present wore klan robes.

Outsiders were admitted. If vouched
for by klansmen. Rochester police esti-

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New

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-

the order. The throng was silent and
gave close attention to the speaker.

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
