volunteers to plead Mrs. Panllhurst s
case, they said. They were informed
that the island was officially closed

has no warrant in law for excluding
her because Of them.
Women Stirred up.
Mrs. Pankhurst's coming has stirred
up woman suffrage circles here as few
movement have done. Ms O. H. p
Belmont, who, It has been understood
was ready to supply 100000 bond
for the English militant should one be
allowed, did not appear actively in
the case today. Among other suffrage
leaders the note Of sympathy, while
sometimes sounded, was frequently
lacking.
Mrs, Mary G. Hay, president of the
Woman's Suffrage party in this city,
said the organization was not inter
ested in Mrs. Pankhurst's visit.
"We are in no sense militants, and
not in sympathy with Mrs. Pankhurst s
ideas she said. "She, moreover
came to this country entirely on her
own initiative and without any invi.
tation from the woman IS suffrage party
in America, We deplore the action OF
the United States government repre-.
sentatives, however, because it gives
Mrs. Pankhurst lot Of undue noto
rriety and advertising, without benefit

least
