DAUCHERTY'S SUN CALLED IN PROBE 0F MODEL { DEATH
Young CIubman May Throw Light Upon Murder
 Mystery

NEW YoRk, March 2..--The dis trict attorneys office tonight still was trying to locate Maj. Draper NJ. Daugherty, only son of the Attorney General of the United States. and the latest character added to the Dorothy Keenan murder case.
 Attracted by newspaper stories, quoting Daugherty as saying that he had visited the model in her apart ment and once had given her a check Assistant District Attorney Pecora and Police Inspector Coughlin both evinced a. strong desire to question the young clubman.
 By examination of him they hoped to get additional facts to link with those supplied by John Kearsley Mitchell of Philadelphia, son-in-law of E. T. Stotesbury. and reported to be an elderly admirer of the slain sirl, in an effort to develop tho off cial theory that blackmailers had sought to use the Broadway butter fly to bait their traps.
 Daugherty was not available at his club here, and from Atlantic City. where he was reported to have gone,

thing more than surface ripples. They believe that the flat declaration made by Weeks will tend to bring these powerful eastern interests into line. The Secretary of War spoke infor- mally but emphatically.
 "The President will be renominated next year, and, in my opinion, he will be reelected" Secretary Weeks said "I am not commissioned to speak for him, but have no hesitation in mak . ing that statement"
 LaFollette only Rival.
 Weeks regards LaFollette as the only possible candidate who will of fer any real opposition to Harding statement mentioned perpetual candidate and was assumed to refer to LaFollette, although the Wisconsin senator was not mentioned by name.
 As to the issues, the secretary ot war believes these will have to take shape later. He expects the interna- tional court plan to be settled one way or the other by the Senate long in advance of the campaign and thac this would exclude 1t from being a live issue in the election.
 Weeks is undisturbed by sugges- tions that the current wave of pros perity will subside before the cam paign season begins. He predicts It will last through another 12 months. Taking the same view that Governor Crissinger, of the federal reserve board did in a recent interview. Like other administration friends, Weeks is counting on prosperity as one of the big selling arguments for the republicans in 1924.
 Is Third Announcement.
 His announcement regarding Hard ing's candidacy is the third to De made from the Cabinet. It has given rise to the belief that one by one the Cabinet members are making state ments regarding Harding's renomi nation in order to keep his candidacy before the country. Each announce ment thus far has served to impress Harding's intentions on a particular section or class of voters. Secretary of Commerce Hoover spoke first It was regarded as significant that he made his statement in the home state of Hiram Johnson. Then At torney General Daugherty came for ward ten days ago to head off pro gressives who were poaching on tht preserves of the party regulars. Now Secretary of War Weeks speaks to powerful following in the east, jus as Fred w. Jpham. treasurer of the republican national committee, start' out to fill up the presidential cam paign chest. Upham had several con ferences here recently preparatory to raising party funds.

 Meanwhile the report went tho rounds that Mitchell, who joined his wife today while she was speeding north with her father, soon would be questioned again by the. district at torney's office, but at the district at torney's office it was said no further appointment had been made.
 Mir. Pecora took official cognizance of the statement appearing Tn tnls mornings papers from Frederick E. Goldsmith, attorney for Albert E. Gull mares. another admirer of Miss kee- nan.
 E Referring to the challenge from Goldsmith to attempt to connect ms client with either the murder or the blackmailing, MT. Pecora said:
 "No client either of MT. Goldsmith or any other lawyer in this or any other case with which I have any of ficial connection will ever get the benefit of premature arrest if can prevent it.
 Arrests will be in my cases not for the convenience of the suspects or their attorneys, but only sufficient legal evidence has been acquired to Justify them."
 Mr. Pecora tonight addressed a letter to Major Daugherty, request ing that he lay before the New York authorities all the inform/Iion he possessed concerning the blackmail conspiracy.

WILSON MAY INJECT LEAGUE AS ISSUE IN RACE FOR PRESIDENCY
Democrats Believe Action in Colorado Case Very
 Significant
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERAI.p AHashi hingfnn D C. March o1

The appeal by Woodrow Wilson to Governor Sweet of Colorado to ap- point as successor to the late Sena- tor Nicholson the personal friend of the former President, Huston Thomp- son. is taken by democratic poli- ticians here as positive indication that Mir. Wilson will not hesitate aggressively to play a part. in behalf of the League of Nations. in the next presidential campaign.
 This Is disconcerting to several who spoke today. for 1t is no secret that democratic strategists had con- ciuded to soft pedal, if possible. the issue involving the league in the 1924 fight. It is even speculated to- day that Wilson will indorse can didate for the nomination. and that the man indorsed will be former Justice Clarke of Ohio, who some time ago resigned the supreme court to educate the people to support the idea of America as a member of the league.
 Sets Precedent.
 While Wilson has injected himself or other occasions against individ- uals his request in behalf of Thomp- son set precedent. While President he called on the people to defeat Senators Vardaman of Mississippi and Hardwick of Georgia. and Rep resentatives Slayden of Texas and Huddleston of Alabama. His efforts were successful in all save the lat ter case. This year he made an unsuccessful attempt to defeat Sem ator Reed in Missouri. The only other instance in which Wilson, with suitable apology. attempted to inter fsre in state matters was when he asked Governor Kilby of Alabama to commute the death sentence of a negro soldier who had murdered a motorman, a favor which the gov .ernor could not grant
 Y The idea obtains here that Gov ernor Sweet who is described as radical will appoint democrat more of his own inclination than Thompson is said to be. But the Wilson appeal will bear weight, it is admitted

McADOO IS CROSSED
 WITH FATHER-IN-LA

DENVER. Col. March 27.--Guade- lejar, Mexico, where William G. Me Adoo, is visiting at the present time, may be out of touch with current news. And that may be the reason that McAdoo appears, on the face of things, to have Crossed his father-in-law, Woodrow Wilson. on the matter of a senatorial success sor to the late Samuel D. Nicholson of Colorado.
 However tho mix-up occurred, there is some comment in state house circles here. as the result of tele- gram received by Governor William E. Sweet, Tuesday. as follows:
 "i earnestly-Aope that you will appoint Morrison Shafroth United States senator. He is worthy in every way and his appointment will be pc culariy appropriate. William G. McAdoo."
 It was only Monday that Governor Sweet received telegram from Woodrow Wilson urging the appoint- nent of Huston Thompsan to sue ceed Nicholson. It is believed here that McAdoo. in his Mexican re- treat, probably did not know Of his father-in-law's action. Shafroth is the son of former United States Senator Shafroth, democrat.
