Ali sorts of schemes, from Offering a
SIC 900 prize to threatening the Public
Service Commissioners with the loss of
their jobs, were proposed yesterday at
meeting OF the Forty-second Street
Committee, composed of business men
cooperating with the Fifth Avenue
Busipcss Mems Association, in an ef-
fort to improve transportation condi-
tions on the subway. There had been
great reduction in trade, the confer
rees said since the Forty-second Street
shuttle was put into commission. The
meeting was at the Hotel Manhattan.
Henry Sulka, shirt manufacturer of
5l2 Fifth Avenue, suggested offering a
prize. The committee might offer s5,-
600 or $4,000, he said, for the plan that
promised the best solution OF the sub.
way problem. Edward Shaughnessy,
who said he came from GO Wall Street

Naon Calls Charges
by Irigoyen False
Former Ambassador Denies
Favored Neutrality After
u. S. Entered War

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Dr Rom
ulo s. Naon, former Ambassador of Ar
gentina, issued a statement to-day de-
nouncing as false assertions of Presi-
dent Irigoyen in the decree accepting
his resignation. He said that during
his recent visit to Buenos Ayres, hold
ing that it was morally and politically
wrong for Argentina to remain out
of the war, he consented to return to
the United States only because the
President asked him to withhold his
resignation for reasons of patriotism
because of the international condi-
tons.
Denying specifically as utterly false
President Irigoyen's assertion that he
proposed capitalizing exemptions and
benefits afforded the Allies by Argen-
tina to obtain reciprocal advantages,
DR.. Naon said it was equally untrue
that he had proposed any neutral ac-
tion since the United States entered
the war
