ny iRi; Sidney Oondelm.m. l.iwycr. tin trial before omcial Referee Harrington Putnam for wholesale ambulance chasing, began today a determined fight to stave off the clay of reckoning without putting in a defense to the maw of evidence piled up against him by Mortimer W. Byera. named as prosecutor by the Appellate Division.

Gondelman's lawyer, John J. Cur-' tin, stuck in a new wedpe between the trial and an early decision by the Appellate Division by asking Referee Putnam to withhold his report to the higher court until Curl in can file and have decided an appeal from the order denvln most of his early plea for a bill ol particulars. Court Refuses Request. Putnam refused that naive request and ordered tiiat the final submission of briefs to lum must on or before Oct. 4.

As a result of tills derision there will be no serious delay because of the appeal which Mr. Curtin announced he will make to the Appellate Division or Oct. 1. The bill of particulars for which he asked was granted only to ne extent of requiring the investigators the secret ambulance chasing probe, ordered as a result of The Eagle's campaign, to tell the names of witnesses Gondelman approached in the effort to thwart the secret probe. In all other respects It was denied, although Gondelman de- mandrd that he be told the names of all persons to whom It would be 'claimed he paid money for negligence cases, what the cases were and the circumstances of his retainers.

Defense Still In Doubt. While endeavoring to postpone the date of the submission of the Oon-delman evidence to the Appellate Division, Curtin also evaded giving a final answer as to whether or not he would Interpose a defense. So far he has given the impression that there will be no defense, but the demand of Byers that Curtin say "yes or "no" on that point remained unanswered. Bytrs Promises Brief by Sept. 18.

The demand by Curtin that the prosecutor should point out to which of the various charges the thousands of detailed i'ems of evidence reter, was refused bv Byers, except to the extent that he will state in the brief to be submitted. He told Referee Putnam his brief will bo in about Sept 18, so it was not expected he will review the testimony In detail. This announcement prompted Curtin to remark caustically: "By of the failure to give a bill of particulars, the record of this trial as it now stands, as I read it, is a mass of conglomeraV testimony with no relvancy any particular charge. My point is best Illustrated by the fact that at past cessions when certain testimony was offered I asked counsel to state upon what particular charge the testimony bore, and he declined. That was not because he was lacking in frankness, but because he could not do it it was not clear to him.

All of this would have been obviated if we had had the bill of particulars. We had no definite chart to guide onr testimony. It was a deprivation of our rights." Byers' Reply. am not sure," said Mr. Byers.

"that any reply to what Mr. Curtin said Is In order. But he has not said what he Intends to do as attorney for the respondent after his appeal from the bill of particulars is de-tided. He may not make any defense. A review of the bill of particulars order could very well be comprehended by the Appellate Division when It passes on Your Honor's report.

But this trial proceeded, Mr. Curtin cross-examined and did Just as though the order on the bill of particulars motion was entirely satisfactory to him, so there is no reason now for delay on Your Yonor's part. Mr, Curtin is thoroughly capable of allocating the testimony with respect to the various charges and he would be the first to resent the idea that he needed any help. We intend to show those points in our brief, and. then we will have discharged our duty.

I hope Your Honor will not withhold your own report pending a decision on the bill appeal." Case Is Closed, Referee Says. "I can make no prediction as to when I shall report to the Appellate Division because of the arrearage of work, commented the referee. "I shail adhere to the practice of submitting the matter tn the Annpilnto 1 as soon as it Is completed. The case now closed." FRANCIS T. HUNTER DEFEATS SELIGSON Forest Hills, N.

H. Cash- REPUBLICANS HAIL MAINE LANDSLIDE AS BIG HOOVER AID Continued from Fage 1. exceeded Republican expectations irtnally 100 percent. Outlook in Other Rtutes. It Is pretty generally reearded that the result In Maine Is conclusive that the Democrats need entertain no hope of taking any one of the three States of northern New England.

New Hampsnire, in which the most optimistic of Democralic leaders have felt they had a chance, is so akin to Maine in outlook and In character of population that hopes of wresting It from Herbert Hoover go agllmmcrlng. The Republican leaders are ouick to pounce upon the argument that the Maine victory Is symptomatic of a clearly defined opposition to Smith in rural states of which the population Is largely old American stock. They naturally seek to annly this deduction to sections of the West and South. Apparently, however, It has to be qualified by the further defini tion that these rural States shall have no serious problem of farm relief as a major Issue In the campaign. Southern New England Situation.

