be brought to San Francisco to tes-

Who's This Bird, Einstein?
Saws the CITY Of Culture

Boston, Mass, April 30-Prot.
Albert Einstein, whose theory OF
relativity has upset the scientific,
world. will not get the freedom of
the city if he comes to Boston on
visit .
No one in the city council objects,
as was the case in New York City.
where one member of the board of
estimate said he didn't know him.
But the mayors Office announced
that as no one had been given the
freedom Of the city during the Peters
administration, that record is likely
to hold good until the mayer passes
out early next year.
The city will be glad to banquet
and entertain him. as it did General
Pershmg, King Albert of Belgium
and General Nivelle of France. But
as for giving him the freedom OF the
city. it simply isI.'t being done.

Moorhead Denies
Charge Ascribed
ToJohn Hopkins
Says Statement Preposterous
That Intimidation of United
Seven Voters By Chal.
lcnging is Planned.

Characterizing as prcposterous the
statement attributed to John Hop,
c:ihs, candidate for city commissions
.r, that from 50 to 40 united seven
Voters in each precinct might be in
ihidatcd by challenging, Election
Commissioner Harley G.. Moorhead
issued a reply Saturday to the al
'cscd insinuation Mr.. Moorhcad's
ltatement follows
Mr.. Hopkins IS quoted in the
morning Word-Herald as stating i'll
/ meeting last night that large
part OF the police department will be
detailed to the election commission
er's Office. 1t is planned to intimi-
>late the voters by challenging, in the
cope of preventing from so to 40
known united seven voters in each
precinct from casting their ballots.
Go to the polls and don't let any
'hard-t-iled' delegate from Ringers S
Office intimidate you into relinquish
ing your right as citizen.
II cannot refrain from answering
this insinuation that the election
commissioner Office is challenging
some particular class of voters i'll
each precinct, and is using the police
department for purposes of intimida-
ton. Mr.. Hopkins is lawyer and
knows that the same method of
checking registration and challeng-
ing voters is in Use today as has been
for the last eight years; that the in
spector in each district must check
the registration and must mark
challenged those whom he finds not
to be qualified voters; that the chal~
longing is done by the inspectors and
they are sworn to perform their du-
ties according to law. 1t is lmpossi-.
bic for them to know which candi-
dates a voter intends TO support.
"A considerable number of the in
spectors are ex-service men and also,
American Legion men, and | do not.
propose 10 have this slander placed
against them or any of the inspec
tors, impunging their honesty and in
tegrity in conducting honest cleo

large number OF challenges are be-

death and other reasons; but it is
preposterous for Mr.. Hopkins to say
from so to 40 united seven voters are
being challenged for the purpose of
