NEW YORK, June 21:-Whe-i

District Attorney Weeks will lay be-

in West 120th street last July,
A Igust and September, and the
scene of many gay parties.
What interest the grand jury may

and Peters first met and why Peters
was killed.
Wards wife and two children
went away last July. About that
time. according to reports made by
Harry Scott, superintendent of tie
Pinkertons, Walter Ward subleased
through Bing & Bing a two-room
furnished apartment for three
months in the Poinciana Apart
ments, No. 434 West 120th street.
1t is intimated that some of the
women alleged TO have made fire.
quent visits to the house will be able

SURROGATE NOT
NAMED AS YET
Think Edwards Is Trying to
Smooth Out MiddIesex
Factions

Although the appointment of a
surrogate has been expected hourly,
up to noon today no one had been
named to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Daniel w. Clayton.
1t is generally thought by political
observers that the holding up of the
naming of a successor to Mr.. Clayton
is due to efforts of Governor Edward
l. Edwards to solidify the county. in
other words to bring together all
factions in the interest of his cam
paign for United States senator.
The question of a solid support
between Edwards in this county is
known to be one of the most desired
phases of the campaign as now
mapped out. 1t has been ru-
mored that the demand throughout
the state in Democratic circles that
Judge George S. Silzer be a candi-
date for governor is mainly to bring
closer harmony between the fac
tions in the county and with the p
pointment of a surrogate suitable to
all interests, it is believed that the
governor would have the county
sewed up as far as his support is
concerned.
There is little doubt among Dem
ocratic politicians that the state
ment against Edwards. issued by
County Clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon,
when Edwards was first spoken of as
a candidate for United States sena-
tor will be used in this county by
the Republicans and it is ever held
that with the use of this statement
the Republicans may be able to do
some damage to Edwards campaign
here. However. with a concerted
support on the Democratic side. it
is said that the statement would not
prove as much of an asset to the
Republicans as If the Democratic
party is split.
