ROCHESTER. N II. June 1 — This

meeting, attended by fully 10,000 per-

in the town of Farmlngton, about four
miles from Rochester. Dozens of klans
men did picket duty, and all members
present wore klan robes.

Outsiders were admitted. If vouched
for by klansmen. Rochester police esti-
mate that 2S0 automobiles bearing
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New
York and Massachusetts registration
plates passed over the roads leading to
the meeting place.

On the south side of the farm was a
platform over which the American flag
floated, and for more than two hours
three speakers from national headquar-
ters, Atlanta spoke on the principles of
the order. The throng was silent and
gave close attention to the speaker.

King Kleagle E.W. Gaynor of Indiana,
new leader in this section, presided over
the meeting but the names of the
speakers from national headquarters
were not annouced.
Music for the Farmlngton meeting
was furnished by Witham Klavern
Band of 35 pieces, from Portland.

Later in the evening several thousand
new members were naturalized at State
headquarters here, and a buffet lunch
was served. At the edge of the farm
where the afternoon meeting was held,
the fiery -cross burned, and a blazing
electric cross blazed from the roof of
headquarters.

The entire proceedings of the day
were carried out with gravity and per-
fect order.
