| =. j. Ahearn, agent of the Depart
mept of Justice, picked up Giuseppi d.
Filippis on the streets of Bayonn'
yesterday afternoon and took him t.
Bayonne police headquarters as sus
pect in the Wall street bomb explosion
last September. According to state
ments made by Bayonne police off
cials and by officials Of the Department
Of Justice, Ahearn took De Filippil
| into custody because he resembled &
composite drawing which the Depart
ment of Justice has prepared from the
various descriptions of the man who
drove the bomb wagon into the finan
cial district and left it standing neal
the Sub-Treasury.
| De Filippis is being held in strict Sc
clusion in the Bayonne Police Head
quarters. not even his attorney. Joseph
Scala. being allowed 10 see him. i,
was learned. however. that the prisoner
was picked out OF a line OF about a
dozen men at headquarters by a young
man and a young woman who were
taken to the building by detectives
They went into the room separately
and looked at the line OF men, all OF
whom were dressed differently and witt,
their hats and coats mixed. The man
picked out De F'ilippis without hesitation
and said:
This Is the man.
Neither the officials OF the Depart
| ment Of Justice nor the New York Police
Department. which was notified of the
matter and sent Sergeant James j. Ge-
gan and Detectives Kirk and Kenny oil
the Bomb Squad to Bayonne. would dis
cuss the detention Of De Filippis las,
night. They admitted that he had been
taken into custody by Agent Ahearn. who
was also prominent in the recent inves-
tigation at Scranton. but they would say
! nothing further. except that no charge
had yet been made against the man.
Sergeant Gegan returned to Police
Headquarters last night after inter-
viewing De Filippis In Bayonne. and re-
ported to Capt. Arthur Carey OF the
Homicide Bureau. Capt. Carey said he
could not say anything about the deten-
ton OF DE Filippis until further investl-
cation. So far as could De learned last
night the authorities have nothing fur
ther against DE Fiippis than the fact
that he resembles the composite draw
ing. although 1t Is not believed the man
would be held on that circumstance
alone.
officials OF the Bayonne Police De-
partment said that De Filippis was born
in Italy. but had been in the United
States for several years He went to
Bayonne recently from Staten Island.
where he had lived for a few months.
He is married. has three children and
lives at 539 Boulevard. Bayonne.

Secretary of State Hughes to-day for

Polish Ambassador at Washington, of
this fact In response to a request
from Poland that this country exert
its Influence in behalf Of the Polish
contentious.
The refusal is based upon the ira

not to become involved In matters OF

United States Ambassador George
Harvey at London has been In
structed by cable not to express an
opinion regarding the Upper Silesian
dispute in his capacity as American

Council. Similar instructions have
been cabled to the American repre-

Here is the text Of Secretary
Hughes's note to the Polish Ambas-
sador:
"I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of May ii. in
which you recite the reasons why. IN

ton Is matter Of European concern
in which, IN accord with the tradi-
tional policy of the United States, this
