REPLY IS WITHHELD

Cleveland, April 17.-W. G. Lee. president of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, still refused today to reveal the nature or substance of the reply sent by the brotherhod chiefs yesterday to the ultimatum of New York railway heads giving the organi- zations until tomorrow noon to break the walkout.
