Prohibition resolution

New York, November 15[1]—National prohibition and total abstinence were favored in a resolution passed today at the annual convention of the New York diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church.  In another resolution the mayor of New York was asked to refuse special licenses for the sale of liquor on New Year’s Eve, which falls on Sunday.  The anti-saloon league also has filed a protest with the mayor against the issuance.
