A large, angry delegation of prominent men 'and women from Jamaica demanded of Mayor Hylan to-day that he grant them tho sai i measurtf IMC homo rulo ho is clamoring for l.t newspaper articles and addresses at Albany.

The grievance- of tho visitors, who swarmed Into City Hall wearing red badges and determined looks, Is that tho Board of Education, cvdry members of which has been appointed by Mayor Hylan, arbitrarily has picked a slto for a Jamaica High (School without consulting tho peoplo or taking Into consideration the question of accessibility or desirability of location. "Wo feci that our homo rulo rights under a home rule Mayor have been trampled upon," declared representative of the All-Civic Association. "Tho people of Jamaica who are opposed to this site appear to havo a very just grievance," said Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly, who demanded of tho Mayor at tho school slto matter be referred 9 tho local School Board. "I have made a canvass of iho parents," said Joseph Kaiser, who had been repeatedly interrupted by tho Mayor earlier In tho hearing, "and they are overwhelmingly opposed to tho sito selected by tho Board of Education.

Seventy-live per cent, of tho Jamaica Estates i-lement represented here have no school children." Ir. Kaiser referred to whlto-tlged delegation that favored the Board of Education site. A barrage of hisses, catcalls and groans greeted this birth conttr.l Innuendo. A number of motherly looking whlte-badged ladles rose, shook threatening fingers at Mr. Kaiser and then sat down.

But Kaiser refused to lc scared. He said something to tho effect that thero were only eighteen homes on Jamaica Estates, tho neighbor hood where those who favor the Board of Education slto hall from. Wtiri nnmo frnm thorn nrfi 1 thirty-odd two-family houses and wo expect to send many children from there to the hign scnooi, even moro In tho future than at present." i Cheers greeted thl3 hopeful predic tion.

The suit grows out of tho production of the play "A Kool There Was." After Mr. Hllllnrd hod failed to meet with success In this show it was rewritten by Mr.

Cohan, who starred In tho production himself and achieved success. Mr. llillard claims that when he turned the leading role nnd show over to Mr. Cohan tho theatrical manager agreed to rewrite for hlm.another play called "Honest John O'Brien," in which Mr. Cohan had failed, but which Mr.
