Eigh Personages Aided Him,

Will Go to Jail.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Low
IN funds, willing to do his bit in
prison as a Stacker and ready to
expose those who aided his sensa-
tlonai escape, Grover Cleveland
hergdoll is preparing to return
to the United States, Norman
Hapgood, editor of HearStss In
ternational magazine, declared to-
day following receipt of a cable
gram from 3 representative in
Berlin.
AnnOunced BY Writer.
The announcement came in con.
nection with an article appearing
In the April issue Of the magazine,
issued today, written by Leighton
Blood. who declares he went to
Germany as a representative of
the American Legion ana with the
approval Of the State Department
and obtained Bergdoll's promise to
Surrender.

Helped By High Officials.
Bergdoll's escape in April, 1920.
Blood says, was lone of the best
arranged affairs in the history Of
America" Those responsible for
It, the article states, were men
high In the confidence Of their
government"
After several conferences with
Bergdoll at Eberbach, according to
BlOod's account, Bergdoll agreed to
return to the United States. Only
the closing up Of his affairs, it is
said, holds UP his departure.
Bergdoll has collected a quantity
OF scientific instruments which can.
not be taken out of Germany and
must be disposed of, and has leased
several game preserves in Baden
that he must liquidate, Blood de-
clares.
The chief motive behind Berg
dolls abandonment Of his exile, &C.
cording to Blood, is the pinched
condition Of his finances.
The funds he took with him on
his Tight were soon dissipated, the
article said, and the Governments
seizure and retention of more than
$750,O0Q worth of his property de.
prived him Of an income of approx.
mately $1,000 a week.
BY coming home, he was told, he
could serve his sentence, receive
back his property and live his life
Behind the mission of Blood to
Eberbach, the article says, are Le-

a claim that any effort along this line would be futile since the mayor might again veto their action, and not hav- ing cited specific instances of par tiality in salary increases. they were not aware as to how they could meet the executive's pleasure. This being the case there was no alternative. but to allow the veto to stand and at tempt no further increases, the re- publicans- will say in their campaign attack on the democratic administra- ton, according to the political seers. An attack could then be launched on the administration for withholding from deserving employees salary in- creases and the claim might be made that the democrats are not in favor of salary increases.
 The democratic leaders say, how ever. that they are ready to meet this argument on the stump and would welcome the injection of salary is- sue into the campaign. Should the G. O. P. see fit to charge the democratic administration with killing salary in creases. they will argue the inconsist- ency of some of the increases voted, laying special stress upon the repub- lican movement to standardize wom- ems salaries regardless of their abili- ties or term of city service, they say.
