The report that President elect CIeve-

hotel during his visit to New York City
next month has stirred up row. 4
Tribune reporter inquired at the Hoff-

piled that they had rooms for everybody

remarked that the papers knew more
about it than he. He added: "Mr. Cleve-

so well suited that he
will come again" The clerk volun-
ieered this further information: "All of
CleYeland's friends, Lamont, Hill, Nc
Cune and others, stop here, and guess
we can count on him."
