GIBBONS SORRY ABOUT SUNDAY CAMPAIGN STORY BALTIMORE, Dec §L.—Cardinal Gib- tonight expressed sorrow that the “purport of his conversation with the Rev. Dr. George C.

Asked If he objected to the prayers of the Catholic clergy bemg sought for the success of the Sunday campalgn, the cardinal replied that he had no objec- tion. It was the inference drawn from Dr. Peck's public statement that per- mission had been given to send letters to Catholic clergy, to which the cardinal sald he objected. The Catholic church, he sald, could not in any way recognize Mr. Sunday as a divinely commissioned teacher of revelation. i Onmpbell a Oa te, | Watson, .
