Quinn Says Hylan's
Plan to Curb Alien
Talk Is Crotesque
Asserts He Would Vote for
1t if 1t Suppressed Ser
tain Newspapers That
Have Preached Sedition

Ridiculing Mayor Hylan's suggestion
that an ordinance be enacted forbid
ding the holding of meetings in q for
eign language, Alderman William F.
Quinn yesterday stated he would glad
~ vote for such a measure if it in
cluded a provision suppressing "cer-
tain newspapers that have preached
more sedltion il this city than all the
individuals Mayor Hylan refers to-"
The statement made public by Alder
man Quinn follows:
Mayor Hylan's letter to the BoaM
Of Aldermen suggesting that an ordi-
nance be passed preventing meetings of
aliens and meetings where a foreign
tongue is spoken. seems rather gro
tesque, coming from him. Is it possi-
BILE that Hearst has deserted the sink
ing Hylan ship and 'Hizzoner' is CROP
ing around, looking for new fields for
his fast-disappearing last hope of sup
pert?
How funny it must appear to those
who remember how 'Hizzoner' covertly
flirted with every foreign-born eleme mt,
particularly those with a pro- German
tendency, when he was seeking to be
elected
But now when he begins probably to
realize that he is to be only 'one-
term Mayor, and fortunate if he even
hangs on that long, as his own party
may find it expedient to 'Sulzerize' him
before he entirely obliterates them
from the political map, he suddenly be-
comes very patriotic and wants to
muZzle his former addent supporters
with an ordinance preventing their
gatherings or the speaking of their ma
tive tongues.
Even one Of his confreres in the
Board Of Estimate, the President of
the Board of Aldermen, Robert L.
Moran, does not seem to understand
the object Of 'Hizzoner's' last break
as from his statement he seems to have
sent out the tip that the Democratic
majority in the board will not take the
message from the Mayor very serious
ly and any ordinance that may be
drawn up will probably die in COM
mittee.
PERSONALLY, would be glad to vote
tor an ordinance of this kind if
thought it necessary, but to test the
sincerity of Mr.. Hylan I would have
provision incorporated in it that
would take care of certain newspapers
that have preached more sedition in
this city than all the individuals Mayor
Hylan refers to and the owner Of which
created Mr.. Hylan"

Violation Of L. S.
Neutrality Law in
Diaz Revolt Denied
Statement Issued in Answer
to Attack From Carranza
Consulate General, Which
Cited Espionage Aet

Unqualified denial was made yester-
day by representatives of General
Feliz Diaz that American neutrality
laws had been violated in connection
with the Diaz revolt in Mexico.
The denial was made in answer to
statement issued from the Consulate
General of the Car1anza government.
This statement, credited to IAN Off
cial of the Mexican government as
serted that General Aurelio Banquet
and his associates had violated pro-
visions of the espionage act. After at
lacking the records and pretentions
OF the Diaz leaders, the statement
added: The activities Of Mr.. Blan-
quet and his associates, [ believe,
constitute an offence which the laws Of
the United States penAlize and should
be taken into account by the proper
authorities, because they mean hos
tilty toward a nation automatically
and otherwise on friendly terms with
the United States"
Pedro del Villar, leader of the Diaz
committee here, said yesterday;
"On my part, please make only fiat
denial of any violation of the laws of
this country, which we are proud to
respect and which we have been IN
structed by General Diaz to respect.
This is not the place wnere we MeXl-
cans should discuss the real impor-
lance or personalities of our leaders
or revolution. The results VIII speak
for themselves"
Dr. Roberto Gayon, secretary to Gen
eral Banquet, said yesterday concern
ing Japanese concessions In Lower
California that Governor Esteban
Cantu of that territory paid only nom
inal allegiance to Carranza and that
any action in the matter of officials in
Mexico City would be of no value un~
less confirmed by Cantu. Cantu, he
said, was former officer of the Fed
eral army who had been sent to Lower
California by General Banquet and
had succeeded in making himself Gov
ernor during the unsettled conditions
of recent years.
That anything but complete accord
existed between Governor Cantu and
Presiden. Carranza was denied by Con-
sui General Salinas.
DR.. Gayon declared that no American
corporations were furnishing financial
backing to the Diaz movement. I'VE
had offers to finance the revolt from
German commercial companies" he
said, but declined them"
