New York Merchant Accuses
Canadian Physician Of Sell

Davia T. Rogow of Ii Morningside
avenue, a pearl merchant with offices
in 25 East Twenty-fifth street, has be-
gun a suit in the Supreme Court against
Cranky Staunton Howard of Carleton
Place. Ontario. alleging that Howard
had sold to him for $150.000 eighty
seven paintings purporting to be by such
artists as Rembrandt, Titan and Gains
borough, but which in reality were cop
les Mr.. Rogow alleges that he learned
that the pictures were not originals
when he called experts in to examine
them.
Attorneys for Mr.. Rogow yesterday
said that in addition to Rembrandt.
Titan and Gansborough, the collection
included paintings which Mr.. Rogow
was told were by Rubens, Inness and
other famous old masters and modern
painters. Had all the paintings been
genuine the collection would have been
worth more than $1.00o.000. but as
copies their worth is alleged to be much
less even than Mr. Rogow paid for them.
Mr.. Rogow, 1t Is alleged. is not an art
collector or an expert, and bought the
pictures solely as n speculation, intend
ing to resell them in the United States
at profit. He did not at the time of
purchase employ experts to pass upon
them.
Mr. Rogow alleges that Howard rep
resented himself eas physician with n
collection of paintings by famous ar
lists which he was willing to dispose OF
at low price because he was growing
old and wanted neither the collection
nor any great sum of money in his old
age. The sale was made and the pic

Rogow began negotiations for their sale

vote of II to 3, refused tonight to con-
firm the nomination by Gov. Edwards
of James r. Nugent as Prosecutor OF
Essex county. The action Of the Senate
is the result of weeks vigorous cam
paigning by the anti-saloon, church and
other dry forces.
The death blow Of the Nugent hopes
was given when the Republican Senators
virtually agreed at an informal caucus
to make the question Of confirming the
Democratic leader a party measure.
The supporters Of Mr.. Nugent appar-
emily had given up all thought of his
confirmation when an executive session
of the Senate was called soon after 8
o'clock.
Throughout the evening friends and
opponents of Mr.. Nugent thronged the
State House, and during the day letters
and telegrams, principally from dry
sources. poured In urging his rejection.
Senator David II. Agans democrat,
Hunterdon) joined the Republicans SEN
ators in voting against Mr.. Nugent, and
Senator Kays democrat, Sussex was
absent.
The drys based their opposition to
Mr. Nugent on the ground that his OBJ
lection to prohibition would prevent him
from enforcing impartially the laws on
this subject The fact that Mr.. Nugent
had written letters to members of the
Senate declaring that II confirmed he
would enforce the laws on the statute
books did not help him. The Senators
admittedly were fearful of the result
of running counter to the expressed
wishes of many Of the churches of the
State.
Some of the Republican Senators who
promised to vote for Mr.. Nugent before
the campaign against confirmation
reached alarming proportions asked dur
ing the day to be released from their
pledges. The releases were given.
Gov. Edwards replied to-day to recent
criticism of his opposition to prohibition.
He said:
Neither ethics nor customs compels
US to remain silent II we believe pro-
hibition Is wrong in theory or incapable
Of enforcement and that 1t is hothouse
for anarchy and lawlessness.
"In an interview last week Gov. Miller
attributed crime in part to prohibition.

seems to refuse to obey law regarded
