Under pressure of the nations in

Sentiment in favor of congressional
action to meet the embargo situation
is growing daily, and it is not un-
likely that favorable consideration
will be given to the Weeks or some
similar measure at an early date.
Congress can set into motion ma

INJUNCTION SERVED
 ON GEORGE LE WITT
Manager Cormican Brings Thea
 ter Trouble to a Head

The disagreement existing between George Levitt of the Lyceum thea ter and James COrmican, manager of the theatrical troupe bearing his name which has been performing at the theater for several weeks, took on a legal aspect last night. For several days those conVersant with conditions have been awaiting the breaking of the storm. It arrived last night when Deputy Sheriff M. D. Stockwell served notice of injunction on MT. Levitt secured yesterday in the court of common pleas by Lawyer NJ. A. Sex ton, acting for Mr Co1mican. Judge Markham issued the injunction which restraints MT. Levitt from interfering With the Cormican Players in the presentation of "It Pays to Adver- tise,' which is scheduled to open for a weeks performance next Monday night.
 Everything was apparently serene at the playhouse a few weeks ago, when suddenly Mir. Cormican ap- peared before the footlights and an nounced that owing to exigcncies, he would be forced to terminate his at fractions on last Saturday night, Aug ust g. It had previously been expect ed that the Cormican Players would continue in business until Septem- Der 1.
 Early this week MT. Cormican again announced a change in his policy. by stating that the Cormican Players would reopen for business on next Monday. On Tuesday MT. Levitt in discussing plans for the season in which repairs and other details were talked over with a reporter. said that statements that the Corm'tan Players would reopen for business next Mon day was not so. He said that the contract between him and COrmican had been broken, with the announce ment of the closing of the season last night.
 MT. Cormican on Tuesday lodged a complaint with the police that his be- longings at the theater had been dam aged, and he sought the aid of the police. He was referred to the assist ant prosecuting attorney at the time. Last night Sergeant Johnson made an investigation and found MT. Cor mcans clothes thrown around on the stage, but the trunk did not show any indication of having been forced open.
 Today the painters and decorators are at work at the theater, and the Corm1can> Players were on hand as usual to complete the rehearsals for the next weeks show, which Cormi- can said would go on and which MT. Levitt has said would not.
 Mir. Cormican was seen this morn ing and to reporter he entered a general denial that he or the com pany was indebted in this city. He claims that all bills have been satis- factorily settled with the lighting and telephone companies.
 MT. Levitt has engaged Lawyer F. B. Hungerford to handle this case.
