DiSPLEASED BY PUBLICITY
State Department Indisposed to Take
Radical Action From Fear of Estab-
fishing Bad Precedent-Will Probably
Review Proceedings Only.

Secretary Hay was not at all pleased
Yesterday when he read in the papers
the reports Of Marion Erwin, the United
States Attorney General. who has been
investigating the GTeene-Gaynor extra
dition case in Canada, which was given
TO the press Wednesday night by the
Department of Justice.
The report had been communicated
to the Secretary of State with the re-
quest that the department should bring
to the attention of the British foreign
office Mr.. Erwins statement of the' re-
markable fact that some of the highest
officials OF Quebec province and of the
Dominion government belonged to a
firm of lawyers which had been retained
as counsel by Greene and Gaynor. thus
precluding Mr.. Erwin from comforting
with the law officers OF the Grown in his
efforts to secure the extradition of these
men.

In view of the fact that the subject
was submitted to become a matter of
diplomatic negotiation, Secretary Hay
fears that Attorney General Knoxs com
ment that he had not supposed such a
state of affairs could exist in any coun-
try dominated by British sentiments and
laws" may prejudice his presentation OF
the facts to the British government.
MIR. Herbert. the new British ambas-
sador not having yet arrived in this
country, Secretary Hay, if he acts. will
probably lay Mr.. Erwin's report before
