Hearing BEFORE Justice.
When the Star Company's application
for a continuance of the temporary in
junction granted by Justice Blur came
before Justice Giegerich in Part I. Of
the Supreme Court yesterday morning
Assistant Corporation Counsel Nicholson
wanted to have IL understood that no
opera should be given until the case was
disposed of. To this Max D. Steuer, at
torney for the company, would not
agree. He pointed out that there had
been no disturbance inside the theatre
on Monday, the opening night. although
tnere was n rumpuS OUTSIDE. lie SAID
that Justice Blur would have enjoined
interference with Tuesday nights pro-
posed performance except that he was
afraid the notice was too brief for ade-
quate police protection and also wished
the Corporation Counsel to have the
papers overnight.
Martin w. Littieton, by consent of
Justice Giegerich and the lawyers,
spoke in behalf of the American Legion
Mr.. Steuer was wiling to argue at
once the application for a permanent in
junction, but continued to oppose a con-
tinuance of the status quo of Tuesday
evening. when the opera was cancelled
by mutual consent.
Mr.. Nicholson again asked that the
status quo of Tuesday evening be con-
tinued, but Justice Giegerich ruled: II
have no authority to interfere with JUS

rest upon him." He then set the hearing
on the request for n permanent injunc-
ticn for 2 o'clock this afternoon.

A moment later bricks and bottles

20 In plain clothes. Reserves swelled
this number later. There were rumors
OF intended concerted action by men,

George Brokaw Compton, chairman OF
the legion organization In New York
county. to send this message to the
commander OF every post early in the
evening:
"Rumors Just received that posts
have been asked to take part in violent
opposition to German opera are entirely
without foundation and must have been
circulated by enemies. The American
Legion stands for law and order You

that he Is the winner Of the flying time
