ment Of existing lave by and through
existing legal processes. II Is not our

talk with him will be of matters which
should interest every patriotic citizen
OF America. / have no doubt Mr.. Muir

Seeks TO Appease Mayor
DR.. .Haywood's announced intention
to call on the Mayor followed q pro-
nouneement by the Mayor that Klan-
ism would not be permitted TO flourish
In New York City and an order issued
TO Commissioner Enright by telegraph
from French Lick, Ind, in which the
police chief was enjoined to drive
them out of town"
When Mayor Hylan reached New
York City from the West Sunday night
one of his first questions was "Is that
fellow Haywood gone?" When in
formed that the boss Klokard still
held forth in New York hotel the
Mayor remarked that he would confer
with Commissioner Enright on Hay
woods activities.
Dr. Haywood said he notified Police
Commissioner Enright of his change of
address when he left the Hotel Hermi-
tage, but that no acknowledgment of
his communication had been received
He explained that ali his activities In
New York City had been and would be
of public n~ture. There was nothing
to conceal. he declared. A visit from
Mr. Enright or any OF his subordinates
would afford him pleasure.
With regard to his possible deposit
tion as evangelist Of the Calvary Bap-
list Church in view Of the Rev. DR..
John Roach Straton's reported inten-
tion to move his dismissal In church