Maine's large Republican majority Is not, from any surface Indication, at all conclusive of what will happen In the three southern New England States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. In these three States there has been some dislocation of industry, particu larly in the textiles, accompanied by labor unrest, with turbulence in the Old Bay State. Furthermore, they have large populations of foreign- born and first-generation Americans, and In them antl-Prohibltlon sentiment runs strong. By and large, they cannot be considered as so susceptible to prejudice against Governor Smith because of his wetness or his religious belief as their neighboring States to the north. To say, therefore, that the Maine result Is indicative of what may be expected to be the result in New Eng land as a whole would be to Ignore elements In the electorate that will weigh heavily on election day in November.

Intensifies No. Carolina Fight, Undoubtedly, the outcome in Maine will stimulate Republican effort tj carry hitherto Democratic States whose population Is largely made up of so-called native stock Americans. it Is safe to say that it will intensify the drive to wrest North Carolina, for example, from the Democratic col umn, in the hope of making the first leal break in the Solid South. Furthermore, the Maine result will hearten the Republican determination to carry States like Tennessee and Kentucky. Stronger effort on tho part of the Democrats by throwing a force of nationclly-known speakers Into Maine might have lessened the Republican majority there.

That, however, Is water over the dam. The Maine result, nevertheless, will have the effect of strengthening the Democratic efforts in States at all comparable in racial composition to Maine. Curtis and Work Tleased. Washington, Sept. 11 () Senator Curtis, Republican Vice Presidential nominee, declared today the Republican victory in Maine "is a sign of the trend in the national election." The Senator participated in the Maine campaign with speeches at Bangor and Portland last week.

"Maine has again pointed the way," said Chairman Work of the Republican National Committee, adding that a handsome majority had been expected, but the results "far exceeded our expectations." "They foreshadow an overwhelming majority for Hoover and Curtis In November," he continued. "TI13 Maine letums are doubly gratifying because the campaign was waged largely on national issues and on the record and achievement of the Administration and Republican Congress and the merits of appeal of the Hoover-Curtis ticket." The results of the Maine election were seen by John H. Barllett, First Assistant Postmaster General, who campaigned for the Republican ticket in the State, as indicating that "up-State New York will give Mr. Hoover 1.000.000 lead when Election Day comes." Detailed Vote In Races. Portland, Sent.

11 (1 Maine went Republican in tne State election yesterday by more tl.an a two-to-on. vote. The Republican majority fot Governor, which Senator Frederick Hale said in a campaign speech mus-go over 40.000 "or the re.it of the country will sav we have lost our grip," was upwards of 79.000. This was the largest majority ever given a candidate for Governor in Maine, the nearest approach being the Republican margin of 65.340 in 1920. In the Presidential election of 1924 Mr.

Coolidge carried the State by a plurality of 90,476 oj-er Dvis and by a majority of 83.094 over the combined vote of Davis and La Follette. With 30 precincts missing out of the 633 In the State, the vote was: For Governor: William T. Gardiner (R Edward C. Moran Jr. (D, 67,987.

For Senator: Frederick Hale CR), 141.745; Herbert E. Holmes 02,688, G. O. P. Congressman Except for one precinct In Portland where split ballot delayed tho counting, all the missing precincts were very small towns.

carried every county In the He carried all the cities except Blddeford and Lcwlston, both of which are normally Democratic by wide margins. The Republican victory was decisive In every content, the party's Congres-yonal candidates winning by even greater majorities than the Gubernatorial candidate. Congressmen Carroll L. Beedy, In the 1st District; Wallace H. White In the 2d, and John E.

Nelson In the all Republicans, were re-elected by substantial majorities and Donald W. Snow, Republican, won an easj victory In the 4th District. The closest contest was In the 2d District, There the Democrats had made their hardest campaign, their nominee for Governor and Senator both bclnc residents of that district. Governor-elect Gnrdlner Is a graduate of Harvard, where he took an active part in footba'l and rowing. He is a World War and a former Speaker of the House of Rcp-lChcntatives.

