duced, and in his speech said he was
GLAD to see Mr.. Hays taken out of
the Republican party and put in as
manager of the motion picture in
dustry." Unjust criticism of the in
dustry, he said, was to be welcomed
in that it made friends.
All the money he had made in the
newspaper business, Mr. Hearst said,
he had put into the motion picture in
dustry. Later Mr. Brisbane in his
speech remarked that Mr.. Hearst had
not been able to raise anybody's salary
in the newspaper business since he en-
tered the motion picture business. The
remark was received in the spirit in
which it was made.
Mr.. Emerson said he thought it was
pretty generally agreed that the "mov-
les need something"
"We don't know just what that some
thing is" he continued, "but we hope
it's Will Hays" He concluded by say
ing: "Unless we are able in some way

Manhattan Club Drops
4 Old Board Members
Each Had Served Several 3.
Year Terms; Opposition Due
Only To Desire for Chance

Four of five members of the board of
managers of the Manhattan Club whose
terms had expired and who sought re-
election were defeated last night in
the election held at the club. Each of
the five had held Office for several
three-ycar terms and a strong opposi-
tion party was in the field.
Members of the opposition asserted
that they had no criticism to make of
the candidates for reelection. They
sought to defeat them, they said, be-
cause they believed that the policy of
retaining members of the board of
managers in Office indefinitely was an
objectionable one and should be upset
They upset it. They elected C..
Frederick Buechner Martin w. Little
ton, Lyman A. Spalding and George W.
Middleton to succeed Ashbel P. Fitch,
who has held Office since 1908; Harry
S. Black, who has held office since 1912;
Herbert c. Smythe, who has held Office
since 1914, and Herbert Lounsbury,
who has held Office since 1916.
The only one of the five candidates
for reelection who won was Arthur

Wilson Appointment Criticized
There is good deal of criticism to-
day in the Liberal press of the decision
of Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier
to call Sir Henry Wilson to the mill
tary command of Ulster. "The West
minister Gazette" suggests that it NAV
be impossible for the British troops in
Ulster to cooperate with his schemes.
Michael Collins sent st. Patrick $
day message to the United States in
which he acknowledges the great as
sistanco rendered by the people of
America and expresses the gratitude of
the Irish people for the support that
led to the signing of the treaty which
gives substantial freedom to the coun-
try. "Undcr English domination" he
said, "Ireland wiltcd and the great
population dwindled. Now Ireland Joy
ously takes up the work of rebuilding
the nation" He added that he felt that
the friendship between the two nations
would continue undiminished.
Arthur Griffith, who also sent mes
sage, referred to the friendship be-
tween the two countries since the
American Republic was founded, He
predicted that the coming elections
would show that the Irish people ap-
proved the treaty by an overwhelming
vote.

operation and sympathy of the public,
whose servant the industry is"
In several ways the affair last night,
which had been announced as in honor
of the new head Of the industry, was
extraordinary. Present as speakers
behind das that was banked with
flowers were men Of such political and
other contrasts as Mr.. Hays, former
Postmaster General and before that
chairman Of the Republican National
Committees; Mayor Hylan, William
Randolph Hearst, Albert d. Lasker,

ping Board and leader in the Re-

Davis, Secretary of Labor in the Har-
of the Actors Equity Association; Sid
ney Cohen, president of the Motion
Picture Theater Owners of America; !;
Albert Firman, chief of the money or
der department of the New York Post
Office; Arthur Brisbane, Hearst's chief
editorial writer; Hugh Frayne, general
organizer of the American Federation
of Labor; Adolph Zukor, head Of the
Famous-P Players Lasky Corporation, and
Charming Pollock, dramatist.
Mr.. Emerson occupied seat in the
center of the long dais. On his right
was Mr.. Hays. Mayor Hylan sat on
the left of Mr.. Hearst, who followed
him in the speaking, which was limited
on the program to five minutes speak
er, but frequently ignored.
All the speeches, coming as they did
from varying shades Of political color,
or from men of varying po itical opin-
ions, were, with one exception, tuned
to the occasion, which was one of ap-
parent opportunity for voicng the
unanimity of purpose which the new
organization headed by Mr.. Hays will
endeavor to bring about.

On his arrival Glotzbach was ques-

his marital troubles. He would not 90

SAID on bis first arrival in Monterrey
that he did not like the career that was
opened up to him as the husband of
the diva, that he preferred life of
activity in his own way to a life of
ldleness and ease. He admitted leav-
ing his wife with the intention of not
returning.

He was asked to-day, just before his
return to Monterey with another party
of tourists, regarding his course in
view of the statement of his wife made
IN st. Louis and reported in dispatches
from that place, that she had sued him
for divorce; also that she "threw him
out" of their New York home and had
had differences over woman living in
Carmel, Calf, to whom she said he
had been too attentive.

that her present domestic troubles had

for divorce would have been started
here by the singer without the firms
knowledge.
