Tickets of admission to the Roosevelt
address tomorrow night have reached
the speculative stage. There are plenty
of bidders, but no takers. The first offer
to a fortunate man was 81 for his single
ticket. Prices since have scared. Every
holder of q ticket seems to be as anxious
to keep his ticket as the less fortunate
one is to get it. ~
Everything Is nearly ready for the presi-

ranged o-night and tomorrow morning.
