r'Bud) Stillman. Jr., started yester-
day afternoon for Canada, on what
Mrs. Stilman termed "the beginning
OF a fight for my life" She is going
into the Canadian North Woods to
make a personal investigation and to
talk TO the witnesses who will be
called at the divorce hearings in Mon
treal January IL to give testimony in

sled and snowshoes. A representative
of John F. Brennan, her chief counsel,
will accompany Mrs. Stillman on these

prominently in testimony at earlier
hearings In the suit. Witnesses swore
that in these towns they saw Mrs. Still

penings at the Stillman lodge which.
they said. they saw from ladders and
through keyholes. Ferdinand Page and
his son, Joseph Page. are to be called
at the hearings in Montreal. The de-
fense believes they will become the
''star" witnesses. with testimony only
q little short of startling.
Mrs. Stillman is undertaking the
Canadian trip because she believes the
crisis in the suit has been reached.
Where she will go the temperature
reaches as low as 40 degrees below zero
at this time of the year. To reach some
to travel many miles by snowshoes.
Mrs. Stillrnan said yesterday she real

wind her way up the st. Maurice River

proceed by sled to Grande Anse. At

have a cook hired Mrs. Stillman said
she will cook and Bud will wash the
dishes.

TRANSIT BOARD Is DEFIED
Hearing Called for Jan. 13 at

TRANSIT BOARD is DEFIED

The existing state of siege between the
State-born Transit Commission and the
Hylan city administration developed two
new incidents yesterday. Neither of them
seems to portend an early pact of dis
armament
II. Fl. La Guardia. who as a member
OF the Board of Estimate and President
OF the Board of Aldermen fades from
the political screen at midni=ht to-mor-
row. wrote to Mayor Hylan an open
letter, copies of which were distributed
from the City Hall. In it Major La
Guardia cited certain erroneous state
ments published recently, making It ap-
pear that the Staten Island project
which the Board of Estimate and its
engineers just now are Haunting jubi-
lantly in the face of the Port Authority
would involve an expenditure of $685.
coz, 900
The Major asserts that $1H ,oOo,O 900 is
the computed cost of the whole enter
prise, including not only the projected
tunnel linking Brooklyn and Staten ISL
and under the Narrows but also the
cost of "a belt line railroad from Ha-
worth to and including the proposed
freight classification yard in the Bor-
ough of Richmond. complete trunk
line, freight and passenger tunnel across
the Narrows, a complete industrial rail-
road along the Brooklyn waterfront
from Bay Ridge to Newtown Creek and
complete link between the New York
Central and the New York, New Haven
and Hartford
The erroneous newspaper statements,
Major La Guardia informs the Mayor,
were either inspired by or perhaps
emanated from the Transit Commission -
Chairman McAneny of the Transit
Commission was out of the city yester-
day. Commissioner Leroy Hardness,
however. said
Major La Guardia is mistaken in his
major premise. No such figures ever
emanated from this commission or any
member thereof. nor were they inspired
from this office directly or indirectly
In any way, shape or FORM
The second episode accentuating the
ruffled feelings of the two antagonistic
bodies polite was the mailing from the
City Hall Of printed postal cards signed
by Joseph Haag, secretary of the Board
CT Estimate, giving notice of public
hearing by that board at 10 80 A. NJ,
January 13, in the City Hall, ION the
question of the adoption of a policy by
the board with respect to future con-
sruction of rapid transit railroads in
the city Of New York, under which the
construction of subways will be favored
os against elevated structures"
Members of the Transit Commission
see in the postal card summons to a
public hearing no more useful purpose
than an effort to create an atmosphere
Of antagonism toward plans the details
CT which have not yet been revealed.
