With some success, Conway has been advertising in the local papers: "Buyers financed. You pick your business and ve finance you." His office, the ad said, was at 1414 Federal Street. One of Conway's customers, Richard Hufnagel, of 124 Schley Avenue, Ingram, became suspicious yesterday. He went to Conway's office to get $2,600 he had put up to buy Terry's Tavern, at 1412 Beaver Avenue.

Conway seemed reluctant to return the money. In fact, he tried to sneak out the back way, Mr. Hufnagel said. The customer grabbed the broker by the starched collar and hauled him down to the Northside police station. Northside Lieutenant Francis Walsh reported the case to detectives in headquarter-, but they already knew about Conway.

Earlier. Fight Manager Harry-Pit ier had claimed Conway took him for the $1,000 down pav-ment on a beer distributing agency. When Mr. Pitler, accompanied by Detectives Hympn La Belle and George Kosanovich. called on Conway, he returned thp money.

He wanted no dissatisfied customers. So the detectives let him go. After Mr. Hufnagel's complaint, however, they looked him for investigation. At least, detectives say, he's been running a brokerage business without a license.

Meanwhile, the investigation has turned up two more customers.
