Acting Commissioner of immigration
Larned today received statements from
Philadelphia bearing on the case OF Hugh

Mrs. Stanton, although not his wife.
The Philadelphia authorities refused TO
admit the couple unless they should
marry. This the young people declined
to do. Commissioner Larned's recon-
mendation is that they be admitted with
out further formality, as there is nothing
to indicate that Stanton and the woman
came under that class of immigrants
which the law excludes.
