Police Believe Director Fay lor's Death Was Inspired by Revenge; Little Prog ress Made.

Los Angeles, Feb 4.-The murdei of William D. Taylor, director-in chief for the Famous Players-L -Lasks Corporation today remains as great a mystery as when his body was found in his home early Thursday morning.
 Police are convinced that revenge was the cause.
 They are inquiring into two pos sible underlying causes-jealousy be- cause of a woman and resentment over some action by Taylor.
 Efforts to locate Edward s. Sands, former secretary for Taylor, are be- ing continued His discovery is de- clared of the utmost importance The police did not say whether Sands was sought merely as a wit ness or for some other reason. Sands is declared to have been in Los Angeles within the last few days.
 The former secretary had not been in the city for several months previously. The police were seeking him on complaint of forgery made by Taylor The director charged Sands vanished after forging his name to check, and that money and other valuables disappeared at the same time.
 Police are also seeking man said to be New York broker, the friend of a movie actress whose name they will not reveal. He came here from the East, they say, short ly after the actress came.

 The dainty figure of Miss Claire Windsor, moving picture actress, was rudely thrust yesterday into the weird mystery in the murder of Will liam Duncan Taylor, shot to death in his home on Wednesday night.
 Miss Windsor is but one of a number of movie stars playing in the limelight turned on the murder. She shares the stage with Mabel Normand, Mary Miles Minter and Edna Purviance.
 A week ago Wednesday night MT. Taylor and a well known moving picture star called at the home of Miss Windsors mother, Mrs. G. E.. Cronk, in Third avenue, and asked to take Claire to a party in the Ambassador hotel.
 Claire went.
 It is declared that Taylor some few days later took Miss Windsor to another party and that nothing was heard of her again until Thurs day morning, some hours after Fay Tor was found cold and stiff in his luxurious apartment, bullet hole in his body,
 Miss Windsor could not be located yesterday. Her mother said she was "out on location" with Marshall Nelan, director. At the office of the director this was denied.
 Neilan, it was said, was on loca-  tion, but not Miss Windsor.
 Actress Has Vanished.
