Possi bility of a long struggle In the courts over the constitutionality of Canada's drastic immigration act, under which it is proposed to deport Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive slayer of Stanford White, was discussed today by . both factions- gathered at Sherbrooke. Going over the situation informally William T. Jerome and District At torney Conger of Dutchess county, sat by a roaring wood fire In the Magog house, the storm center, since Thaw's arrival, of nearly all ' conferences autiut him.

Thaw continued today to show lit tle interest In"" anything except his ublicity plans. He Is mailing and telegraphing statements to papers in Vermont, where, notwithstanding all the theories of court delay here, he apparently expects to be deported. He I bo Insisted again today that In vrew of Jerome's presence here he wanted his lawyers to re-Issue a statement uotlng Jerome as saying in New York in 1908 that Thaw was sane. T. B. Whlllans of the Dominion Im migration department, was quoted to day as saying he placed no faith in fliaw's chances of testing the lmmi- ration act In the courts. We believe Harry Thaw will be promptly deported," he said, "and we don't place much faith In this story that he can make an Interna tional affair of his case. Our duty is simple. We will give Thaw a hear- n. As soon as he Is turned down y the minister of the interior, as have every reason to believe ne will be, then e will take Thaw to Vermont and turn him loose. That will settle our end of the affair. What happens in Vermont is none of our affair." Gentleman Roger" Thompson sent a message last night to his widowed mother in New York telling her not to worry. His case on a charge of aiding a lunatic to cross the border will come up before a police judge here on Friday. Thompson has not receded from his determination not to confess ana ten all about' his driving Thaw from Matteawan In the black car. His threat last week to tell all resulted in the immediate employment of coun sel for him by the Thawtfamily. A cold, drizzling rain fell mis rore- noon and crowds gathered In the ho tel corridor. Jerome explained his desire not to aay much about the Thaw case by emphasizing his anti pathy to Thaw and everything per talnlng to him, I'm sick to death of Tnaw; me mention of his name by anybody has made me sick for sometime now. 1 am sorry that I have had to take up the case again. Thaw's many lawyers, feaxrul lesi he hurt hi case with the erratic con duct of his self-planned press cam paign, hut him off from all interview todav. Thev obtained from the snerin an order to the governor of Sherbrooke tall that no one should see Thaw ex cept In the presence oi ome one oi - hi counsel. The order ervea two purposes. First. It prevent Thaw from giving out more rambling Interviews except surreptitiously, by messenger; aecond it would circumvent any aecret at tempt to obtain from him a abatement In which he might Inadvertently re veal aomethlng about the plot result Ing In hi releaae from Matteawan Although Thaw' counsel inaist tnai they will produce him In tha Superior ourt tomorrow morning on tna writ of habeas corpus and argue that his iletentinn In Sherbrooke on the pre ent commitment I lllegnl. It would not curpriae thoe who have followed the ramification of the rase If ni lawyer should abandon the writ and leave Thaw. In hi cell without further move until the opposition disclose Its hand.
