Edgar Hoover, K1TI chief, was named last night as chief investigator of Brooklyn law enforcement agencies, described as the broadest corruption inquiry ever authorized in New York State. John Harlan Amen, aon-in-law of former President Grover Cleveland, and appointed by Gov.

Herbert H. Lehman to direct, the Inquiry, introduced Conway at a presa conference. By way of accentuating Amen's declaration that all his leading staff members would be strangers to Brooklyn, with no possible political entanglements there, Conway said, "I've been to Coney Island once but I didn't even know It was part of Broklyn." Conway, who ia 28 and tin-married, has been in charge since last March of the investigation of fraudulent claimants for the Association of Casualty and Insurance Executives. Amen said Conway was the only member of his investigating staff whose name would be made public because he "did not want other names circulated." Amen said Conway was "endorsed and recommended" by Hoover and that "nearly all other investigators will be FBI agents former FBI agents." After serving as special agent for the FPI in Atlanta, in 192S fnd 1923. in Chicago in 1930, in Washington from 1930 to 1932 and in New York in 1933, Conway ipsiT.ed for private law practice Oscar E.

Carlstrom, former state attoney general of Illinois. "I have never been active in politics except when I was director cf the Young lien's Republican Club of Illinois four years ago," s-Hiri Conway. "Rut two years ago I supportfd President Roosevelt and Henry Horner, Democratic rovernor of Illinois. I still am a Korner supporter but I think I am more of a Republican than a Democrat." The investigation will include the police departments, the courts, racketeering, the department of corrections and the selection of jurors. Lehman, Democratic governor, selected Amen, an independent Democrat, to head the inquiry after campaign broadsides against Brooklyn practices were fired by District Attorney Thomas E.

Dewey of Manhattan, the unsuccessful Republican nominee for governor in the November election. Amen insisted politics was "of no importance in this investigation." Conway was born and reared on a farm at Aledo, 111. He is a graduate of Columbia College, and Georgetown Law School. Washington. D.

Today noon the city, which seized the road for its debts, will ruction off its physical assets and the old railway will be torn down. The dizzy old road that with its ornate stations with their potbellied stoves, has been as much a part of the city of yesterday as was Castle Garden, was conceived by Dr. Rufus E. Gilbert, a Civil War veteran, as prestreamlined era proposition to work like tubes that carry pales slips and cash in a department store. Only it waa to carry passengers, instead.

First Plan Failed The metal tube that was to whisk people up Sixth Avenue and down it never developed. Dr. Gilbert was frozen out in the first the political tangles that have alternately greased the shrieking wheels and blocked them. When the road started 60 years and five and one-half months ago it was operated by a patented cable system and the company proudly announced on July 3, 1878, that a car had made the run from the Battery to Cortland "easily starting at a rate of five miles an hour and increasing to a speed of 10 miles an hour." Later the speed was increased to 15 miles an hour, the cable cars $2.50 DOWN $2.50 WEEKLY It was back in 1867 that New Yorkers saw the amazing sight pictured in Museum of the City of New York photo above.
