my on liehalf of all the delegates to the Executive Committee from the Thirty-fourth and Thirty-nftli Assembly dlstriots, as well as on behalf of myself, that when your committee sees fit to purge Itself of the demoralizing presence of its alien deputy leader we may perhaps then give suitable consideration to such an invitation: lint until then we have no con­cern whatever with the meetings of your committee or with anything it may choose to do. Of-course, we have been fully apprised of the chief objt-ct of your gathering this afternoon and have consequently taken the necessary steps to nullify the intended ef­fect <upon unsuspecting persons) of any incorrect an­nouncement that yon may make.
