MCKINLEY CLEARED.
The A. P. A. Will Not Discrimi
nate Against Him.
REPORT MADE TODAY.
Unreliable Witnesses to Blame For
the Action of the Advisory
Board.

WAsHINGroN, May 16.-Todsy's ses-
sion OF the American Protective 'Asso-
ciation of the Supreme Council was
the most interesting Of the convention
because the action OF the executive
committee of the advisory board upon
the action OF the committee wes made
to the council late in the session. L
was technioHlly an endorsement of the
executive committee. Ii asserted 10
substance that the executive committee
was warranted, in view of the evidences
presented, of placing a ban upon Nc
Klnley, but in addition it states that
furtber exam;n alton of their testimony
by the full board has convinced the
members that the witnesses were uD'
reliable aud their statements incorrect.
Therefore the board concludes that Nc
Klnley should be placsd on the same
footing so far as the mem bsrs of the A.
P. A. -are concerned, with other candi
dates for Presidential nominations and
not be discrimineted against. Appended
30 the report was a statement 10 writing
by delegate Huddleson, of Cslifor-
nis, who asserts that the committee of
which he was chairman, interviewed
Mckinley at Canton, o, on the 14th and
the interview was satisfactory.
