It was believed here that the Cook county plan was independent of the efforts ot the federal govj ernment to have Instill arrested i and deported for extradition. The i Cook county move, it was believI ed. was designed to induce the government to regard Insull as -a I source of trouble and to refuse to extend permission for him to remain in the country. Insult's wife and son were expected here from Paris as soon as Mrs. Insull's health enabled her to make the trip. It was understood that Samuel Insull, Jr.,
