Pledged to the upport of tha Third Internationale, the Socialist party of Amerlpa Is a disloyal orKanlzation , composed of perpetual traitors, and the greatest menaco to the KoDublld' that has existed K1I1CO tho rcbolllon ot 1801. That was the conclusion made to-day by Martin Conboy, counsel 'for ,the Judiciary Com .ittn n'tiAn lift summed uu the Case for the State against the flvo Socialist .Assemblymen.

Io demanded that the Assembly purge itr nt tlift sedition which the suspended ,semblymcu seek, to spread through that (D0(iy. Reviewing In detail the evidence brought out during tho seven weeks of tlio trial, Mr. Conboy insisted that tho loyalty of the suspended Boclallsta to their disloyal party and Its disloyal and tin-American doctrines hadheen estab lished beyond docbt. The!. "Hp ser Mec" to this State la nothing more than n mere matter of form, ho said of tho i.ve on trial. t Ucd IMan to Itnfo tVUole V. S. Tho danger of revolution Is more real than tho nation realizes, Mr. Conboy harged, saying that the Socialist party Kelts to sot up- Its rute here by tho fol lowing "unlawful methods": Obstruction of the Federal and Statov governments In all measures relating to defence, thereby render Ins the nation defenceless against tho attack of enemies from, without and within. Destruction of government by mass action and lnslsthffc .n all Its teach ings that political action must be backed by force. By making Its members and those elected to office responsible only to Its dues paying members, thereby re? lleving Its agents of obligation to es tablished government. There Is In process of organization the Third Internationale. Mr. Conboy stated. In outlining tho achievements of the two international Socialistic movements held in recent years. Tho purpose toward which all SoclaJIsts the, world over ore aiming Is to make the third the Anal governing body. "We are confronted with the necessity of determining 1 w wtt shall' treat this group of persons who are In the United States, but not of It; who, while nccept in? tbo benefits of our laws and constitu tions and the sacrifices of blood and treasure plven to support, them, refuse their support to them ; who take all they ran get but will nof give a life or a dollar to preserve, defend and perpetuate the Government that Is their sole and only guaranty of, llfe.llbcrty. property mid the pursuit of happiness,'' Mr. Con boy uald.t ' ' A J First Biff AVuijnlnff 8nee '01. "It Is the first. tlm.e since the rebellion of 1861 that notice has been plainly and explicitly served upon the Government of the United States Sy a group of men re siding within Its borders that they will not support or defend It, but that they will by all means obstruct and resist Its effort to maintain In time of stress Its national honor and existence "The Socialist party of America, Is not a loyal organization disgraced oc vslonally by tho traitorous act of a member, but a disloyal party composed of perpetual traitors. "The Socialist party of America Is neither a party nor American. It is an organization created tot tho purpose of accomplishing In the United States, by any available means, determined only by national conditions" and exigencies, a fecial revolution and the establishment of a socialist commonwealth as part of the International revolution of which the resent Soviet Government of Russia Is a part "It la In violent opposition to the Idea of national patriotism, upon which rests. In tho last analysis, our national eslst cr.ee. Aa against these purpoees the Socialist party of America adheres to the theory that the cltlzens.of the United States, asSwell as those of every other country In the world, are concerned with r.o other consideration than a continuing litter struggle between imaginary classes of society, the one seeking to keep the ether In perpetual bondage. Keynote of Disloyalty. "During tho war the party said: 'As f.gilnst the false doctrine, of national patriotism we uphold the Ideal of ln t.rnatlonal working class solidarity There is struck the true keynote of the Philosophy of the Socialist party" of America, "Members ot this party are not occa sional but perpetual traitors. In con :ant conflict not merely with the pur pose ot any terpporary administration of the affairs of this Government, but T.ith the very institutions and funda mental laws. TJielr submission to the taws of this country- Is a matter of e.x Vsilency or the result ot the coercion of the penal law.

This weapon la -industrial or ganization, to be used "loiUe up the arteries ot the nation's Industries with a seneral strike." milqnlt'a Threat Taken Vp. Mr. Conboy took up what he termed tte "veiled" threat," made yesterday by Morris Hlllquit, counsel for e Social ists, who warned of the danger' or a ceneral strike It fair representation iould bo denied to Boclallst Assembly men. Mr. Csr.boy said . , . "Under the veil of A simile,, a, threat as employed that-If you genlleraeji con cluded that these five Socialist Assembiy "n should not sit In this chamjr H mttnbim of itiU Assembly,-.'a strike might Be called. In i t no ho!e history devoted' to tho- develop ment of this idea there has bees.no more frank exposition of .the docbie tha that. It is the proof.

Kor.thls reason Debs, originally an ar dent trade unionist, abandoned and re pudiated his former associates after Join ing tho Socialist, party." ' Taking the case ot tho Assemblymen In turn, Ml Conboy contended that each was fullv'ln accord with tha "dangerous doctrine" ot his party. That was nil It was' necessary to show to Justify tho As pembly In unseating (he Socialists, Mr. Conboy hold. Of Samuol.Orr and Samr uel A.

Mr. Palmer declared there need be no compulsory arbitration or restriction of the right to strike if provision were made for the publlo to bo Informed of uispuies "Public opinion la the only monarch in this country," Mr. Talmcr said, "and In formed public opinion will always secure Justice to both sides In Industrial con troversies. All tho Government' sought to do In tho coal strike was to Insist that both sides bo heard beforo an Impartial tribunal without the country being made to suffor. "By slow but deolslvo processes the arrogance of capital In this country has been broken, but now wo sec In man" lines labor .grown so strong, so power ful that It sometimes threatens to be como arrogant, and during tho last year capital has had to plead upon (ts knees to labor for a chance to bo heard and tho right to have Its difficulties with labor arbitrated. I think the shame of It all Is that in all these years ot progress we havo not yet rcachod the point where neither capital nor labor can or dare become 'autocratic or deny each other a hearing."

Edward A. Merrltt, William R. Rathvon and Annie M. Knott." The resolution characterized those who failed in these specifications as disloyal In that they supported Messrs. Eustace, Ogden, Rowland and Dlttemore. At once libel proceedings were threatened against the church and, strongly urged by Miles M. Dawson, a lawyer of 145 Broadway copies of the resolutions were recalled nnd suppressed. Nevertheless there remained a sincere majority of opinion In favor of the pending Iltlga. Hon that would cast out the trustees and sever connections between the church and the publishing society.
