retired
from the Police Department. his ag-
gregate dealings in Wall Street in &C
count with Allan A Ryan. the Special
Deputy Commissioner who made $12,-
900 'in the market" for Commissioner
Enright. amounted to the modest sum
OF $2,325.14. During 1918 Hughes's
Wall Street dealings increased to
$1,000 and IN 1919 they jumped to
$105.OOO.
Did you purchase house from Mr..
Ryan," asked Mr.. Brown.
mo SIR" said Mr.. Hughes.
From whom did you purchase your
Suffern house?"
From the executors OF tho estate
Of Mrs. Thomas II. Ryan"
Has Mr.. Enright visited you at
Suffern?" asked Mr.. Brown.
"Yes, two or three times In the last
three years." said the ex-Inspector
Mr.. Brown said he would call Mr..
Hughes later to question him regard
ing the use Of his operatives in the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike in 1913,
TELLS HOW HUGHES TREATED
TO WINE
James Auditore followed Mr.
Hughes on the stand and swore again
to the statements he made op Mon
day.
"As for Eddie Hughes saying he
ever bought me a dinner" roared
the stevedore. II don't think Eddie
Hughes ever had pockets when he
went out with me. The only time he
ever gave me anything was when he
took me to saloon In Brooklyn and
took q bottle Of champagne from the
