today still are arguing the question.
pro and con. They began yesterday
when cables from London told of the
enthusiasm with which the Queens
town residents greeted the ship.
Cable dispatches Ngave the ship:
name as the steamer "Ashburne."
Shipping Board records show a
steamer OF American registry named
Ashburn. One group of board Off
Gals believes it was the Ashburn
which flew the Sim Fein flag. The
spelling might easily have been gar
oled in cable transmission, they con-
tend.
A second group Of officials declare
this supposition to be impossible" "
Records show that the Ashburn left
New York July 10. But the Ashburn
cleared for Copenhagen. they point
out And the Copenhagen route does
not nun close to Queenstown. they
argue
The Ashburn might have been oblig-
ed to put into Queenstown by engine
trouble, the FIRST group replies.
To give point, they recall that the
AshbUrn was reported to have been
delayed by engine trouble OF the
Delaware breakwater. She might
easily have suffered more engine
trouble, they contend.
And as for the belief that Irish
hands built the Ashburn:
Why. everybody knows" they say,
that Irish workers predominate in all
