TROTTER NOT TO APPEAR
Manhattan Casino Meeting Monday
Evening Cancelled, It Is Said,
for Good Reasons.

William Monroe Trotter, editor of
the Boston Guardian and spokesman
for a committee representing the Col-
ored Citizens’ Equal Rights’ League,
who is said to have uttered some
sharp and pointed words to President
Wilson about segregation, will not
speak at Manhattan Casino Monday
evening, as previously advertised. R.
T. Givens, an estimable citizen of the
Greater City, who was promoting the
affair, has issued a statement cancel-
ing all arrangements, and it is said, as-
wrong in making the move, which he
emphasizes, was made with no ulterior
motive. Mr. Givens seems to be un-
der the impression that the idea had
been misunderstood by many of the
erities of the Boston man, and that
it was an attempt to commercialize
the White House incident. This also
is cited by many as one of the "good
and sufficient reasons" hinted at in
the advertisement which cancels the
meeting, and appearing in another
column of this paper. Still, by a few
also it is thought that, despite the
criticism that followed the announce-
ment that Mr. Trotter would come
here and tell what he did say to Mr.
Wilson, there would be many who
would be found at Manhattan Casino
Monday evening to hear and decide for
themselves whether the words uttered
by the fighting editor were really of
a character to raise the President's
ire and cause as they have a nation-
wide comment. These folks further
point to the fact that all movement,
especially one of this nature, has its
followers, regardless of what others
think of it.
