NEW VOIIK , Dec. 10. It was reported ) es-
terday that the Hev. Dr. McGlenn had been
deposed from his priestly ollico In consequence
quence of Ids political activity in connection
with tlie Henry George campaign. Tills is
not exactly true. Dr. McGlenn has not been
silenced as yet , but ho has been summoned to
Homo to explain certain political utterances
and acts of his that have not met the an-
iiroval of his immediate superiors ,
i'lda assertion rests upon thn author
ity ot Archbishop Coalman. Tlie
fact that Dr. McGlonn ha" bemi
called to Homo does not neccs'irllv Imply
that ho will bo silenced or even censuicd , It
Is said ho may bo able to give such an ex
planation as will satisfy the pope entirely
and receive no rebuke at all , but this U not
thought probable. Priests are now and then
silenced for some Irregularity of conduct ,
but it Is seldom that one Is called to Home to
answer for holding doctrines th xt are not ap
proved bv theciiurch. For this teason it Is
thought the doctor will not rctmn without
censuio of some kind. 1 he pope has already
declared the principles of the Knlirhts of
Labot In harmony with the teachings of tlio
Catholic church , Dr. McGlenn Is looked
upon as one of the knights warmest defend
ers and supporters. J
