Hylan and Graf q
Fight Charter
Revision Plans
Mayor Refuses Oath as
Commission Memb err.
Saying 1t Would Jeopar-
die His Official Job
Packed, Says Comptroller
Governor Miller Presides
as Work Is Organized;
Scott Is Chosen Chairman

Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig
declared their open hostility to the
Charter Revision Commission yester-
day when that body held it's first meet
ing at the Hotel Plaza. Together with
Borough President Riegelmann Of
Brooklyn the Mayor refused to take
oath Of Office in the commission.
Comptroller Craig accused Governor
Miller Of having packed the commits
sion which is made up largely of
Democrats--and intimated that the
Mayor would veto the charter prepared
by the commission, and suggested that
minority report, presumably signed
by himself and the Mayor, would be
submitted to the Legislature.
Mayor Hylan, who sat silent while
this announcement was made, declined
to qualify as member of the commits
sion, saying that to do SO would auto
maticaliy mean his removal from the
office of Mayor.
Fears Groundless, Says Miller
Governor Miller, who called the COM
mission together, said that he did not
regard the Mayors fears as serious,
but suggested that the Mayor, if he
persisted in his opinion, could CO.
operate with the commission without
commission.
Former Supreme Court Justice
Francis M. Scott, who was formally
elected chairman Of the commission.
said that it seemed to him that the
Mayor, by virtue of his office, could
sit as a member without taking any
formal oath,
"Of course" said the Governor, "the
Mayor, am sure, thoroughly appreci-
ates that there was no deeply laid plot
in this thing"
."Oh, no." said the Mayor.
But this acquiescence of the Mayor
did not please the Comptroller, who
exclaimed:
"That plot was laid when the bill
was passed and the companion resolu-
tion for the Meyer Investigating Com
mittce was adopted That is when the
plot, was laid, and it has since been
Matched and the crop is out"
Metz Allays Craig's Alarm
Herman A. Metz, another Democratic
member of the committee, and a for
mer Comptroller of the city, took ex-
ception to Craig's observations and
pointed out that he had sat on the
Ivins Charter Revision Commission
when he was Comptroller, and that
while Mayor Mcclellan was member
ex-officio, he did not sit, but desig-
mated the President of the Board Of
Aldermen to sit in his stead, and that
neither Of them lost his office.
Governor Miller explained that the
act creating the commission contained
provision declaring that the accept
ance Of position on the commission
shall not affect title to the office.
Nevertheless, Mayor Hylan, who

Sim Fein Delegates, AZ

Valera, Return to London
to Meet Lloyd George
Dali Cabinet in Session
Rejection of All Ireland
Plan by Ulster May Lead
to a General Election

LONDON, Dec. 8 (By The Associated
Press).-After two conferences in Dub
lin to-day with Eamon de Valera, the
Sim Fein delegates in the Irish con-
ference are returning to London to-
night. 1t had been intended, according
to statements at the Sim Fein publicity
department here, that only Arthur Grif-
fifth. Sim Fein Foreign Minister, would
return tonight, and that the others
would follow in day or two
1t was expected the reply of the Dali
Eireann Cabinet to the latest British,
proposals would be flatly Eyes" or "no,.
and that in either event Prime Minister
Lloyd George, upon Mr.. Griffith's re-
turn, would decide the governments
future action. But the news that all
the delegates were on their wav here
was taken to indicate there would be
1urther discussion Of details. giving
rise to hope that final breach in the
negotiations might be averted.
Dali Cabinets Last Word
Mr. Lloyd George, although in the
country, is within easy reach of Lon

delegates tomorrow, if necessary. gov
ernment officials said tonight
1t is understood the Sim Fein dele
gates were bringing the Dali Cabinets
las4 word, and if the Premier should be
able to meet any additional points thew
might raise he would submit the new
plan to Premier Sir James Craig of
Ulster by Tuesday. In the event of
rejection of the proposal by Sir James.
it was indicated that the next move
might be the resignation of thelCabinet
members as a prelude to general
election.
If an agreement should not be
reached between Sim Fein and the
government, the new plan, it is under
stood, will not be submitted to the
Ulster Premier, and there was no def
mite clew as. to what might be Mr..
Lloyd Georges next move. In some
quarters belief was expressed that the
military would be given command Of
the Irish situation Immediately. In
other circles, however, it was supposed
the government would publish all the
correspondence on the Irish situation
and ask the electors later for man.
