Nahum Sokolow, chairman of the Zionist Executive, who is now touring the United States in behalf of the United Palestine Appeal, was not informed of the date and place of the fourteenth annual convention of the Mizrachi, the Orthodox Zionist organization, which was held in Pittsburgh May 12, 13, 14.
This statement was made by Mr. Sokolow to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in reference to the reported criticism voiced at the Mizrachi convention of Mr. Sokolow’s absence and the failure of the convention to receive a message of greetings from him.
Mr. Sokolow was not informed by the Mizrachi American administration concerning the date and place of the convention and because of his travels he did not know of its going into session, those close to him explained.
