T OF A SECRET
TO VILSON IS DENIED
Cardinal Gibbons Says Mem
bers of Catholic Church
May Vote as They Choose
New York, Oct. 21. Tiie New York
World yesterday published a state
ment from Cardinal Gibbons in which
that distinguished prelate denies the
existence of any secret propaganda in
opposition to President Wilson's r
election. The attention of the cardinal was di
rected to a dispatch from Indianapolis
appearing In the World on October 16,
In which an observer of political events,
was quoted as having said that "every
priest in the country is secretly
counseling his parishioners to vote for
Hughes." and that "Cardinals Gibbons,
Farley and O'Connell are fulty aware
of the undertaking and are in sympathy
with it."
Cardinal Gibbons' statement to the
World Is as follows:
"I never have heard until this mo
ment that any Roman Catholic propa
ganda existed In Indianapolis or else
where in opposition to the reelection
of President Wilson. 1 do not believe
there Is any truth in it. For myself,
I am not in politics and I have never
authorized any one to quote me aa
favoring either candidate for the pres
idency. "Every Catholic voter has an lnher
ent right to vote according to his own
Individual conscience and 1 m sure
that the Roman Catholic hierarchy of
the United States would never Inter
fere with that right."
lany persons have written to Car
dinal Gibbons since the presidential
campaign opened inquiring regarding a
report of an alleged act of discourtesy
from the president. To these inquiries
the cardinal has replied repeatedly
both orally and by letter that there is
not a word of truth in the story. Yet
letters are being received by the cardi
nal almost daily asking as to the truth
or falsity of these same rumors which
have been given such apparently wide
circulation.

William Hunter, 18-year-old mes
senger boy, who was found guilty of
violating the prohibition law, by a Jury

to divulge the source bf his liquor
supply, court officials ate disinclined
to be harsh with him because he is
thought to have merely been acting aj
an agent for other people. Hunter waa
arrested October 3 by Patrolman Rich

by Patrolman Richards and on his re
turn given the money, then arrested.
Hunter refused to tell where he se
cured the liquor, although offered immunity.
