attempt to get him to join in plan to hold an
Independent and GreenDack meeting on Wednes-

to draw of the crowds who will throng Music
Hall. General Buffers engagements were too

Music Hall that the Anti-Grant managers decided
to issue tho tickets and keep out tho crowd which
would attempt the samo buldOzingD tactics that
