It's not what people expect to see in the middle of a majority-black city whose forces conquered the South 125 years ago, but there it is, flapping languidly in the breeze over the doorway of a stately brownstone mansion just eight blocks from the White House, the national flag of the Confederate States of America. "The other side is under the impression that it won the war," says John Edward Hurley of the Confederate Embassy.

"We Southerners take a longer view of things." Hurley is president of the Confederate Memorial Association, which owns the embassy, more properly called the Confederate Memorial Hall. He is a portly man in his 50s whose family roots are in southern Virginia. His progenitors include a cavalry officer who fought for the South in the Civil War. Lately, Hurley has found himself involved in another civil war, this one among fellow Southerners. The outcome will determine who will control this shrine to Southern culture.

The fight is taking place mostly in the Yankee legal system, where a withering cross fire of lawsuits has been exchanged. There have been physical skirmishes as well, including one battle inside the memorial hall in which the shirt of one of Hurley's rivals was torn from his body, the recording secretary reported, and the fracas "nearly led to bloodshed." For his part, Hurley complains that he has been the target both of a vicious legal assault financed by shadowy right-wing political zealots, and of a campaign of dirty tricks and anonymous threats, made by telephone or nailed in the dead of night to the door of the hall, but unlike Lee at Appomattox, Hurley vows to fight on. "I'm a small potato, but I'm hard to peel," Hurley says. "Nobody's pushing me off the sidewalk." He says his opponents want to use the hall as a base for far-right political activities, such as a "Freedom Fighters Night" in honor of Nicaraguan contras.

They've done everything but burn a cross on our front yard." His chief protagonist is Richard Hines, a former U.S. General Services Administration official and a former commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans chapter in Washington. Hines filed suit in 1987 seeking to dismiss Hurley and the association's vice president, Mrs. John Tilden Rogers, whose grandfather fought in the Battle of the Wilderness. Hurley and Mrs.

Rogers responded by suing Hines and six others, claiming they were victims of a legal coup. Hines and his followers countered with a $250,000 suit against Hurley and Mrs. Rogers. Last August, Hurley filed a $5 million suit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, charging Hines and others with perjury, mail fraud and money-laundering, among other misdeeds. Hines and his supporters complain that Hurley doesn't consult them sufficiently about his administration of the hall, and that he has operated the building for personal gain.

Hurley denies those charges. Hines, a former South Carolina state legislator who worked in the 1988 Republican presidential campaign of the Rev. Pat Robertson, could not be MSllflJViE reached for comment. His lawyer, James P. Gittens, declined to be interviewed, saying he did not want to prejudice the legal case.

The story of the Confederate Memorial Hall goes back to 1907, when the 25-room Victorian house was bought by the Confederate Memorial Association, "a group of Southern ladies and gentlemen," for use as a home for aging Confederate veterans. In 1919, with the veterans' popular tion thinning out, the building began its present incarnation as a convention hall, library and museum. During the 1960s and 70s, the build-- i ing and the association fell on hard times. Membership declined, and the hall became a refuge for vagrants. Hurley, whose father was a member, stepped in and helped refurbish the building, partly with his own money.

Hurley has several things to sayto those who can hardly believe their eyes when they see the Confederate flag flying over a building near down- town Washington, whose population is: 70 percent black. As many as 50 of the association's members are black, he estimates. The memorial hall, he says, is a re- minder of Washington's roots. Under a compromise worked r. out to allay Southern fears of Northern domination, the U.S.

capital was placed between two states, Virginia and Maryland, whose economies relied heavily on plantations. laffllUBai laffiaa mXA'JSTCTTJM, I CTJ BESEMD SEAT TICKETS SUT.3AY, MAY 26 1P.M. 6 4:20 P.M.
