In an interview yesterday at the
rectory of the Church of st. Benedict
the Moor, 264 West Fifty third Street,
the Rev. Albert Vaughan: the Arch

upon the playing o1 "1ne Star

The plans for the Archbishop's re-

will speak. On the Tuesday following
there will be banquet for Archbishop
Mannix at Hotel Astor under the aus

fer the freedom of the city upon the
Archbishop at noon Monday. While
here the Archbishop will be the guest
OF Archbishop Hayes, at ASP Madison
Avenue. Tho New York police band
will play at the mass meeting in Madi-
son Square Garden.
Propagandists Accused
British propagandists" were de-
celarcd by the Rev. Mr. Vaughan to
have been responsible for the story
that the Archbishop, through failing to
stand when band at Honolulu played
the American national anthem, insult
ed the United States flag. Mrs Vaughan
SAID he was at the Archbishop's side
when the incident occurred
AS the American line ship Ventura
was leaving the wharf at Honolulu ~
said Father Vaughan, "the band at the
conclusion of its program struck up
gathered about the Archbishop and be-
gan to sing God Save the King Arch
bishop Mannix resented this affront.
The band then went into "The Star
Spangled Banner" without so much as
a stop between the two songs.
while the band was playing the
American anthem a passenger rushed
up and asked the Archbishop if he did
not know it was the American national
anthem the band was playing. The
Archbishop, confused, said he did not
know it. The band was not within
sight of the Archbishop at the time.
Rose on Previous Occasion
"In the saloon of the Ventura sew
eral days before the ships orchestra
struck up THE Star -Spangled Banner
at the conclusion of a program of Irish
and American songs. The Archbishop
asked what it was the orchestra was
playing and when informed Immediate
ly deferred to it,"
Archbishop Mannix is now at Lake
Champlan. He will arrive here at 6:3O
p. m. Saturday on the Albany day boat
and will be met at the Forty second
Street pier by a committee of priests
and be taken to Archbishop Hayes's
home. After a week here Archbishop
Mannix and his secretary will sail for
Ireland.
Dr.. Mannix stoutly opposed con-
scription in Australia during the war.
He was assailed by Premier Hughes
for alleged l. w. W. sympathies.