His home is In Gardiner and he la a law partner of Congressman Nelson. 1 Senator Hale was re-elected for his third term. The three Republican Congressmen re-elected all have served several terms. Contrary to predictions of a heavy vote freely made during the campaign, the total vote was about 45,000 less than that cast for Governor In the last Presidential election year, when Brewster, Republican, de feated Fattangall, Democrat, by a majority of 36,655. In the last State election two years ago the total vote was 181,524, and tha Republican ma jority for Governor was 20,028.

Raskob Is Unpertarbsd by G. 0. P. Victory in Mains; Sees Gain by Own Party Chairman Raskob of the Democratic National Committee said today he Is not the least bit disturbed over the three to one victory of the Republicans In Maine. He added that he had expected an ever greater Republican vote by reason of the active campaign carried on there by the G.

O. P. National Committee. He said that as a matter of fact, a comparison of yesterday's vote with the figures on the Presidential election four years ago In Maine shows that the Democratic vote has Increased 23,000 and the Republicans only 6,000. "The national Issues were not Involved in Maine at said the chairman.

"We regarded Maine as a Republican State and I am not surprised at yesterday's results. In view of the fact that we made no fight. I am rather surprised that the Republicans did not poll a larger vote," McCooey Not Worried Over Result in Maine John H. McCooey, Democratic leader of Kings County, is not worried over the Republican majority reported from the Maine election. "I can see no significance relative to the vote in Maine as affecting the Presidential election," he said today.

"Maine was a bone dry State many years before the adoption of the 18th Amendment. Maine has not awakened to the call for personal libsrty." DERTHIGK HONORED IN GRAND COUNCIL Glen Falls, N.

Starting out shortly after 1 o'clock with a pretty certain knowledge of what he will have to score to win the qualifying medal was George Voigl, Long Island's amateur and open champion. Just as he did yesterday, his tee shot went winging on to tne left into one of those bunkers that auard the fairway.

But, unlike his first round, he failed to make tne gieen with his pitch from the sand. Instead, his ball went through the leaves of the overhanging trees, which caromed his shot off Into the brook. Voigt here got a 6. That start, however, forecasted no blowup. He came right back with a sweet chip to the second green which gave him an eight-footer to sink for a birdie.

But later, at the seventh, the three-putted and fro mthls point right on to the finish he had a sniggle, a stern struggle, with par holding on grimly.

Five times he was In trouble and five times he escaped by chipping up to within five or six feet of the hole and getting down the putt. He got down from the edge of the green on the 18th In this fashion, by running up a 40-footer to within flvj lect ol the hole and canning the putt. Fownrs Keeps Up Ills Record. W. C.

A bitter fight for the Democratic leadership of the 22d A. left vacant by the death of Commissioner James P. Sinnott. looms after slumbering for two years. Tho fight Is between the regular Democratic organization of which Commissioner Sinnott was the head and mainstay, and whoso personal prestige had kept the various contestants quiet during tne late leader's long Illness, and the New Era Democratic Club, of which Clarence McEneny is executive member.

In addition to the struggle for the district leadership the fight is centering about the appointment of a successor to Commissioner Sinnott as a member of the Board of Water Supply, which carries a salary of $15,000. Commissioner Slnnott's nersonal popularity with County Leader John H. Mccooey and his long service of 25 years as leader of the district had prevented any real drive against the ieader. With his death all scruples are lifted and the fight is on In ear nest. Five in the Field.

CITY GAINS RIGHT FOR BOARDWALK AROUND SEA GATE tlnued from Page 1. Ihe purpose from the Sea Gate Association.

Boro President James J. Byrne of Brooklyn, who led the fight for the harbor line cancellation, said today that the city would not build such an extension for the present but would do so in the future, when Coney Is land had grown sufficiently to make this worth while. Meanwhile he was more interested in pushing the extension of Shore rd. toward Coney Island, including a bridge over Gravesend Bay, and hoped the Board of Estimate would make sufficient appropriations to make that possible. Shore Road Extension Now Possible.

