NO MOVE FOR WARRANTS YET Reports circulated at the city hall yesterday to the effect, that Attorney General Carl Sherman was to begin prosecution of membe--s of the Ku Klux Klan in the Buffalo district proved to be unfounded. While-Attorney Generel 'Sherman could not reached at his office Jrt Albany, one of his subordinates denied that the attorney general had made plans to institute a Klan enquiry in Buffalo. The Albany official stated yesterday that Mr. Sherman could not conduct a Klan prosecution. unless ordered to do so by Govgrpor Smith.

It ras ascertained that the Governor had not issued such order. The official went on to explain that the Governor issues such an order only when the county prosecutor has been delinquent or is too busily engaged in other prosecution work. In view of the fact that District Attorney Moore announced that he would secure warrants for the arrest of Buffalo Klansmen, there will be no need of going "over his head," It was stated. -Associates ot Attorney General Sherman in his Buffalo office also joined in denying that the state legal executive would conduct a prosecution of the Klan here.
