He was given an ovation by the Congress.

The Presidium is the Soviet governing body, or Cabinet, and its membership includes such lenders -as Stalin. Rykov, Kalinin and Zinoviev.

Although Trotzky Is not Included among those who are to present to the Congress reports of government activities last year, it is possible that he will participate In the work of some of the numerous commissions which are formulating the program of the congress. It was noticeable that Trotzky received more applause than any official who appeared on the stage.

LArLHN BY HYLAN OF NEW Ignores "Coincidence" in Dates of Messages and Bids for City Work. The office of Miyor Hylan con tinued to maintain a polic of silence today in the face of fresh revela tions by Deputy Controller Charles F. Kerrigan, who made public the results of a partial cherk-up showing that the dates on which messages were sent to the bonding Arm of Sinnott A- Canty from the Mayors office were often identical with the dates of the opening of bids on im portant construction projects of the-city. Mr. Kerrigan commented pointedly on the fact that ro far neither the Mayor nor his secretary and son-in-lv, John F.

Slnnott. had made any explanation of the nature of the messages sent to the bonding firm, which Is headed by J. Paul Sinnott, a brother of John F. Sin-nott. The Deputy Controller de clared that they should at least ex plain why the messags were charged to the city unless they were "official business." Kerrlcan's statement showed tha no less than 1 7 of the messages said to have been sent from the Mayor's office to the bonding firm In ,1924 tallied with the dates of the opening of bids on Jobs running from a few hundred thousand into several million dollars.

The contracts were let by several city departments, with the name of the Board of Education appearing frequently. In his statement Mr. Kerrigan asserts that contractors "have mentioned receiving advance Information through the firm of Sln nott Canty. What Kind or Business? Speaking ot the messages, Mr. Kerrigan said: If they were not official business what kind of business did the office of Mayor Hylan have with the firm of Sinnott Canty? It has already been disclosed that in the case of some of the larger contracts carrying with the mfat premiums on bonds, there was consider able activity by the messenger serv ice employed to carry the papers from the Mayor's office to the Slnnott Canty office," Kerrigan continued.

This activity was particularly marked on the days when bids were being opened for the construction of new public schools, but it also was marked on other days when bids for contracts running Into millions were being received by the heads of other city departments. "In a large number of the papers sent from the office of Mayor Hylan in the City Hall to the office of Sinnott Canty followed by an Interval of a day or so the receipt of bids for contracts with the city. Time Needed for Check Up. "It may be noted, in this connec tion, that many city bid forms are quite complicated and require several hours of comparison and checking before the low bidders on one alternative form of construction or another, can be determined. Where contracts are let for the purchase of supplies, owing to difference in points of delivery and quantities on unit prices, it may also take a comparatively long time for the bids to be worked out and tabulated.

"Whether this caused a lapse ot time in the advices given to the Mayor's office by the heads of his departments and a consequent delcy in transmitting papers and other messages from the Mayor's office to the bonding firm remains to be seen."