The Army decision makes feasible the eventual building of a roadway around Coney Island to link up with Shore Road at Fort Hamilton. Last February a public hearing was held at the Army Building, 39 Whitehall Manhattan, to consider the application of the Board of Estimate discontinue the present harbor lines around Sea Gate and Gravesend Bay. Boro President Eyrne and Philip Farley, chief engineer in his office, supported the application on the ground that it was the only way to extend the Coney Island boardwalk beyond W. 37th st. into Sea Oate territory, without prohibitive cost.

rian Fought by Sea Gate. Opposing the application was the Sea Gate Association, represented by Meier Steinbrink, its attorney, and by Cornelius Callaghan, Its president. Harold L. Kreeger and William M. Smith, as well as a few property owners in Sea Gate, and some outside, supported the city's application.

The courts have ruled that property owners can secure compensation for what is known as 'upland," between high and low water; but under the present order of the War Department which changes the pierhead line no compensation from the city can be demanded when the boardwalk Is put through. The annual meeting of the Sea Gate Association was held last night and Mr. Callaghan and the members of the board of directors were re-elected. Meier Steinbrink, counsel to the association, reviewed the association's fight against the Erit Realty Company which is still in the courts. D'OLIER FEARED HE MUST MAKE BIG CAMPAIGN GIFT Continued from Page 1.

discovered shot to death In Maspeth a week ago Sunday. Conflicting re ports have been given the prosecutor as to whether the clothing was ai ready torn when the body was lo oated. indicating a struggle before death, or whether It was torn later, Mr. Newcombe added that he Is still pursuing the investigation on the theory that D'Olier was murdered. Although he would not say so, It was understood that the prosecutor now is convinced that the police have led him astray In the investigation.

Won't Ask for Inquiry. "Do you propose to make a complaint to Police Commissioner Warren," he was asked, "and request a Police Department investigation as to the wav the D'Olier matter was handled by the police?" "That would be presumptuous on my part." he replied. "It is not my function to tell the Commissioner how to run his department." During the week all the original facts have been changed. To show how police evidence has been twisted, here are the facts as they were orinl-nally and as they are now: 1 Originally St was said the body was lying head down, and feet up a 30-degree angle. Now it is reported 'he body was lying almost fiat with the feet only slightly higher than the head.

2 Originally it was said there was no blood near the body. Now It is said there was a great deal of blood under the hpad. 3 Originally it was said there were no bruises or Injuries other than the hole in the head made by the bullet. Now it is said that a cartilage on the rib was fractured. 4 Originally it was said there were no bruises on the back of the head although a large flat stone was lying 0 Originally It was said that the lapel was found torn when the body was discovered.

Now It Is said that an ambulance surgeon saw no rips so that there were no tears as the body fell to the spot in which It was found. The curious part of all these changes is that District Attorney Newcombe was as badly misinformed as were the reporters. He did nat know until yesterday that the clothes were not torn, according to Dr. Peter T. F.

Neyland, the ambulance surgeon, and he didn't learn It then until Neyland had made his second trip to the District Attorney's office. He didn't know until Sunday that the hand wasn't clutching the pistol but that it was Just spread on the butt of the gun. "I want to know who tore those clothes," the District Attorney said. But there was no evidence available to show that he will find out or that any one will ever find it out. Olier was found dead early on Sept.

2. a Sunday. The following Monday was a holiday, and the result was that almost no reporters went to the spot where the body was found before Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. One. who got there about noon Sunday, while tha body was still there, said he was told It was a suicide.

He told the police that D'Olier was a big figure In the Queens sewer scandal, and his information was responsible for stopping the police In officially calling It suicide. Since then there has been an Investigation. District Attorney Newcombe has been conducting it, but he has learned nothing, since the police have been the only sources available to him for uncovering Information. Rebukes the Police. "They have not turned In one single fact to show where D'Olier was the week before he died," said Newcombe today, "and they have not given me a thing to show where he went after he went to the Grrybar Building in Manhattan." Most of yesterday was taken up with talking to detectives.

Inspector Arthur Carey, chief of the Homicide Bureau, and Inspector John Gallagher, chief of Queens detectives, were with the District Attorney almost four hours. They didn't have lunch until after 4 oclock. And when Carey came out he whispered to two reporters: "Don't go off half cocked any more Don't make a fool out of yourself. lriis is a suicide. "Why?" asked the reporters.

