ORD has no impact on this, it is what the agent does at the origin. The UA default for an overnight is not to check thru. But it is a bit at the agent's discretion, so there is a small risk the bags will be checked thru to the destination -- you can ask not to be checked-thru, but best not to state you are gaming the fare by HCT.
