Putative "Master Mind" of
$5,000,000 Plot Arrested.
WORLD-WIDESEARCH MADE
Elusive "Nicky" Arnstcin Released
on $75,000 Bail New York
Police Arc Mocked.
NEW YORK, May 13. Jules W.
"Nicky") Arnstein, punitive "mas
ter mind" of New York's $5,000,000
bond theft plot, was arrested here
today in the district attorney's office
when he appeared there with his wife,
Kannie Brice, the actress.
Arnstein told reporters he had been
in Pittsburg all the time the police
have been loosing for him. The elu
sive "Nicky" described to newspaper
men an entrance into the city unde
tected. According to his s'.ory, he arrived
from Pittsburg at 9 o'clock this morn
ing and went directly to Columbus
avenue and Nineteenth street, where
he was met by his wife in her auto
mobile. They drove down Fifth ave
nue unrecognized.
"Nicky" ran into his police pursuers,
thousands strong, forming for the
annual New York police parade.
Hat Mockingly Lifted.
Arnstein ' said that when the ma
chine passed the grandstand erected
for the police parade he arose from
his seat and mockingly lifted his hat
to the high officials of the New York
police force. Fearing he would be
recognized, Miss Brice pulled her hus
band down into his seat.
Bail for Arnstein was fixed at
75,000. The indictment specifically
charges him with criminally receiv
ing; $42,000 worth of Crucible Steel
stock certificates which were stolen
last October.
Arnstein was admitted to bail and
released from the Tombs shortly
after two o'clock. Everywhere he
went he was cheered by those who
recognized him.
Arnstein has been sought by the
police of two continents as the al
leged head of a gang of conspirators
who, the police state, through dis
honest Wall street messengers, have
stolen between $1,500,000 to $5,000,000
in negotiable securities. He disap
peared from New York last February,
jedio ago ne was arrested in
i.onoon and extradited to New York
for swindling William E. Shinks of
hpringfield, Mass., out of $15,000
tnrougn worthless securities. He
servea less than a year of a two-year
sentence in Sing Sing. He is 42 years
uiu auu me son ot.a iew lork busi

Bon Get Small Share-
According to the police, Arnstein
ana nis associates put the securities
up as collateral for loans in various
cities. The boys and men who an-
tually purloined the stocks and bonds
inus disposed of received less than
quarter of their value, the police said.
Arnstein's name came into promi
nence in xvew lorks $5000,000 bond
plot shortly before he disappeared.

CONVENTION IS UNCERTAIN
Continued From First Page.)
this.. They have the widest varia
tion in their binding quality.
Ohio Delegates Mut Sinn.
In Ohio, for example, the delegate
Is required to sign a declaration say
ing, "1 shall, to the best of my Judg
ment and ability, support" the presi
dential candidate who carries the
state. That is one of the most bind
ing of the statutes, and it doesn't
bind very firmly.
In Illinois the statute says that the
result of the presidential primary
"shall be . . . considered as advis
ory." The Montana primary statute re
quires the delegate "to the best of his
Judgment and ability to faithfully
carry out the wishes of his political
iy as expressed by its voters" in
the primary.
In Nebraska, by a court decision
the presidential primary is only mor
ally binding on delegates.
New Hampshire has the only really
binding law. The delegates from that
slate are required to vote for the
primary, "so long as he shall be a
candidate who won the presidential
candidate before the convention "
The net of all these laws and the
?hTSMthft..haVe grown " "round
them is that "instructions" are a loose
and variable quantity; and. in a tense
me convention floor,
undependable.
taken Johnson and Michigan as one
example. The same conditions apply
in degree to all the other candidates
and all the othor states.)
I have given enough examples to
show -what a loose and undependable
quantity these "instructed" delegates
are. Practically speaking, as soon as
the convention really gets under way,
these "instructions" are almost negli
gible. The candidate who wins in the con
vention will win through the votes of
delegates who are in favor of him and
who vote for him because of reasons
other than their primary instructions.
About SO Held Really Wood Men.
The truth is, the number of dele
gates who are committed by their
hearts as distinct from being in
structed by the primaries is very
small. Wood has 136 "instructed"
delegates. Of the 136, I think It fair
to say, from fairly extensive acquaint
ance, that not more than 80 are really
"Wood men"; are, so to speak, "Woo
or die" men; are Wood men in the
sense in which, in the 1912 conven
tion, delegate, were "Roosevelt men"
or "Taft men.- 1
For example, the 16 Maryland dele
gates are "instructed" for Wood. But
that does not .fecessarily mean that
their hearts are for Wood. The Mary
land organization merely turned to
Wood when their state was invaded
by Johnson, as a device, a symbol to
vote under.
And if Wood has 80, Johnson has
not more than 50, and Lowden no
more. All in all, certainly not over
200 delegates are thoroughly and
finally committed to any one candi
date so that they will continue ballot
ing for him to the end.
SOO Without Commitments.
Practically 800 of the 984 delegates
are without commitments, v and will
act in the convention according to
their interests at the time, and ac
cording to the conditions as "They
arise.
It will be an open convention. It
will be a convention which may nomi-'
nate any one of the present leaders
or, with equal readiness, may nomi
nate a dark horse. It will be a. con
vention in which almost anything
may happen, from making a nomina
tion on the first ballot to falling into
a snarling deadlock lasting for days.
In the absence of crystallization,
what we have during these pre-con-vention
weeks is a fluid state, a state
which is in flux without being cha
otic. The situation is not "set," and
there-are only faint signs of its be
ginning to "set." An occasional state
leader, comes to Washington to in
quire how other state leaders feel,
and finds that everybody else is of
about the same uncertain mind as
himself.
Here and there an occasional focus
of concentration develops, the princi
pal one being Senator Penrose. But I
am confident that not anywhere yet
is there any group of delegates as
large as 275 who are of ,a common
mind and who may be expe'eted to act
cohesively under a common leadership
on a progrannme planned beforehand.
There are no cohesive groups be
cause there are no Btrong leaders for
them to gather round. Penrose is
perhaps the strongest, but for several
reasons he has fallen far short of his
old-time strength. Neither among the
candidates nor among the leaders is
there any strong men capable of mag
netizing the fragments and summon
ing the scattered elements into ordsr
and sequence.

Come row to the actual facts as
they affect the fortunes of the vari
ous candidates: For example, John
son carried the Michigan presidential
primary by a large majority. The 30
celcgates from Michigan are "in
structed" to vote for Johnson. But,
as I have already said, these 30 dele-Bates-
could, if they wished, satisfy
the Michigan stitute by voting for
Johnson once .and then going on the
second ballot wherever their hearts
carry them, either individually or as
a group.
Now the fact about these Michigan
delegates is that, with just a few ex
ceptions, they are not Johnson men.
Probably five-sixths of them don't
want Johnson to bo president and do
want somebody else. (1 have merelv