"Go ask the District Attorney and don quote me, said Carey. Carey is being quoted. Because It is a fact that "his spokesman" last Thursday afternoon said D'Olier killed himself. District Attorney Nwcombo Is wait, lug only for the reports from hi: assistant, Thomas F. Thornton, who went to Kentucky to study the big road contract that Olier wa negoti ating there.

It was evident last night that Newcombe is v.ot wholly satisfied with the situation, although he admitted, what seemed louical enougn, that If the facts surrcunding the finding of the body were as they are now reported, and not as they were origin ally reported, suicide is a probability. What bothers Newcombe is that he cannot explain the misinformation, And in tnat connection efforts to get Inspector Gallagher lo talk at all have failed miserably. The Inspector mere ly walks away and keeps on walking. Detectives have said, and are say l.ng today "off the record" and very mysteriously that was a suicide But no police officer will talk officially, And from a source so close to District. Attorney Newcombc's office that there can be no drubt at all of lt authenticity, it was lenned today that the revolver was handled not twice, as has been reported, before it was taken for linger prints, but at least lour times.

"It qropped out of the hand and the doctor put it back," said that source, "a detective picked it up and broke it. Someone touched the body and the prun dropped aitain. A de tective picked it up and gnve it to another detective who put, it back "Do you know who those detectives were? the source was asked. "Not yet." was the ivply. husband objected to the radio, and Mrs.

Murdock was distracted by the sound of lee being cracked, and of women's voices. Mark Altar, counsel for the youths, pointed out that women's voices were not Illegal, and Magistrate Jesse Sllberman explained to Mrs. Murdock that he couldn pre vent young men from entertaining young women and cracking ice.

He defeated Julius Seligson of New York, 63, G-3, 7-5, in the initial second round match of the day. In the second game of the second set, Seligson performed a most unusual feat, scoring four service, aces Jn a row to win the game at love on Just four served balls.

He also took Hnuter's first two services, one ol them at love, to sweep the first three games. In Seligson's "all ace" game his service was whizzing over with the speed of the "cannon ball" of BUI Tllden himself. Hunter went out to beat Seligson by taking the net whenever possiule, unci these tactics enabled him to carry the first set. 63. Seligson in this set made the mistake of plav to Hunter's strong forehand, whereupon the Davis Cup star promptly drove deep to the baseline corners with all his tremend-; ous hitting power, then took the net to kill the necessarily weak return.

Seligson's spurt was short-lived, however, and Hunter, resuming his tactics of following his drives to the barrier for decisive volleys, won the second set ythe same score of 63, i running out In six straiRht games. Bellgson's service moderated somewhat after his great exhibition in the sec-end game and Hunter had no trouble In breaking through It. Glasgow. Scotland, Sept. 11 (IP) Intimate facts concerning the life and constitution of an electron science's smallest hypothetical division of matterwere revealed to the British Association for the Advancement of Science today through the efforts of an Englishman and an American.

For some time on one side of the Atlantic Dr. C. J. Davlsson of Columbia University and the Bell Telephone Laboratories has pursued his Investigation on the electron theory of matter, while on the other side Prof. G.

P. Thomson of England conducted nlmilnr researches. Today they combined their reports and told the convention that they had disapproved the former idea of mathematicians who said the electron had practically no magnitude but was a mere mathematical point. On the contrary, thev said, the electron is a very independent particle, with as much individuality as a human being. Electrons, they said, which are the components of atoms, undergo a creat expansion when they leave one atom, oftentimes expanding to a space ten lmes the size of the atom itself before re-entering another atom.

The scientifits compared the expansion to the opening of an umbrella. The electrons travel at an Incredible speed, they said, pointing out that as they travel they set up trains of waves, the faster the electron travels the larger the wave system accompanying it. The resulU of the scientists experiments were told today to a distinguished audience in which were Sir Wi Ham Bragg, president of the association, and Sir Oliver Lodge, both of whom participated in the discussions. They both declared the two men's work of Inestimable Importance, possibly changing the basla of all scientific investigation. 4 Because they entertained girls In their apartment, cracked Ice loudly enough for their neighbors to hear, arid kept the radio going after 10 o'clock at night.
