Priests Are Held Back,
Even the priests were not allowed to
greet the archbishop until he had passed
the barriers into the station proper.
Here the police had some difficulty in
handling even such small crowd, as
nearly every one insisted on kneeling
before the archbishop and kissing his
hand.
Efforts of those who took Archbishon
Mannix from the station to evade the
public seemed to lend~strength to state
mentS of Irishmen that the Australian
prelate will attempt to go to Ireland
Notwithstanding the governments de-
termination that he shall not. He was
first led to the subway platform, and
then suddenly hurried to an automobile
into which his luggage had been placed.
He was driven to the home of a priest
in the suburbs
Archbishop Mannix declined to say
whether he had any plans for the inn
mediate future, and would not disclose
what he intended to do during his stay
in England.
DUBLIN, August 10.-Many of Dub
Inns streets were ablaze last night with
bonfires in celebration of Archbishop
Mannix's arrival from America. The be-
lief still exists here that the archbishop
will visit Ireland.

which he referred without comment

the restrictions placed on his move
