Next summer will see about 80 new
cottages ready for occupancy at York,
and every one of them expensive
houses. An encouraging feature of the
building operations in York this year
is the fact that the greater part is done
by summer residents themselves.

HAD LOST
Heavily in Wall st.
SpecuIations.
Robert Remington Was
Almost PcnnilesS.

New York, Aug. 20.--A number Of
Manhattan friends of Robert II. Rem
ington, who committed suicide in
Newport, Monday, say that his mind
was unbalanced temporarily. They
say that the breaking Of his, engage
ment to Miss May Van Allen, the eldest
daughter Of James ]. Van Allen and
granddaughter of Mrs. Astor preyed
on him. However, d Manhattan law
yer, who had attended to Remington's
affairs, said last night that he doubt
ed If the breaking of the engagement
to Miss Van Allen was the entire
cause Of the suicide. He said Rem
ington had been gambling in Wall
Street, and had been a very heavy
loser, and he would not be. surprised
to find, when the estate was settled,
that Remington had little or nothing.
( The body win be taken to Williams
port, Pa, and buried in the family
plot at that place aslsoon as arrange.
ments can be made by his brother,
who left this city for the scene of the
tragedy this. afternoon. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Whitman, who
was legal adviser of Robert r. Rem
ington, said that so far as he knew,
his client left no will He had never
heard Mr.. Remington discuss the ad.
visibility Of making a will, and did
not think such an instrument would
be found among the dead mans eff.
fects, Further than this Mr.. Whitman
would make mo statement.
There seems to be considerable mys.
terry as to just how MI. Remington
and Miss Van Allen became acquaint.
ed, one story to the effect that they
first met on an Atlantic liner being
denied. Mr.. Remington, it was said
today by one who appeared to know
a good deal about him, did not, when
he first became acquainted with the
Van Aliens, live in what might be called
bachelor apartments. They We're sim
ply furnished rooms, well but not by
any means luxuriously kept.
=. p. Remington, brother of the
suicide, on his way to Newport yester
day, said he would take charge of his
brothers body and that the funera
would be held on Thursday from the
family home in Williamsport, Pa
Mr.. Remington said he did not know
until yesterday that the engagement
of his brother to Miss Van Allen hat
been broken. Last Saturday, he said

mont, Washington. West Virginia. Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming. These give the party
margin of twelve states over the democrats.
which. however. would be wiped out by a
change Of six delegations and converted
into a democratic ma jority of two on a
presidential contest by the shifting Of
seven states The loss of ten seats In such
states as Idaho. Montana, North Dakota,
Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and California
would give the democrats these seven states
AID a majority of the state delegations.
Other states are similarly close in this re-
spect. The loss of two seats in New York
would give that delegation to the demo-
Gratis, and two in Maryland would likewise
put that state in the democratic list. So it
will be seen that the margin is not so sub
stantial as the first summary seems to
show. With the electoral college composed
of even number as will be the case two
years hence. tie is possible in that body,
but the chances of its occurring are
garded remote.
