visit Archbishop Corrigan. How he came to
make the visit a mystery then, and the i'm
teresting incidents that occurred during his stay
did not clear up matters any There is no need OF
denying the fact that there were only few per-
sons who not surprised at his coming owing
to the hostile aspect toward himself and his mis-
sion exhibited in the territory looked after by
Archbishop Corrigan. When Monsignor Satolli
| arrived in this city he said that he would have
something to say TO the press before he returned
TO Washington He did not keep his promise, but

people were that they were displeased with
the interview. they could not prove that either Mon

He read it. and then 1t said that it
placed in the hands of Monsignor Satolli Father
Connolly the who brought the answer
TO the reporters. He said that the Apostolic Dele
gate had instructed him TO say that the inter
view inaccurate. and that it absurd TO
suppose that he displeased with DR.. Papi.

Papi started to say something more to the re-
