ACCOMMODATION
CAPACITY OF THE PAvILIOl

The assertion has been made that
should Los Angeles be successful in
obtaining the State Democratic Con-
vention there would not be suffice nj
rom at the hotels, boarding and
lodging-houses to accommodate the
visitors. That this statement is un-
true was ascertained yesterday by the
personal visit Of a representative oi
the HERALD to theshostelries and
rooming-houses in the center of the
city only. A year ago the hotels and
other places for the accommodation oil
visitors were filed, and there was
scarcely room to be obtained for any
price. Since that time many thou
sands of rooms have been added 10
the capacity Of the city, and the
pressure on the hotels has been re.
lieved to such an extent that Los An
geles will be able to accommodate ten
thousand visitors if necessary. The
sound of the hammer has not ceased
for an instant during the entire twelve
months. The result of this ceaseless
activity in building is observable at
the hotels, where business is not so
lively as it was. The addition Of sew
eral thousand rooms has naturally
taken away from the hostelries many
who formerly resided there by the
month, and has left them the more
able to accommodate transient guests.
Starting in at the northern end of
Main street proper, it was found that
the hotels could possibly accommo-
date during May, additional guests
about as follows: Pico House, SO;
Oxford, so; st. tlmo, 100 (thirty new
rooms will be ready for occupancy
about that time) Grand Central, so;
st. Charles, 60; United States, 100;
Natick, so; New Natick, so; Nadeau,
100; Hollenbeck, 100 Twill be finished
by May; Aldine, 100; Stevenson,
20; st. Nicholas, 80.
The private hotels and lodging house
can probably accommodate additional
guests as follows: Highland Villa, 60
Argyle House, 80; Ramsey House,
30; Otland, 40; Parker House, 20;
Hanna College building, 40; Virginie
House, 20; Pearl House, 20; Belle

This list does not include the hosts
Of smaller lodging houses to be found
iu every part Of the city, but is suf-
ficiently large to show that the visitors
to the convention can be accommo-
dated.

1t is claimed by those opposed te
Los Angeles as place for the con
vention, that there are not suitable
hall Accommodations. These gentle
men evidently forgot the Pavilion
which is larger than the halls il
which the conventions have beer
held at the north. When 1t was use(
by the National Opera Company j
seated comfortably $500 people
. Since then the seating capacity hal
been cut down to 8 200, of which seat
about 1900 are on the main floor
