Order Issued BY Secretary
of Labor Wilson to Lord
Mayors Counsel

Promptly

Washington, d. c., Jan. l9.--Counsel
for Donal O'Callaghan, lord mayor of
Cork, who arrived in this country re-
Gently without a passport, was directed
to day by Secretary Wilson to deliver
the lord mayor promptly to the immi-
grafton inspector at Norfolk.
The secretary of labors order was
described by labor department officials
as merely the formal notification to
Judge Lawless, in whose custody
O'Callaghsn was placed by the depart
ment of labor when he was paroled,
on the secretary's decision last week
that 0'Callaghan was seaman" and
as such should re-ship on vessel
bound abroad
1t was understood, however, that in
directing the prompt surrender of the
lord mayor, Secretary Wilson was in
tiuenced by conference Yesterday
with Acting Secretary of State Davis,
whose order of deportation has been
ignored by the labor department. This
conference was held after the regular
meeting of President Wilson's cabinet,
but it was reiterated that the presi-
dent had reaffirmed his decision not to
interfere in the controversy between
the two departments.
Officials of both departments said
the immediate surrender of 0'Callaghan
to the immigration inspector in Nor
folk would compose the differences
which have developed over the method
Of exclusion of O'Callaghan State de-
partmeut officers declared, however,
that as result of this controversy it
was expected that a full understanding
would be reached in future as TO the
authority of the state department in
cases.
