On behalf of the film super-chief. the statsment was made that beyond his brief and sympathetic statement relative to Reld's condition, Mr, Hays had no comment to make-en the case. It was denied as absolutely false- that Mr.. Hays had said that he-would crush the "dope evil here, as ho would a snake If it threatened to menace NOT ABBITER OF MOBAIS . This denial was occasioned especially by the statement credited to Mr., Hays that to so crush the "dope- peddlers would be considered by him as a duty springing from his jurisdiction as head of the countnrB film interests.
