UNFIT FOR HIS POST
Acts Of "Misconduct' Cited to
Show Why Recall Should Be
Issued.

senator-elect Phelan's report Of his
investigation OF James NJ Sullivan.
American minister to Santo Domingo,
now retired. made public through the
that sullivans resignation be asked. and
II not redered, that he be recalled.
Much of Sullivan's administration,
seid Phelan. was kindly end generous.
However. he added. It was hardly to
be expected that the minister's train
ing. education. or experience would
have fitted him to fill acceptably the
Santo Domingo post. which. owing to
Observation-Disclosures relations, he de-
clared was particularly delicate one.
Sullivan did not possess the qualities
that might fairly have been required of
q candidate for his post" and that Sui
xa Having arPe 9
IN santo Domingo: with the intention
and hope Of securing pecuniary profit
through the incumbency In office OF
minister who was friendly and under
Senator, Phelan says that there was
nothing In the evidence to show that
Sullivan received any money for ia
vors IN santo Domingo but that there
Is evidence that a proposal was made
to New York contractor TO pay
money to a representative Of the inter
ests that nave supported Mr.. sullivan.
In order that the contractor might Sc
mingo."
There was no evidence, the report
states. that Sullivan knew any such
payment was under consideration.
Specific instances of Sullivan's mis-
corduct, named in the report, concern
Sullivan s relations with the BanCo
National: his attitude of hostility to-
ward other banks. his unauthorized
tionists. his participation in Domi-
nican politics. and his unauthorized
! statements to members Of the Domi-
nical chamber of deputies concerning
the proposed loan Of 100000 in 1914.
as well as his attitude toward the
payment of his debts.
Other acts cited were Sullivan's OBJ
tanning of pecuniary favors at the Banco
Nacional. his demand for advanced sal
ary, and his geenral conduct.
Senator Phelan declares the depend
!, ence of the Dominican government on
the United States for large measure
of control over Dominican finances
OF the Dominican republic to demand
/ Sullivan's recall.
