Ward went to New York last night

unsuccessful quest.
Ward, who is the son of the presi-
dent Of the Ward Baking company,
is at liberty under bond OF $4,000.
Using list made up by Ward,
the party went into cabarets, res
taurants and cafes in the White Light
district and scrutinized every man
present. When the search along
Broadway and its side streets failed,
Ward and the others spent several
hours on the lower East Side, but
no men fitting the descriptions of
the two men sought could be found.

Ward. said Ross was confidence
