tic Enforcement Wil1Lead
TO Repeal in Six Months

Mayor Hylan declared yesterday foy
thoroughgoing enforcement of the pro-
hibition law by the city police as
soon as the Legislature and Governor
Miller put through an enforcement
measure similar to the Volstead act
To reporter who saw him at the
City Hall the Mayor said:
In answer to your question, in case
Governor Miller's recommendation for
an enforcement Of the prohibition law
is carried through by the Legislature
and the peace officers Of this city are
required under that law to enforce it's
provisions, l am free to say without
reservation that the law will be en-
forced.
"That is what we are here for--to
enforce any and all laws Of the state
and city. Assuredly dry enforcement
law will be enforced, il the Legislature
passes one"
The liquor men and politicians yes
terday interpreted Governor Miller's
recommendation for doing away with
the Excise Department and the enact
ment of dry enforcement law in
conformity with the Volstead act as a.
clearly defined plan on the part of
the Governor and the upstate Repub-
licans to put Mayor Hylan's admins
tration on the defensive.
Would Remove Lax Officials
Governor Miller is on record as say
ing that if the law enforcement officials
fail to perform their official duties they
should be removed by the Governor, or
other constituted authority. Mayor
Hylan's clean-cut declaration yesterday
indicated that the Police Departm cnt
of the City of New York soon would be
made responsible for the enforcement
of the dry law, as the Republican man
ayers were planning an early repeal of
the PTS per cent beer bill advocated
last year by Governor Smith, and an
enforcement act in exact conformity
with the Volstead act.
George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, after a
last night that the Legislature would
pass a dry enforcement act at an early
date, and that it would make the local
authorities in this city responsible for
its enforcement.
Volstead Law Change Seen
F. II. La Guardia, President Of the
Board of Aldermen, who was present
when the Mayor said that the city OF
New York would see to it that any new
enforcement law was enforced, pre-
dicted en- efficient enforcement by the
police.
81 not only believe that the police
will make it their business to enforce
the law, but believe that such en-
forcement will lead within six months
to amending the Volstead act" said he
~ want to see the Volstead act en-.

Congressman from the Southern prohi
bition states come to New York to have
good time they will be obliged to &C
back home with their parched tongues
hanging out. There is nothing that
will bring about the repeal or change
of an unpopular law like rigid en-.
forcement of it. l believe that Mayor
Hylan will see to it that the police
will rigidly enforce the law as soon as
