MOBILE CONTEST CLOSING.
LEADERS HOLDING BACK FOR 4
STIRRING Finish.
POSSIBLY A SURPRISE IN STORE FOR SOME
B0DY-A FURRY OF EXCITEMENT
AMONG SOME OF THE TARDY ONES.

While the automobile contest is nearing its
end. some Of the leaders show a disposition to
hang back. evidently having made up their
minds to finish with rush. There may be a
surprise in store for some of those leaders who
may possibly feel confident with their husba nded
strength A positive flEy has been noticed
recently among some 81 the candidates well
down in thu list. Nothing definite is known at
this office. and the above Is printed merely with
the idea to warn the competitors that the con-
test is in their hands. and the result de-
ponds entirely upon the number Of ballots cast
But 9verconhdence is mighty bad thing
frequently in any kind OF race or contest OF
either speed, endurance or popularity The best
does not always win when advantages are not
seen by those who should take no chances when
so valuable a trophy is stake. There arr
three more days Of hustling. and they promise
to be busy days for most of the competitors.
The interest in the automobile is now so pro-
ncunced that the winner of the contest will in
deed be envted by his fellows The machine is
of the Mobile Company of Tarrytown. N Y.
make and is ready for immediate delivery. The
winner will receive the machine in time 10 take
tour before the severe winter weather sets in.
But it might he. wise warn the tardy ones
that is until the finishing line
has been passed. and no one competitor has any
right 10 feel secure simply because the friends
of any particular candidate may have promised
to swamp this office the closing day. Posst-
bly, the wagon containing the ballots might catch
fire the train carrying the bundles might
into a snowdrfft. That would be about as
funny as Tammany Halls sudden awakening to
the fact Of the presence of untrammeIed vice in
this city. The successful candidate who had not
been caught asleep would. naturally. see the
largest portion Of The humor
Only three days of voting remain to the con-
testnnts- All votes must he in this ONCE at g
u. m. sharp on Monday. November 10. Con-
testnnts and their friends will do well to
bear the time and date in mind.
