DRAFT EVADERS PLOT
TO CREATE SOVIET IN MEXICO;
CALL FOR NEGRO RISING IN u. S.

ted pretty free reign under Carranza,
begin to assume too definite form
The writer said Carranza was not a
Socialist, but there was good reason to
believe moderate policy of State social
ism would have been put into practice "f
he had not been constantly menaced by
the Damocles sword Of intervention"
1.-THE attitude Of Secretary of the Treas
ury Luis Cabrera also has been very un-
satisfactory TO Wall street." the article
continued. After defending Cabrera's at
titude in the Jenkins case, the article
adds
Cabrera was asked by newspaper man
II he did not think Bolshevist agitators
should be sent out of Mexico. He replied,
No. and added that Bolshevism was an
ideal economic system, although It could
not be introduced In Mexico at present"
Praise for Official.
After praise for the liberal attitude of
Secretary of State Berlanga, the article
continues
"The average Mexican is potentially a
Bolshevist. About the only ones who
balk are the sc.ons OF the Diaz regime.
who are still nursing their wrath because
their old time concessions were taken
away from them. In saloons and public
places it is interesting to note the signs
of approval when news of Bolshevist vic
tories in Russia are read. There is no
mistaking where are the synpathies ol
these long suffering, slowly unfolding
people. Conscious of the growing prole-
tariat sentiment in Mexico, knowing that
capitalism is doomed in the Southern Re-
public, the beast of the North is prepar-
ing to send thousands of American boys
and men into another furious festival OF
killing and carnage.
''The reason for intervention in Mexico
is fear of Bolshevism. The result Of in
tervention, If it is attempted, will be revo-
lution in the United States"

PERsH|NG BOOM Y
FOR PRESIDENT
ARRIVES IN CITY
Three Woods Brothers from
Lincoln, Neb., Will Open
Headquarters for Movement.

Bringing eastward the boom for tho
nomination of General John j. Pershing as
the Republican candidate for President,
Mark w. Woods. George ]. Woods and
Frank H. Woods, brothers and wealthy
business men of Lincoln, Neb.s arrivea
here yesterday and conferred with New
York Republicans preparatory to opening
headquarters for General Pershing in New
York city.
Mark w. Woods is chairman of tho
National Pershing for President Club and,
with his brothers, has been most active in
promoting the Pershing movement. IT was
said that Pershing headquarters will be
opened here within thirty days.
General Pershing is not a candidate FOR
President, but will accept if nominated"
said George ]. Woods at tho Hotel Biit-
more. Asked il no was certain that that
was the case, Mr. Woods said that he
was.
THE strength OF the sentiment for Cen
eraI Pershing throughout the country is
surprising" Mr. Woods continued I'VE
have already organized more than fifteen
hundred Pershing for President clubs all
over the United States. Politicians so far
ment, as they have generally refrained
from committing themselves to any can
didate. We expect to be able TO show
such an overwhelming sentiment for Gem
eral Pershing that they will fall in line
Mr.. Woods said that he and his broth
ers, with others associated with them n
the Pershing movement had covered prac-
tically every State and had found every
where a strong sentiment for the head OF
the American EXpeditionary Forces. They
had just come from Washington. he said
where they had seen a number OF Senators
and Representatives in Congress and had
obtained promises of important political
support.
Mr.. Woods said that they had encoun-
tered some hostility to General pershinc
among the enlisted men who served over
seas and among the officers whom Gen
eral Pershing had caused to be sent back
as undesirable or incompetent and their
friends. He said the hostility of the en-
listed men was never based upon any
thing tangible and was fast disappearing
After the men have been back several
months" he said, "they forget the dis
comforts they experienced in service and
remember only the big things, that they
participated in victorious war under an
able and competent commander Mos.
of the hostility to General Pershing was
due to minor orders, sometimes Irritating
in their nature, 10 which General Perish
ings name was signed. but which ne
probably never saw. The men now realize
this and, il they don't. there rs no diff
ficulty. The officers now realize that
General Pershing showed no partiality
in his selection and was actuated merely
by desire to build up victorious army"
a very pretty fight for delegates be-
tween the friends of General PershinE
and those Of General Wood is indicated
in Nebraska Mr. Woods said that, sup
porters Of Governor Frank o. Lowden, OF
Illinois, had abandoned the idea of con-
testing Nebraska since the movement for
General Pershing began. He said that
there was 10 doubt in his mind that there
would be solid delegation for General
Pershing from Nebraska

