Bartlett Make Strong State ment in Ber Behalf HABEAS CORPUS CASE Postponed Today, With Asy lum Authorities Fighting Against Harry's Release (By leased Wire to The Times.) Now York, May 4 Harry K. Thaw's fight to obtain ills release from Matteawan, where lie was sent us insane after his acquittal of the murder of Stanford White, was post poned -today' before .Judge Morscb.au ser in Poughkeepsie on a habeas cor pus proeeedin to test his sanity. With his mother and wife to aid, Thaw, by his attorney, will bietoriy light District Attorney Jeroina's in tention to have his action for free dom tried in New York county, nntl is eager to leave to the Poughkpppsle jurist as sole arbitrator the quest ijn as to whether he had been: restored to his right mind. Reports that Thaw's mother ;r.ul family were opposing his effort Ad gain freedom from Matteawan have been deaied by Col. Franklin Bart lett, attorney for Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, who gave out a statement: "I am authorized by Mrs. William Thaw," said Colonel Bartlett, "io say that the wild stories to the. ef fect that the members of the Thaw family are opposed to her Bon's movement for release are without foundation. I have here her letter in her own handwriting, asking me to make this statement: ' While it is not necessary for (he members of the Thaw family to take any active part In. the matter, all are in full sympathy with him.- "At no time has Mrs. William Thaw been reconciled to her son's detention in Matteawan asylum, bul the order of the court was so swiftly carried out that there was no oppor- : tunity for remonstration against committing the acquitted man to an . asylum for the criminal insane. "It has been Mrs. Thaw's long- cherished desire that her son should accomuanv her to Europe, and for this she has all the more patlentl endured until the present time. "In her letter to me Inclosing the statement that I have made she : says: "'It will not do to allow the im pression to gain ground, as it surely would if not contradicted, that his family, notably myself, are opposed to what he Is doing.' "There Is not a particle of doubt In my mind that he should be re- leased, though I am not his attorney in the habeas corpus proceedings But the courts here have declared hlra innocent of the crime of which lie Was accused; Innocent because of insanity on the night he killed White. I saw him and talked with him last Thursday, and I was im pressed wita the fact that he Is per feetly sane." Will Evelyn Show Vp? Whether Evelyn Thaw will appear J In the proceedings to have her hus band released Is not known. It Is known, however, that; she has been subpoenaed. When the Thaw family gave her $75,000 and Bellied an al lowance of $16,000 a year on her, she agreed Bhe would hold herself In readiness to testify for her hus band whenever he took steps to get out of Matteawan. Her action for the annulment of he i marriage Is still pending, however, and her friends fear that If It is proved Thaw Is sane now and is discharged from custody, he will step In and make a hard light against having bis mar riage', annulled. The ground on which the annulment Is sought Is that he was insane when the cere miy was performed. Thaw, It is known, Is still deeply in love with his wife. .-'..; .- Thaw's flght to be found sane now will place him In a peculiar position. His wife maintains be has been in sane practically from birth, and that he was insane when he married her. A jury found him insane when he killed Stanford White.

