VIII All Vote to Close.
CHICAGO, July 13-Little doubt is
now expressed among the Exposition
directors that Sunday closing of the
Worlds Fair will shortly become an
assured fact
There was a discussion on the question
yesterday when the executive committee
met but the question was too sweeping
for them TO handle and the matter was
referred to the general meeting of the
directors which takes place at the
Worlds Fair grounds Friday.
The comparatively small attendance
on the last four Sundays has perplexed
the directors and it is now highly
probable that the Worlds Fair will not
be opened after next Sunday az it is
expected the directors will vote fol
