D. D. In the meantime DR.. Haywood
is maintaining silence.
He is staying close to his hotel
room, serenely smiling at interviewers
who ask his plans. His next move
will not be known even by himself
until he receives orders from Atlanta,
where the Imperial Wizard and his
fifteen Genii, together with prominent
Grand Dragons and their Hydras, are
sitting in Imperial Klonvokation. In
this mysterious pow-wow plans for
the capture of New York city are be-
ing considered.
DIR. Haywood has decided not to at
tend the meeting at Calvary Church

vulge he seems not at all apprehensive
of i'll treatment at the hands OF the
congregation.

menace which has scourged the South
and West of this country has at last
reached the city of New York and is en-
deavoring to work havoc and disaster
In our midst. and
.Whereas ar. outlaw organization
which has outraged every shred OF decent
citizenship through one of its hirelings
has openly declared the intention of that
organization, the Ku Klux Klan by name
of capturing this city. and
Whereas the Mayor Of the city OF
New York. his Honor Jonn +. Hylan.
has directed that drastic and stringent
action be taken at once before the klan
makes any great Roadway or any inn
mense inroads upon the minds OF the
citizens of this city. and
Whereas the Mayor has likened this
aggregation to bomb throwers and anar-
chists and has ordered that the police
authorities should be authorized and
specifically instructed TO spare no efforts
10 run Il down TO its very source. its
nest off scavengers and profiteers.
"Be u resolved, That the Board OF

proves the sentiment and action on the
part Of it's chief executive and pledges
itself to the most ardent support OF

Khan Rumors Rife.
While DIR. Haywood is. to use his
own words. resting on his oars" the
American Unity League Is hurrying
scouts to New York to locate head
quarters and join the general uprising
against the Khan. In the meantime
however. klans and rumors OF klans
spring up in unexpected places. Alder
man Peter J. McGuinness, who drove
colonies OF Chinese coolies and herds
Of free roaming cattle out OF Green
point, has discovered plans 20 organize
a khan In that section of the city
Mr.. McGulnness not only withheld
his approval of such a movement In
Greenpoint yesterday. but said that the
only way for the Klan to establish
itself I'm his baliwick would be for Il
politically and physically to beat him
and his friends.
