Evacuation Day Commit. tee in Boston Doesn't

Boston, March 5. -- (Ur) - The pugsiing question here to-day was whether U. 2. Representative Hafn' ilton Fish, R., N. Y. -- who thinks NowbuTgh, N. Y., not Boston, was tho "cradle of American libeTty'-- vii iho Q guest or on orator Rt ovac' uatlon day ceremonies March i7.
 Fish contends he's tho principal speaker.
 Harry A. Bishop of the evacuation day committee says he isn't.
 The whole problem oentors on Q speech EiAh inadO on tho House floor yesterday. Said he, too much significance has been attached tn the shot hoard round tho. world myth of Lexington and Concord,
 My complaint is that most of tho fighting was done In New York and that most of the talking and history writing was done In Massachusetts" said Fish.
 The Slur on Bay State patriotism brought indignant protests from MaAsachusetts historical societies. It caused Mayor Maurice J. Tobin Of Boston to comment that Fish, while ct Harvard, must have paid more attention to football than Afneri- can history.
 At this point bishop, chairman of the committees speakers division came in.
 s,Mr. Fish was not invited by me as a speaker either for the exer- clses in the South Boston High School or at the banquet the night before," he said.
 However, Chief Marshal William B. Gallagher then disclosed he had asked Elni to speak at one part Of the ceremonies and ride in the parade as guest
