Mgr. sato1li Will Not be
Present at the Seton Hall
Commencement.


Mgr. Satolli, the Pope's Delegate, will
not be present tomorrow at the COM
mencement exercises Of Seton Hall Col
lege, South Orange, and it is asserted in
certain circles that the Delegate has
taken this means to show his displeasure
at the Bishops actions in refusing to
meet him at Hoboksn on the occasion OF
his recent visit to the Rev. Patrick Cor
rigan, Pastor of the Church of Our Lady
OF Grace.
When the delegate first signified bis de-
sire to visit Hopoken it was arranged
that he come Saturday afternoon and go
direct to Seton Hall as the guest of
Bishop Wigger. Then Sunday afternoon
he was to 90 to Hoboken and remain the
guest of Father Corrigan for two or three
days. The action Of Father Corrigan
in making these arrangements was con-
sidered very good on his part, consider
ing the trouble he had with his Bishop.
and Catholics felt both had made up.
They were surprised to learn few days
later that the Bishop had written Mgr.
Satnlli, refusing to receive him aJ Seton
Hall and positively refusing to meet him
at banquet in Hoboken. The Delegates
visit to the Monastery and his magnih-
cent reception IN Hoboken are well

The friends of the Bishop then said
that Mgr. Satolli had determined TO
visit Seton Hall as the guest OF Bishop
Wigger on the occasion OF the commence
ment exercises.
MGR. SAToLLI REFUSES.
The delegate will not be present, and
though urged to be by influential pre-
lates and lay people, it is said refused,
giving as his reasons previous engage
ments. 1t is well known that
his trip west Was not proposed till after
he returned from Hoboken ito Washing
ton, and further that being in Trenton
yesterday he could easily have gone to
Seton Hall had he desired. The fact that
he will not be present is taken as an in
dlcation that he was displeased with the
Bishops actions toward the Father.
