RALEIGH. N. CT August 7.--Governor
Glenn has found 1T necessary to de-
cline the invitation OF the Brooklyn
Club TO deliver an address
at Brighton Beach Hotel August 26t'i
on states Rights and the conflict be-
tween the State and the Federal courts
IN the famous North Carolina struggle
BY which the railroads were COMPEL ed
to put on the 2l-A-cent passenger rate
IN spite Of restraining orders against
the State officials by the Federal cour,
Judge Pritchard. The Gov
crnor issues this statement In reBart
to the matter:
Some time ago the Brooklyn
Democratic Club. through It's pres
idcnt. invited the Governor to make
:, speech at 81 banquet to be given
by that club August Goth. The
Governor then wrote them that If
possible he would accept the inVl-
tntion. On August I'd Mr.. East
mond, president of the club, again
wrote to the Governor. urging
that he would accept, stating in
the letter that 100 letters from
parties all over the country had
been received asking for seats, as
they desired to be present when
he discussed the North Carolina
rate difficulty. In his letter the
president used this language: me
dinner is especially given TO you.
and you are the only one we have
asked to speak. You are the guest
OF honor. and we would not place
any limit on the time your speech
should occupy
..'rhe Governor appreciated very
much the honor conferred upon
him by this club. and has tried in
avery way to make II convenient TO
attend the banquet but owing TO
the fact that next week ne mas
to be away from the State during
North Carolina week at the James
town Exposition, and the further
fact that there are very important
matters connected with the adjust
mcnt OF the freight Determinations
now pending between the State and
thc railroads. he finds ii utterly
impossible to prepare speech SUIT :
able for such al occasion. and
therefore he has telegraphed the
Brooklyn club that he regretted
very much to do so. but was com
PEELED on account of important
State matters, TO decline the IN
vitation.
"The Governor regrets this, as
