The Now York Sun was evidently
short of copy yesterday morning SO il
used up over o half column on the
first page rehashing the story about
Nixon's torpedo hoats'now building
in this city. The fact that Mr.. Nixon
has taken charge Of the local ship
yard; that workmen are busy on ten
or more small ''high speed" boats here
and that they may possibly be for the
Russian government; that Mr.. Nixon
absolutely refuses to talk about these
boats and that the local yard is care
fully guarded, all has been published
in the local papers and New York and
Newark papers owe q month ago
The San story contained nothing new
yet, the mere fact that the Sun re-
mashed it., ! many of the evening papers
reprinted with a display head last
night, just MS If it was something
they had never published before.
Funny, isn't it?
0dell Is certainly making a great

euding to serve the people as their
chief executive, is more than the re-
spec able voters can stand. Governor
