Why are you trying to filter?
I just siphon from the primary to the secondary and if a little yeast gets through, it's no big deal since it will have plenty of time to settle out. Put the hose all the way to the bottom of the secondary. It might splash a tiny little bit but as soon as it fills up above the hose, it'll be fine.
