TYNAN'S MYSTERIOUS SECLUSION.
SOME OF TIE IRISH LEADERS APPARENTLY IGNORANT
OF HIS MOVEMENTS
Five weeks ago it was stated much more freely by
the Irish leaders in New-York that lyman was liy-
ing in BROOKLYN, than il is to-day. 1t was sta'cu
then to TRIBUNE reporter that lyman had
been already several weeks in Brooklyn ana
was at that time staying with Dr. WlllaDs
On making inquiry for DR.. Williams he was not 10
be found but few days later 1t was learned tnat
lyman had suddenly left the doctors house anu
was living in the suburbs of Williamsburg Az tnc
Philadelphia convention two or three OF the delc-
gates confessed that lyman was attending
and was seated in the gallery as spectator
The Editor of The North Americdn. of Phladelphla'
tired in vain 10 get an interview with him AT thaC
time through Major Costello, who was introduced
to HIM as being i'll Tynans confidence, out tue at
tempt proved unavailing. Some OF the koSsa deic-
gates claimed that Lyman had been present at some
of their secret meetings in Shears Hail. but tnose
who might be supposed to be better acquaihVou
with the facts secuted the idea.
Immediately after the convention John ParheH,
brother of the Irish leader, came to New-York ana
was especially invited over to a house in Bedford
ave. for the sake of meeting lyman, but TO the
disappointment of the guess and his inter-
tainer ryner failed to keep his engagement
and Parnc left the city without seeing
that mysterious person couple Of days laters Dr.
Williams was met at the steps of Ihe ir'sh nora
Office by a TRIBUNE reporter and his appearance
corresponded so closely to the description gwen OF
lyman that the reporter Immediately asked the
doctor if he was lyman. "No. sir" said tho doc
for. Il am not lyman but can
tell you where the gentleman -.
He left Ncw-York Yesterday by wayof Philadelphia
for San Francisco" On beng aShed 10 'puc' I i"I
the statement, Dr. Williams ran down the s,eps
CRYING q, he ran: :" If You had seen the WoIid as
much as have you would never ask gentleman
to vouch for anything few days laler 'inl JVnn
told the reporter that DR.. Williams
had been greatly amused W. with hos rtng the
encounter and was delighted eI wIlh HasmS
that his statement had been made rs a Joke.
Subsequently Patrick Ford stated that Inc mad
ncrsonollv never met lyman and Sheridan on beng
asked if hc had stated that he had not either, and
believed for himself that lyman was myth.
Roger A. Pryor denied two weeks ago that
ever met HIM, or. that he knew wheIe
he was Rcubcl. +. Carroll alone stated ms kho"l-
edge of Tyuaus movements Yesterday Ia'Ick
Ford John Dewey. aud Others who were present al
the demonstration held last nlght III Cooper lnsti-
tue laughed when asked for some addlt oual Inior-
nation to that gwen by DE-. Villains n the morning
pnp.rs Ask Dr. Williams they all said. and the
impression conveyed was that lynan was 80 snieIy
hidden and Dr.. Williams was 80 c1paDl" ot keeping
the secret which is universally attributed 10 hui,
that they can afford To laugh AZ tho attempts mace
To obtaln AN interview with lyman. They seemed
10 be infinitely amused at the idea oi bchg ""I' /"
DENY all knowledge themselves, whll" claiming
second hand knowledge through the doctor. As
for Dr. Williams himself he was not at last night
meeting and eycryo ne denied ali w.edgc ol
whore he was.
WHAT DIR. WILLIAMS SAYS ABOUT TYNAi.
A TmRrNE reporter met DR.. Hamilton Hhams
last evening as lie jumped of car IN iront Of his
home at No. 4O3 AlanLattau-aye. He was somewhat
dlsincncd 10 talk at first. beng indignant at the
published statements accredited to him yesterday
and at the implication that he had hccu associ-
ated in any way with sheridan, Rosa. Walsh.
Patrick Ford and lyman ia the Discussion
of any TcvOlutiOnury schemes. luo TACT 49,
said Dr. Williams, that Ford. sheridan, Walsh
and Rosa never saw lyman Iu thcir lives, iof
would they know him II they should meet him.
You can rest assured that no accurate Information
can be secured from those sources lyman went
out of town yesterday, for few day. To attend TO
some business" a. TO IynanS residence, Dr.
William, SAID that he was boarding IN the suburbs
of Brooklyu. He cyaded the question of the re-
porter As to the name he was known by where he
lived but implied that 1t was not lyman. He said
that only two or three persons rca ~ knew him by
th|t name and that he md been introduced 10
chance acquaintanccs invariably under an assumed
name lie said that he had known yuan for
number If years. but II had al"avs been
a mystery to him how lyman came 10 be mixed up

The reason of his scCuslon was 10 avoid the annoy
auce of new Spaper reporters and the fear that hc

any one to discover his place of residence or HIS
identity Not all the detectives III America could
ACCOMPLISH that feat, he sald. " ynan is not
