Mayor Stoy
 Liable to Arrest
INTEREST IN REFORM MOVE
 MENT INTENSIFIED.
SUNDAYS AT ATLANTIC CITY
The Mayor Refuses to Receive Notice from Attorney General Ordering r..m to Close Saloons on That Day.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug '23.-Inter- est in the reform movement in this city was intensified today when Mayor F. P. Stoy officially refused to receive a notice from Attorney General Wilson ordering him to close Atlantic City saloons on Sunday. The notice was served upon him in his office by David Johnson, member of the reformers' organization.
 Refused to Accept Service.
 The mayor declared that he knew the contents of the notice which gives the names and addresses of thirty eight saloon and hotel proprietors who are alleged to have sold liquor on three Sundays of the present month, and he refused to accept service even after the ture of the attorney general had been read to him.
 The Penalty.
 Under the state law the refusal to act within ten days on an order issued by the attorney general makes a city official liable to indictment for a mis- demeanor. The heads of the reform movement declared tonight that they will cause the arrest of the mayor if he refuses to acknowledge the notice issued by the attorney general. Re- form lawyers claim that the open re- fusal of the mayor to receive a docu- ment signed by the attorney general also lays him open to charges of con- tempt of state courts. Mayor Stoy re- fused to discuss the matter tonight.
 Attorney General Wilson's action follows an appeal made to him in Trenton by the reformers who have secured his cooperation in the attempt to close the saloons here on Sunday.
