His Presence Attracts Big Crowd to tho
synagogue In Attorney Street.
Many persons were turned away from the
First Gallcian Synagogue in Attorney street.
near Delaney. yesterday. All Attorney street
was aroused, and the crowd that surged in
through the iron gates OF the synagogue en-
trance was packed SO tightly that it was i'm
possible to stop any until the utmost capacity
OF the synagogue had been exhausted. and the
outsiders could only have gotten in any how
by tanning those inside beyond reasonable
endurance. The "shnmmus or ianitor. who
Is a man above the ordinary stature. and who
looks like giant among the undersized resi-
dents OF the nelghborhood. managed to keep
order without calling for assistance. but he
was kept exceedingly busy.
The cause OF this extraordinary eagerness to
get into tho synagogue was the understanding
which had been generally accepted that the
now cantor Baruch Schor. would make his
first official appearance. Mr.. Schor as was eX-
planned in The Sun last week. arrived in this
country on the steamship Vera, together with
Strauss's orchestra. and was received with
great eclat by the officers and trustees OF the
synagogue and Coroner Levy Somebody had
started the story that he would not be allowed
to land because Of the Contract Labor law. but
tho Coroner straightened that out all right
with the aid q Assistant Superintendent
O'Beirno OF the Barge Office. Since then Mr.
Schor has been recovering from tho fatigue Of
