The Cordova daily times., 1922-05-12

executive who has the confidence of the administration, Felix Cordova-D Da- villa, the Porto Rican resident com missioner, is going ahead with his campaign in the House of Representa- tives to secure a rigid Congressional investigation of Reily's activities since he assumed office.
 Davila declares that there will be no let-up in his attacks upon the Porto Rican governor until Reilly either quits of his own accord or Is compelled to- resign.
 The charges of the Porto Rican commissioner against Reilly extend from "trafficking" in public offices to "entering it's political alliance with men who have boasted of their Bol- shevik ideas and their utilization with the Third Internationale in Moscow"
 Reily's troubles in Porto Rico start ed simultaneously with his arrival in San Juan. One of his difficulties was that he was not familiar with the 
 Spanish language, which led to some serious complications. After a series of disturbances, some of them of lit tie importance, he sailed back to the United States to talk it over with President Harding and Secretary of War Weeks.
 SHIP CAUGHT FIRE During the trip from San Juan to the Pacific Coast the ship caught fire, and the charge was made subsequent ly that the blaze was started by po- litical enemies of the Governor. Reilly remained in Washington for time, and as no formal charges were filed against him at the War Depart ment he returned to Porto Rico with the administration official approval of his activities in the island. Shortly after he reached San Juan, however, other troubles arose, this time because the Porto Rican Senate refused to confirm nominations made by Reilly for executive offices of the territorial government.
 At the same time this tempest was | brewing in San Juan Commissioner Davila got busy in Washington.
 Resolutions now are pending in the House proposing an investigation of Reily's administration of Porto Ri can affairs and seeking his removal from office.
 When Davila launches one of his attacks on the Governor he starts back in 1909, when Reilly was assistant postmaster at Kansas City and as serts that "an investigation by Con- gress will convince any unbiased man that Reilly is totally unfit to serve as Governor of 1,3OO,OOO people"
