Secretary Of State Davis stated to-
day.
No policy has been arrived at. the
Secretary said. but the order for the
surrender Of Daniel O'Callaghan,
lord mayor Of Cork. to reship for a
foreign soil. has brought up the
question OF what attitude should be
pursued with regard to other aliens
who are here without passports.
CONTEST IS PLANNED.
This statement was brought forth
by questions submitted to Mr., Davis
by The Washington Times on infor-
nation that leaders Of Irish sympa-
thizers In this country had learned
that the State Department was evolv-
ing plan to deport all reprcsenta-
tives OF the Irish Republican Govern
ment who had come 70 this country
without British passpsrta
II also was Learned by The Times
that a vigorous fight in the OCal-
lashan case was being oonsiderod to
prevent any possibility Of fts result
oeing used as president to deport
other Irish leaders here.

consideration. Secretary Davis ad-
Secretary Davis said that tbsrs !.
some question whether tho state De-
partment would have authority to
proceed against aliens who are al
ready in the country but without
passports. and some officials arc IN
cined to believe that such action
would have to be taken by theDepsrt-
ment Of Justice.
Secretary Davis said that IA d..
partment does not contemplats any
action at present but is merely work
consistent with the O'CallaShan c.sa.
O'CALLAGHAN HERE.
OCallaghan, who arrived in wash
ington today. enroute to Norfolk. Va.
to surrender to the U. 8. Immixr,t1on
authorities there. will not be deportod.
according to M. F. Doyle, Of phflsdel-
phia- one Of his counsel, who accom-
panied him to this city last night.
Doyle declared there has been much
Misunderstanding with regard to
OCallaghan's status and the decision
on his case at a recent meeting Of the
Cabinet with President Wilson.
THE trip to Norfolk" he said, will
be made to accomplish a formality in
accordance with the decision by the
cabinet in Mayor O'Callaghan's case.
He was not ordered deported- Tho de-
cision OF the Cabinet was that in
future similar cases Of aliens ar.
irving without passports would be
subject to ruling only by the Secre-
tary of State, but that in Mr.. O,CaIIa-
ghan's case the decision Of the Sec
retary Of Labor to admit him as q
seaman waiting to reship would
stand.
STATUS OF STOwAwAY.
Mayor O'Callaghan's status today
is that of a stowaway on parole by
the Labor Department II will be re-
called that he was paroled by Secre-
tary Wilson on an appeal from the
decision OF a local OFFICIAL at Norfolk
ordering him deported. When he ar
rives In Norfolk he and Judge Law
before the immigration authorities
there and Mr.. o'Callaghan will be
surrendered on parole.
In accordance with the Cabinet de-
cision sustaining Secretary Wilson's
ruling the next procedure would be
to issue q certificate to Mayor OCal-
laghan emitting him to remain here
without molestation until he reships
for ireland. Far from an order of
deportation. this certificate ID in Of.
feet passport to and from this coun-
try. With II he can embark at any
time on any ship without having to
obtain the regular passport demanded
of persons leaving the United States.-
