Seeks Removal of Craia

Reports published in Brooklyn yes
terday that Mayor Hylan and 2 n
La Guardia, President of the Board of
Aldermen, had "ordered" Corpore ton
counsel John P. O'B,,en to prepare
charges asking for the removal of
Comptroller Charles L. Craig were
denied by Mr. O'Brien as soon as he
read the reports.
1t was said that the charges were
to be presented to Govern or Miller as
u result of the differences between the
Mayor and Mr.. Craig. The report said
that Mr. Craig's withdrawal from the
Board of Estimate had created situa-
tion in which the Mayor was asking
for the Comptroller's removal.
The statements are false and ridic-
ulous," said Mr.. O'Bricn. 81 have not
been ordered to prepare any such
complaint. have had no conferences
with the Mayor or Mr. Lo GuarGia on
the subject. can state po' itively that
no such move is contemplated"

COTTON FUTURES

Finishing Prices Near Low and
Show Net Decline Of
SO TO 65 Points.

The cotton futures market continued
under pressure yesterday, declining more
than u cent pound late In the day
on persistent seiiina by local interests
ard Liverpool Southern offerings also
accelerated the downturn. From the lists
action at times II was, evident that sew
eral local professionals were feeling out
the market to ascertain its power of
resistance. The main bear factor was
undoubtedly weakness In Liverpoors
market, cables being much worse than
due for the second day in succession.
Private cables about the Manchester
trade were pessimistic and added their
weight to other influences Just now
sentiment is badly mixed on the floor
and among commission house interests.
The unsettled January situation is caus-
ing many operators to remain out OF
the market.
Notices were again heavy, being esti-
mated at 40. which II was believed. We're
stopped quickly. Arrivals here con-
tinued heavy. amounting to S.704 bales.
of which SSH were on consignment,
100 for export and II on forward ship
ment. Local inspected stock is 1894
bales. and certifcated stock amounts to
23.0S2 bales.

Immediately after the call. but 1t was
not long before it weakened. In the
afternoon business was quiet and un-
interesting. Outsiders seemed to have no
interest in the market, and trading was
largely professional evening up at times.
Some fear that the South had not taken
advantage of the recent upturn to
liquidate cotton and relieve its financial
position as II might have was expressed.
The weekly weather report said that
some cotton was picked in the northern
portion OF the belt" Part of the late
selling represented liquidation forced by
