HEAVY FINE LOOMS FOR WALKER'S AID $100,000 Penalty Possible if Sherwood Fails to Re- turn for Probe. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 17.—Two pos- | sible means of getting Russell T. Sher- | wood, Mayor Walker's accountant, back ( to New York so he may be questioned | about stock transactions reported to | total nearly $1,000,000, appeared open today to the Hofstadter Legislative | Committee. | Sherwood, Izcated in Mexico City on | & honeymoon, is not only beyond the | Jurisdiction of the Inquiry Board, but is also beyond the extraditing power of ! the Federal Government, which is in- | vestigating his income tax returns. | Subpoena Considered. Because the United States treaty | with Mexico does not include tax of-! fenses among extraditable felonies, the | only course left open to authorities is to induce him to return voluntarily or to serve him with a subpoena in Mexic> Y. While Samuel Seabury, counsel for the committee, refused to discuss the case, there were reports he was con- sidering sending a telegrem to Am- bassador Reuben Clark at Mexico City Ifikln! him to serve a subpoena on Eherwood. If the witness were thus served, the committee might invoke a law under which a $100,000 fine may be imposed on any one who defics a legislative committee, after having been served personally with a subpoena. May Appeal to Walker. In connection with a possible at- tempt to induce Sherwood to return of his own volition, it was reported Seabury might appeal to Mayor Walker to urge his accountant to face the £ommittee’s questions. The mayor has denied shielding Bherwood and has said he had ‘“no objection” to his returning, although Seabury charged publicly the mayor was obstructing the inquiry by helping to keep the accountant out of the com- mittee’s jurisdiction. Efforts to learn where Sherwood was married were unavailing. When he was found in Atlantic City by Seabury late in August he was registered alone. No marriage license has been issued to him here. He left the Atlantic City hotel August 30. LONGSHOREMEN'S STRIKE SETTLEMENT EXPECTED Boston Local of Union Seeking In- ternational Charter " Restoration. By the Associated Press.
