Despite the abrupt departure from his office last night of United States District Attorney Charles H. Tuttle of Manhattan for his summer home on Lake George, wlAicsses were today taken before the Orand Jury by Deputy Attorney General A.

and Norman J. Morrison, both of Washington, to testify regarding the alleged sales of liquor In night clubs. This is believed to Indicate that the matter had been taken entirely from the hands of Mr. Tuttle, who was known to disagree with the calling of 12S police officers and night club patrons to give Information about alleged liquor sales. Tuttle Assistant Inactive.

Thomas F. Kerwln, assistant to Mr. Tuttle, had no hand In bringing the witnesses, consisting of policemen, before the Grand Jury. While he sat in his office in Room 525. Federal Building, Mr.

Brindley and Mr. Morrison called two witnesses. This action followed a brief conference in Mr. Kerwln's office. News- naDer renorters followed the two Washington men there and waited for them to emerge from the door by which they entered.

Responsibility for the order to Issue subpenas for New York's social, financial, club and business leaders to appear before the Federal Orand Jury to give evidence night clubs, was still unplaced today But from Washington came reports that a clash between Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of Prohibition matters, and Mr. Tuttle was imminent. There were reports, too, that Mrs. Willebrandt might come to New York to take personal charge of the situation.

Although no one could be found either In Washington or New York to say definitely where the orders for the subpenas originated, It was generally believed they came from Washington. Contradiction of Statements. Mrs. Willebrandt, however, complicated matters last itight when she is reported to have said over the longdistance telephone that Mr. Tuttle Tiprsnnallv knew of the calling of ad ditional witnesses and set the date for the return of the Grand Jury to consider the night club cases himself.

That statement is directly opposed to the statements of Mr. Tuttle, which were to the effect that he did not know of the subpenas until his return from vacation and that he stopped all activity as soon as he heard about them. The nolitical chase of the situation came into the open when Tuttle was asked If he felt that his action might have a political effect in his lavor, "Political reaction." replied the TJnlted States Attornev.