MESSRS. HUGHES AND SEABURY
CONSIDERED AS COUNSEL FOR
FIVE SOCIALIST ASSEMBLYMEN

1858 Boston road, at night Three OF the
SUSPENDED Assemblyu,en spoke. Charles
Solomon. Of the Brownsville district in
Brooklyn; Samuel Orr, Of the Bronx, and
Louis Waldman, OF the Eighth District, in
Manhattan. All declared that the action
of the Assembly had advanced considera-
tion by the public Of Socialistic doctrines
twenty years, and that they as members OF
the party lad been brought from obscurity
TO national and international prominence
over night.
I'VE want to turn America over to
Americans just as the Bolshevists In Rus
sia turned Russia over to Russians" Mr.
Solomon said. I'VE are the best Amer
leans. and are the lineal descendants Of
the revoluHonists of IT6.''
Mr.. Solomon deplored violence. but said
that every legal means must be used TO
gain justice and political freedom IF
violence is brought about it will be be-
cause OF the action of the ruling classes.
and We will be able to indict those reSpon-
sible as anarchists" he said.
Resolutions denouncing the Assembiy's
action were passed in the afternoon at
a general meeting Of the party. These
resolutions set forth that even in parlia-
ments under the late Tsar and the one
time Kaiser regularly elected Socialists
were permitted to take their seats, and
said that suspension disfranchiSed the
WOrk1Yny masses OIL Tic SCdte. Inc IcSOIu-
tions were sent to the Assembly and to
Governor Smith.
Algernon Lee, formerly Alderman, In an
address on 'Overthrowing the Govern
ment''last night at Forward Hall. No. 175
East Broadway, under the auspices of
the Socialist party, declared "the En-
rights. the Burlesons and the Gregorys''
would accomplish that undesirable result
and that for the last three months an
organized attempt to overthrow the Con-
stitution had been carried by government
officials backed by the wealthy classes.
He said the action OF the Assembly In
suspending the five members elected from
New York city on the Socialist ticket. was
an outrage and that it remained for the
United States Of all nations to brand
a man a criminal because Of his ex-
pressions Of political belief.
Most Of the talk Of overthrowing the
government, he said, was manufactured
by the government officials as part of
their propaganda and that no considerable
portion Of the people desired to overthrow
the government.

These forces in opposition 10 thea ad-

least a part OF the railroad brotherhood
who have committed themselves to the
Plumb plan, and, which, following the
passage OF the Adamshon act and the ad-

We're the administration's chief support
The attitude of the Federation OF Labor
will be in considerable doubt, although the
firm position taken by Samuel Gompers
president of the federation, against the
use OF the injunction in the coal strike
indicates clearly that the Attorney Cen-
erals candidacy is likely to meet with
little support from that quarter, while the
same attitude might be expected in the
case of the PRESIDENT, since Mr.. Palmer
assumed to act for the executive.
Fight for Delegates Now On.
That the quiet conveyance of informa-
tioD concerning this general political pro-
gramme had it's effect in bringing about
acceptance OF the Attorney General IS
method of settling the coal strike by the
mine leaders is part of the information
that has come TO Washington.
With information concerning this pro-
jected lineup before them the word has
gone out to the various States from the
leaders in Washington that the utmost
care will have to be exercised in the selec-
ton of delegates, and the process of win
ming delegations is already on.
Interest in this programme centres to
a large degree in the Northwestern States,
where a working arrangement with the
league is expected-a stu
alton, il is anticipated, that will work to
Mr.. Bryan's advantage in his home
State of Nebraska, where the league is
understood to have made considerable
although not to the extent that
it has in the two Dakotas, in Montana
and in Minnesota.
Whether Mr.. Wilson shall continue his
programme OF silence on the third term
proposition or shall break it, IL is not
expected there will be any change in the
that is now being followed
in the selection of delegates to the San
Francisco Convention by the leaders who
controlled the meeting of the National
Committee. These men are administra-
ton supporters first and last. Whether
delegations are chosen in the name of
Mr.. Palmer or any other candidate, since
they will be selected by administration
forces, their first allegiance will be TO the
President
The situation remains embarrassing
for candidates who do not appear to have
the administration countenance, since it
makes any definite action on their part
difficult or impossible, and they must
nurse their booms more or less secretly.

FUG|TVES FROM
RED RAIDS ISSUE
USUAL MANIFESTO
Mr.. Caminetti Investigates
Congestion in Detention
Pens at Ellis Island.

Members of the Communist Party who
escaped the nationwide raids by Chief
William j. Flynn. of the Department oi
Justice, are secretly reorganizing to carry
out their announced programme Of ever
throwing the government by force and
violence, IL was discovered yesterday
yesterday when the Police Bomb Squad
obtained copies of new circulars and PAM
phlets being turned out by an under
ground press.
The sheets, as usual, call for an indus
trial revolution and the seizing of the rail-
roads, mines and manufacturing plants by
the workers. This seizure, the Commu-
nists explained, will be the initial step in
a bloody uprising that will result in their
taking over of the government.
The circulars attempt to glorify the po-
sition Of the Russian worlkmen, and hold
these starving creatures up as models for
the American toiler. Workers here are
urged to paralyze industry by a general
strike and then join the revolutionary or
ganization in its campaign of assassina-
tion and sabotage. Capitalists kindly will
be allowed to survive the contemplated
reign Of terror Of the Communists if they
will promise to work. any of the Com
munists who are waiting deportation on
Ellis Island said they are willing to go
back to Russia or anywhere else except
Ito work.
Anthony Caminetti, Commissioner Cen
eral of Immigration. was at Ellis Island
investigating the congestion. Incoming
immigrants already had strained the ma
chinery of the island, when the Depart
ment OF Justice started sending more
than five hundred Reds there for de-
portaton- Parts Of the station used by
the army In the war have been returned

difficulty is anticipated in handling the

of the country.
