Conductor's wand (5)
I believe the answer is:
baton
'conductor's wand' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for baton that I've seen before include "A stick for a conductor and policeman" , "Short rod (that can be passed!)" , "Conductor wields it - or a policeman" , "Club, stick" , "Controller of players" .)
