PRIMARY ACT IGNORED. Danger Seen in Legislation That Might Bar Candidate of Any Group. By Martin Green. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ALBANY, Jan. 9.Protests against the practical expulsion of the five Socialists, who were elected to the Assembly last fall in regularly con- ducted elections jn the ‘Bronx, Man- hattan and Brooklyn are coming in fram all over the State. Some long distance objections from States out- shde New York have arrived. [It does not appear that there ts, on the part of the bulk of the people, any sympathy for the Socialist mem- bers, decause they are Socialists and are emirvhed wiih questionable asso- clations, The revulsion arises from fhe conviction that the five Socialist Agsemblymen did not et a fair deal. ‘Not one of the dive Assemblymen who were expelled from the Lower House of the Empire State will admit that there is anything like a square deal for a Sociufist in this country. ‘They do not know the habit of mind of | the average American, They do not mix with the sort of people who in the last analysis control this country. ‘They do not know that what they “probably assume is public sympathy for their cause or themselves is really public condemnation of an unsports- manlike act on the part of an over- whelming force. It is unlikely that they ever will know it, or knowing, admit. But the Assemblymen who stood up and cheered on Tuesday when the Socialists were ejected from the chamber are not so sure to- day that they cheered at the right time. The first evidence that the Republi- can machine which staged the expul- sion of the Socialists has arrived a’ the conclusion that a mistake may have been made was furnished by Senator Clayton Ik, Lusk, chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee to Investigate Seditious Acts, Senator Lusk was on the jud before noon yes- terday with a statement commending the action of the Assembly, aTthough he dentes that cither be or his com- mittee had any part in the suspension of the Soctalists, and he admits that his committce did not unearth in the course of its investigations any evi dence which would directly tend to impugn the Americanism of the As- semblymen who Were thrown out of the Legislature and ordered to pro- duce proof of their Americanism be- fore a committee which bas not been (Continued on Twenty-second Page.)

Ever since the De- partment of Justice agents drama-/ tized Weinstein by advertising him as “the Master Mind of the Reds" he has become more and more haughty and dictatorial toward the minions of the capitalistic Government, Asked his age, place of birth, domestic condition and a few other formal questions as a necessary pre- liminary to his being admitted to bail, he scorned the Special Board and said he would answer no questions without the advice of counsel, Com- missioner Uhl said Weinstein would have another chance to put himself on record to-day and if he again refused would be put at the bottom of the Hist of 507 radicals who must have preliminary hearings at the rate of forty or fifty a day befora they can be allowed to leave the Island under bond. Tt was said to-day that Ludwig C, A. K. Martens, Lenine’s “Ambassa- dor,” faces arrest on a Presidential warrant charging him with being an enemy alien, as well as the deporta- tion warrant, Martens was said to be a German subject when he entered this country in 1916.

P. J. Warner, an attorney of New- ark, N.

He asked the lawyer to sell what goods remained in his store and turn the money over to Mrs. Brosliak who lives at No, 1 Treaey Avenue with her four children. Brosliak also sug- gested that his wife and Schneider might well get divorces at once and marry each other. An investigation begun by the law- yer showed, he «aid, that Brosliak had already disposed of most of the stock and had also sold the Treacy Avenue house and there was not enough left to meet the claims against the business. He therefore asked the police, at the instance of Mrs. Brosliak, to bring the pair back to meet criminal charges and sent wireless messages to the captains of all coastwise vessels leaving Hobo- ken and New York immediately after Jan. 1, a& he learned they had not passports permitting them to sail for a foreign port. No reply has been received from these messages. Mrs, Brosjak sald she had been called crazy for several years for suspecting ber husband's fondness for Mrs. Schnelder, who was related to the Brosliaks by marriage. Mr. Schneider said his only interest in the incident was to recover his five- year-old daughter, Miriam, who dis- appeared with Mrs, Schneider; his two older daughters were left with him, —_ AIR REDS BREATHED POISONS OFFICIALS Mysterious Ailment of Chicago Prosecutors Laid to Crowding of Radicals.

Wilson and Bryan are diametrically opposed in this situation, The Prest- dent in his message to the Demo- cratic Party, read at the opening of the Jackson Day banquets in the Wil- jard and Washington Hotela here, vaid: “If there is any doubt as to what the people of the country think on this vita! matter (ratification), the clear and single way out Is to sub- mit it for determination at the next election.” BRYAN AT ODDS WITH WILSON AND COMMITTEE, In the face of this and in the fags of a resolution adopted by the Dem cratic National Committee pledging the party to support the President in the treaty fight, Bryan came out wn- | equivocally against making it a cam- pulyn lasue. With regard to Article 10, to whieh Wilson has referred as the hoart of the League of Nations covenant, Bryan tn his second speech early this “I think the import- ance of Article 10 has been very much magnified.’ Wilson's message failed to clear up the question of whether he will be a third term candidate, but Democratic leaders undersuind he will not be although he may participate in the campaign, swinging bis influence to th#eandidate on the floor of the San Francisco Convention whom he deems best fitted to carry on hie work for the treaty, and campaigning actively tor the election of a Senate which will ratify the document as he wants it ratified—that js without reservations that alter its meaning, BRYAN APPARENTLY IS STAND- ING ALONE. Bryan in his fight for a quick com- promise, apparently stands alone. With the possible exception of former Ambageiador Gerard, the other speakers at both banquets welcomed the idea of making the treaty the big 1920 issue, The reaction from the White House to Bryan's challenge to Wilson's leadership was awaited to- y with keen interest, He declared the treaty Wilson brought back from Paris was “bet- ter than anybody had a right to expect,” lauded the President highly, told of his own efforts for unqualified ratification, and then sald: “I believe that baving stood by the President and baying failed, we should take the best we can get,” This blunt declaration startled the crowd. In one end of the hall a confusion of shouting arose, men yelling: “Stand by the President,” and “Bryan, stand by Wilson.” At 2.30 A. M. Bryan finished, while some yelled: “Go on, tell us some more." Afterward some of the crowd |gathered about him, shaking his hand, while scores flocked out, some being loud in their denunciation of the Ne~ braskan Up to the time that Mr, Bryan, whose presence had not attracted as much attention as he was accus. tomed to in the old days, arose to speak, Attorney General Palmer, for- mer Speaker Clark and Mrs, Peter @ litte black-haired Minne. {erg an as ee es eee
