When The Mayor Pleads fos. DELAY

There is nothing left now to arbi-
trate. The strike has been called for

That was the answer of P. J. Con-
molly, acting president of the Brother
hood of marlborough Employees, when
Mayor Hylan asked him yesterday
afternoon at q conference in City Hail.
If some heroic means could not be
resorted to to avert the tie-up of the
city's subway and 81" systems.
Connolly said there was a strong
likelihood that the strike would be
extended to the surface lines.

the Board OF Estimate meeting room,
where he had gone with other mem

E,ferborough TO Make Ef-

Frank Hedley, ce-president of the
1nterborough Rapid Transit Company,
said at the company's offices last night
that there was little hope for subway
and 81" service in Manhattan on Sun
day.
owe have done everything possible
to run the lines as fully as we can"
Mr.. Hedley said. "If 50 per cent of
the employees quit you can imagine the
result. With motormen, switchmen
and intcrlocking forces all out, there
will be little chance Of giving the pub
lie service.
"We have offers of all our employees
not in the brotherhood to render all
the service they can. These include
some engineers and mechanics, and we
will make an endeavor to keep the
power houses in operation. The power
house men belong to the brotherhood
and we must wait until 4 o'clock to see
what will happen.
81 am fearful that the people Of
New York do not appreciate just what
is confronting them with these trans
portation lines out of service 1t is
almost Impossible to conceive what is
going to happen"
The green car lines, which will carry
the bulk of the riding public in case
of subway strike, depend on the Inter
borough power houses for current, Mr.
Hedley said. Every effort will be made
to keep the power-houses running, he
said.
Corporation Counsel Burr said the
Mayor was ready to use force to run
subway and al" trains, if that seemed
advisable.
"The Mayor has given his word that
the cars will be run if it takes the
entire police force of New York and
the military and naval forces Of the
State of New York to do it," he said,
"and they will be run. There isn't
any doubt Of it,"

Last British
Envoy Expelled
by Carranza
Charge Ordered From Mex
leo; Resentment Because
Recognition Has Not Been
Given Is Supposed Cause

WASHINGTON, Aug. William
Cummings, British charge d'archives
in the city of Mexico and the last re-
naming British diplomatic representa-
tive in the Mexican capital. has been
ordered by President Carranza to leave
the country. The action is interpreted
here as amounting practically to de-
portation.
In his annual message to Congress s
September l, President Carranza will
inform that body fully as to the state
of relations with the governments of
the United States and England" ac-
cording to an official Mexican dispatch
received here to-day by way of Ell
Paso. The dispatch adds that General
Fortunate Zuazua, commanding the
Federal forces in the state Of Tamauli.
pas, where there are many oil wells, is
sending "well trained troops" to all
parts of that state where foreirners
live with view amply to protect
them"
Although in a strict sense Cummings
had no diplomatic standing, as Great
Britain nad never recognized the Car
rama regime, he had delivered COM
municasions from his government com
planning Of mistreatment of Britt h
subjects and interests.
The action Of the Mexican President
is understood to be the result of the
statement made recently in the House
Of Commons by an under secretary OF
state Tor Foreign Affairs that Great
Britain would not recognize the Car
rama regime until there was some
guarantee that the Mexican govern.
ment was able and willing to protec,
the lives and properties of British
citizens in Mexico.
Charge Lindsay. of the British En-
bassy, brought the matter to the at
tention Of Secretary Lansing TO-DAY
1t is understood that there is nothine
to be done except acquiesce in the de.
cree Of expulsion, as Mr.. Cummings
has no official status in the diplomatic
sense and consequently cannot claim
exemption. 1t is believed in officia
quarters, however, that the incident i:
certain to have a marked effect on the
policy which the British government
will follow toward Mexico.

by butchers, some of whom believe
that supplies are being withheld.
Frank A. Horne, chief of the stor-
age warehouse division of the United
States Food Administration, declared
that the compelling of merchants to
disgorgc their supplies at present
would result in higher prices and a
food scarcity in the winter months.
The local fair price committees
fight on high prices was extended to
cover drygoods, clothing and shoes.
The State Department of Farms
and markets, through the local d.
rector, told of the abuses which
could be eradicated by the compul-
sorry licensing of all storage ware
houses.
Deputy Market Commissioner O'Mal-
ley said that when the sale of
food begins more than $50 schools
will become sales depots at once. He
refused to set date for the beginning
