Colonel Kimberling will take over
the grim errand.
Meantime, it was reported on
excellent authority that Governor
Hoffman will deliver q last talk
or die ultimatum to Hauptmann
at the prison today through the
prisoners latest attorney, Samuel
Leibowitz, Of New York.
Leibowitz will inform Haupt-
mann that his only chance Of
escaping the chair now, with all
legal moves exhausted, Is to "tell
the full truth, name accomplices"
and attempt to win clemency.
He Is expected to tell Haupt-
mann that If he still refuses to
''tell all he knows" the governor
viii refuse to grant another re-
prieve. This would doom Haupt-
mann beyond hope.
LeibOwitz May Quit
IF Hauptmann refuses to talk, "
IieibowitZ will retire from the
case, it Is understood.
Relations between the governor,
the highly publicized New York
attorney and Fisher are said to
be strained as the result Of the
failure Of Leibowitz's strategy.
Leibowitz entered the case on the
condition that he could step out

The governor, LeibowitZ and
Fisher were reported to have held
Q long and stormy meeting in
New York last night as to the
next moves to be taken in the
case.
Wife Fearful
The first hint Of the conten-
ton behind the scenes in the de-
tense ranks came yesterday. Mrs.
Anna Hauptmann, the condemned
mans wife, admitted she has her
doubts about Leibowitz's activi-
ties. She asked Col. Mark o. Kim
berling, principal keeper at the
prison, to advise her on the wis
DOM Of letting the attorney grill
her husband again. Kimberling
declined to offer an opinion. Mrs.
Hauptmann said:
Richard says he viii convince
Mr.. Leibowitz he Is innocent.
"T want 70 do what is right,
but am always afraid what / am
doing is wrong. Richard knows
best, I guess"
The Shrewd Hauptmann will
see plenty Of reasons for refusing
to confess" For, no matter what
representations are held out to
him, o confession, even IL he names
accompliceS. cannot win him
clemency from the Court Of Par
dons. The best he could hope for
would be additional reprieves, tenn
porarily postponing the inevitable.

 The Town Hall, which housed exhibits of manufacturers in the city, has been cmptied of all ex- hibitS, and all but a few of the houses have been, stripped of all movable decorations and exhibits.
 Despite the repercussions re- sulting from the announcement that the local exhibition would not be continued, no definite &C., ti0n, has been taken as yet to establish the village as a per- manent institution. On the other hand, however, there has been no word as yet to the effect that the buildings will be torn down. If they remain standing for the win- ter, there is always the possibility that one of the many excellent plans offered recently will be worked out before next spring.