POLITICAL PROGRAM FOR COMING WKKK IN VARIOUS STATUS. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, May 4 Six republican stale conventions, some of which will likely assume considerable importance as showing the direction Of the political wind, will be held during Hie coming week. The first of these will be the New Jersey convention, to bo held in Trenton on Tuesday, when four delegates at large and twenty district delegates will be selected. It is expected, that Gov. Fort, who has been prominently mentioned as Taffs running mate in the presidential race, will be ehosei" to -head the Jersey delegation. A delegation favorable to Taft will almost certainly' be elected, and there is a possibility that the convention mny en dorse the war secretary, although many of ".the party leaders favor an uninstructed delegation. On Tuesday and Wednesday 'the republican (date 'convention of Connecticut will be in session at Hartford, and it 'now. appears, likely that It will send a delegation 'instructed for Taft;. to Chi cago. The strenuous efforts made by the. .t Hughes boomers in New York's neighboring state have no', mot with the succkss an ticipated. Stamford, which is nearest to New York of Connect icut cities and where Gov. Hughes was supposed 'io have been snoug-. est, endorsed Secretary Taft 'at a .caucus, and similar rt ! i'.:i . lias been taken In many Oilier cities. . Both Senator .i'uc!;i,.v ami Sen-, a lor , Bruiidagee, Connecticut's, representatives in t.lu; u pij.-m house, of congress, are opposed to Taft, end Will probably use their in fluence to prevent, .liis endorsement, it is nnlil-roiy. liov.uver, t .hat,' their influence will be sufficient to thwart the ol.j.v-i ! the Tuft '.adherents, which is to tie up the Coniiee'.ii'Ut '.dcli'fcs'. i.ii,:i hard and fast for their candidate. What promises to be the most interesting conveiiiion of tin1 week will be that of Kentucky, to be held in Louisville on Wed nesday.' The republican state commi'ite p( the Blue 'Grass Si.it" has not gone on record as favoring any candidate and a free-for-all fight has been waged between the supporters of the Various .presidential; aspirants. The contest is chiefly between the .Taft and Fairbanks forces! ' lion. W. O. -Bradley. Kentucky's republi-:. can senator-elect, is. leading the light . ;foiv ; Vice-President Fair--banks and has been stumping the state for the Indiana -man. A .majority of the district conventions will be held on Tuesday, .the' d.iy preceding the state convention. Alabama will have another republican slate convention to be h"ld in Birmingham Wednesday. State Chairman -..I.-A. Thomp son's wing of the party, which claims to be the official, legal and bona fide republican party of Alabama, will meet on thai date to endorse the administration of President . Uooseyolt and I lie presi dential candidacy ot Sevietaty Taft and to select a. delegation favorable to the latter. It is probable that three delegations will, contest .for seats in the national convention as Alabama's representatives, but the adherents of the Thompson faction declare that their delegation is certain to be seated. On Thursday the republicans of Wyoming and I'tah will hold their state conventions, the former in Lander -and the latter in Salt Lake City. Both conventions will probably endorse Secre tary Taft. Primaries will be held in California on Tuesday, at which dele gates to state conventions, which In turn will select delegates to the national convention will be selected. The war in both the re publican and democratic parties against the "organization" lias been carried on in a vigorous manner and there is likely to be a big vote at the primaries for political reform. The arrival of the 'Pacific; fleet at San Francisco has been postponed for one day, so as not to interfere with the patriotic duties of the voters. In democratic circles, principal Interest will attach to the state conventions to be held next week in Massachusetts and Ohio, the former In Boston on Thursday and the latter in Columbus on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Ohio democratic central committee has gone on record as favoring Bryan. In Massachusetts a split is evident, and it is highly probable that there will be two dele-'gatlons-at-large, to Denver, one favoring Bryan and the other op posed to his nomination. George Fred Williams is leading the Bryan hosts lr, the battle for supremacy, while William A. Gaston I o o o O". o O. ' o 0 a o o o a a a o o o o o a o o o 0 o 0 o 0 a a a and Charles S.

Joel Kinney, son of the late Francis Sher wood Kinney, of the Kinney Tobacco 1 Company, was located recently after having been absent from him 15 yars, ". As soon as ho was found he was lost asaln f nd E. C. Rand, of the" New York district attorney's of ilco, lias bten compelled to return without the young inaii for whom he came and Is minus $500 he gave to get Kinney into his custody. Young Kinney, according to Rand, quarreled with his father 15 years ago and was sent on a trip around the world in a chartered sailing ves sel, accompanied by detectives whose duty it was to see that he did not re turn to New York. Through Dis trict Attorney Jerome's office young Kinney was traced to Los Angeles and Mr. Rand was sent for him. "I was approached by two well known Los Angeles men," said Mr. Rand, "shortly after I arrived. They offered to bring young Kinney to me, but demanded- a sura of money for their services. Detectives had failed and, after beating them down to $500, I decided to take their offer. "They brought the young man and I paid the money.
