CONFERENCE DELAYS
WIRELESS SEIZURE
Bryan, Daniels, and Gregory to
Plan Next Move Against
Marconi Company.

NO action will he taken by the navy
today regarding closing of the Mar
conf wireless station at Siasconsett
pending a conference this afternoon
between Secretary of State BRYAN,
secretary of the Navy Daniels. and At
torney General Gregory. Secretary Dan
iels said today he was still hopeful of
an amicable adjustment in the contro-
troversy with the Marconi Company.
Secretary Daniels ultimatum 10 the
Marconi Company asking an explana.

sage from the British cruiser Suffolk

trality regulations. expires today. But
before taking action the Secretary will
confer with Secretary of State BRYAN.
VINO returned from Virginia today, and
with Attorney General Gregory
Meantime the Marconi Company has
prepared to file suit in the Federal
courts seeking to enjjoin the Govern
ment from closing the station, pending
the hearing on an application for a
temporary restraining order 1t is this
angle of the situation that Secretary
Daniels will take up with Attorney Cen
eral Gregory
Mr.. Daniels is confident that the right
OF the Government to close the Siascon-
sett station, If its continued operation
Is considered a menace to neutrality,
will be fully sustained
But he is unwilling to let a matter of
such immediate importance be thresh-
cd out in the courts. The delay of

, might hold up decision indefinitely. and
| i'll the meantime, II the Marconi Com
pany should be left free to run the plant
| might occur that would involve the
Government in international difficult
ties.
The case of the Government rests
upon the contention that, during the
war. this is a time of public peril.
! when the President. as comma nder-in-
chief of the army and navy. may issue
and enforce such neutrality regulations
as he sees fit. Attorney General Greg
Ory has sustained this position in an
! opinion in which he upheld the right
of the President to censor messages or
close stations whenever he deemed II
necessary for the preservation of the
countrys neutrality
Replying to this, Secretary Daniels
says an agreement was reached be-
tween the United States. Great Britain
and Germany that only wireless com
munication should be censored. The
necessity for this is that direct COM
munication with belligerent warships
can be had by wireless, and messages
! exchanged which would amount to
using the United States as a base for
operations. Manifestly. it is pointed
out, communication by cable from the
American shore with ships at sea is
impossible. and therefore the wireless
and cable cases are not parallel
Moreover, to permit the British ad-
miralty agents in New York to have
free communication by wireless with
cruisers off the American coast, while
the strictest censorship was being
maintained over the German station
at Sayville, would be grossly discrim-
inatory against Germany.
Secretary Daniels made it plain to-
day that the United States will stand
pat on the wireless censorship ques-
tion.
