u. s. CITIZEN BARRED
AS AN UNDESIRABLE"
Michael g. O'COnnOr, of The
Bronx, Held Up at Liverpool.


London, Oct 26.-Michael J. O'Con-
nor, Of New York, & passenger on the
American Line steamship st. Louis,
which arrived here from New York on
October "a, has been refused permits
sion to land.
The government has explained that
neither Mr. O'Connor's nationality nor
his passport was In question, but that
it regards his admission as undesirable.
The O'Connor case is one of class
which has given officials here consider
able anxiety since the war broke out.
The official policy here is to welcome
every American citizen landing In this
country and 10 extend TO him every
courtesy possible. At the same time 1t
Is perfectly well known to every one
that there have been several cases Of
pro-German sympathizers coming here
under the cloak of American citizen,
ship with the idea of injuring England.
The authorities take the natural view
that they are unable to countenance
either undetermined pro-German efforts
or attempts TO stir up disaifection, and
thus where any doubt exists regarding
an arrival from America the passen-
gers passport Is forfeited for the time
being and he is requested to communi-
cate with Scotland Yard next day. II
he proves on inquiry TO be bona fde
American citizen then his passport Is
returned and the authorities do all pos
sible to assist him. IL Is only when fla
grant cases occur Of attempted hostility
against the British that any action Of
any kind Is taken.
Michael ]. O'Connor, known in The
Bronx as Mike, lives at % East 124th
Street and is the proprietor Of several
saloons on Broadway and on Lenox
Avenue. His wife said last night that
she received cablegram on Sunday
with the news that he had arrived
safely at Liverpool. He has been a
United States citizen for more than
fifteen years. Mrs. O'Connor cannot
imagine on what ground his admis-
sion has been declared undesirable.
She expects to enlist the assistance Of
the State Department at Washington
in behalf Of her husband.

The fact that he was TO be incar-
