na-Gael society of New York have sent
circular To n well known member OF the
organization OF this place In which Col
onel Blake Is roundly scored for some of
his statements made In the Pawtucket
meeting recently. The circular opens as
follows

Blake on the Clan-na Gael for it's conduct

and reliable authority on the subject. The
fact is that Colonel Blake is not Irish, is
utterly ignorant OF Irish affairs and his
statements are only repetition OF false
hoods put into his mouth by malignant
mer who shelter themselves behind him.
