CALCUTTA, India, April 22— Mahdi Masud, the Pakistani diplomat who armed here last night as the new Deputy High Commissioner, tried unsuccessfully today to take control of the Calcutta mission.

The chief secretary of India's West Bengal state government gave him no satisfaction on his request for eviction of the East Pakistanis who took over the mission last Sunday in the name of their independence movement.

He also encountered other difficulties here, where sympathy for the East Pakistani movement Is strong and where considerable private assistance has been channeled to its forces.

Mr. Masud first tried to get a room last night at the Grand Hotel, considered Calcutta's best. The management refused his request on the ground that his presence might incite a riot and cause damage to the hotel, which is being renovated.

The Hindustan International Hotel gave Mr. Masud a room, but the staff refused to serve him and, according to one report, some staff members told him that if he did not leave on his own, they would throw him out.

He did manage to stay the night, but this morning, a crowd of hostile demonstrators gathered and began to throw bricks and firecrackers. The police used a few tear‐gas bombs to disperse the crowd. One window was broken in a scuffle.

Mr. Masud spent the after noon trying to convince the chief secretary or West Bengal state, N. C. Sen Gupta, that he should evict the Bengalis from the mission, a big, old two‐ story villa at 9 Circus Avenue. Mr. Sen Gupta reportedly said the matter was outside his jurisdiction and suggested that the Pakistani diplomat take it to court.
