Numerous members of labor unions

other places the meetings were open.
We advertised them in the newspapers.
PENNSYLVANIA Is highly organized for the

"My first lecture here In New York

Golf sidetracked all politics here to-day.
No professional or amateur 81 ortsnen
ever were more Interested In the game
than were Charles +. Murphy. Mayor
Hylan and the Tammany men who are
with the chief for his vacation. They
were so intent on drives and puts that
they hadn't a moment for conferences
they could not drop the brassies long
enough to discuss patronage. transit and
legislation. They have not spoken a
word of politics all day.
This in spite OF the cold weather.
which made golfng decidedly unpleasant.
Wrapped in their sweaters and wearing
heavy mittens. the politicians trudged
around in the chill wind tenaciously
sticking to their game.
Rather obviously this intense interest
was made to fit the situation. Their
game kept them so busy they had perfect
alibis for not meeting in the hotel. The
thing they all seem to be working hard
est at is to play enough SO that they
win not be caught loafing around the
hotel. The conferences appear to be at
an end.
Mayor Hylan is returning tomorrow.
His rest has effected a cure for his
tired nerves In three days. During those
days he has seen the Tammany Chief
only a few minutes. Since the Mayor
threw the Hearst third term bomb de-
c!ded chill has come.
Mr.. Hylan's sudden interest In golf
has surprised every one. He never cared
for the game until last Wednesday, say
ing It was not for him and that he did
not understand how any of his Commits
sioners had time to play But he was
out nearly all day batting the little
white pill around the links. Most Of the
time he was alone.
Murphy led away with three Of his
Tammany chums and all day was far
out on the links. The paths OF the Mayor
and Tammany boss did not cross dur
ing the day. They met at dinner with
six others at the table and that was all.
The Mayors sea blue shirt has been
the sensation Of the resort. He says he
likes golf only because II gets MN out
doors, and he has not much Idea he will
try to perfect his game after leaving
here.
Mayor Hylan also has taken to dane
ing for the first time in public. Mr.
Murphy has spent the last two evenings
in his room reading or pacing the veran-
das with his friends, while the Mayor
has been dancing.

HYLAN TELLS ENRIGHT
TO GET AFTER HAYWOOD
Mayor Suggests klan Be
Treated as Gangs Are.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HEsALn
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind. Nov. "a
Mayor Hylan followed up his attack
on the Ku Klux Klan to-day by direct
ing Police Commissioner Enright TO LOOK
into the activities of the Rev. oscar
Haywood, reported to have established
headquarters at the Hermitage Hotei
for the purpose OF organizing the klan
in New York. The Mayor sent the fol-
lowing telegram to commissioner bn-
right:
THE New York Times informs me
this morning that person calling him
self the Rev. Oscar Haywood. national
lecturer of the Ku Klux Klan. has
opened temporary headquarters at Hotel
Hermitage, Seventh avenue and Forty
second street, New York city. evidently
for the purpose of organizing the ku
Klux Klan in New York.
This organization engenders the most
bitter religious and racial hatred. and
is a menace to the peace. happiness and
prosperity of our country. 1t has been
reported that the Governor of Louisiana
intimated that several persons had
mysteriously disappeared in his State
as a result of the activities OF this or
ganization.
"Strong arm methods. resulting In
murder and destruction, cannot be re-
sorted to by this or any other organiza-
ton in New York. Apply the same
methods to the activities OF this organ
ization as you do TO the strong arm
gangs, the rendezvous for crooks. the
Reds and bomb throwers. gamblers and
the underworld element"
When he gets back to New York next
week the Mayor will give Ms time and
attention to his fight against the Kan.
He insists that under the conspiracy
provisions of the penal law there Is
ample authority for the police to drive
the Klan out of the city.
All power known TO the police will be
invoked by the Mayor in his determina-
ton not to allow the Klan to get a
foothold in the metropolitan district
It Is expected that the State govern
ment under the new Tammany ed-
ministration will cooperate to the fullest
