Designate Farley, who sailed for Home
at 10. o'clock aboard the Kron Prinzess-
m Ceoeiio to tak- np his new duties in
the college of cardinals. The noted
prelate was accompanied by Cardinal
Designate Falconlo. former . apostolic
aeiegaia to tne unitea states. , Both
were appointed to the college of cardi
nals several weeks ago by .Pope Plus.
At JS O'clock 5000 children gathered
at the, cathedral, dressed In whtta and
carrying American flags and tha papal
colors, yellow and white. Half an hour
later -the two cardinals-designate left
tho archieplscopal residence and passed
along streets lined with representatives
of every church in" the city to the ca
thedral. ' No adults were admitted to
the cathedral, which was' reserved for
the-children. -:. ; . ; ; -?
As tiio cardinals designate entered the
edifice, the Irrtle ones waved their flags
and sang ''Blessed Be the Faith of Our
Fathers," thousands outside Joining In
the hyn. bixty priests and other dig
nitaries -of the New York archdloceso
attended tha archbishops in conducting
the mass. . -.. .
The Two cardinala designate left the
church for the pier accompanied by a
