still made by the Nixon managers
that they have 81 names signed up to
the pledge to vote for Nixon. The
people who figure say that two of the
rot in the city Sunday night and there

the claims of his managers with GER
tain grains of allowance.
One thing that is giving his mana
gers considerable uneasiness is the
fact that he "loosened up" to a few
to keep them from wavering, has got
ten whispered about. The men who
swore to keep it secret must have
rAlrank little and talked too much.
The claims made by his friends that
he was in all respects game rooster
and would spend 100000 before he
would allow Tom Hickey to beat him,

made on him by men who suddenly
discovered that they were factors in
his fight and who helped to make his
campaign.
One of his managers remarked in
the Arlington last evening: 1T would
be dirty shame for Hickey to come
in now and try to get this fight. It's
bad faith after Nixon made his own
campaign"
ooh come off the perch, didn't Nix

to be Republicans and elect Repub

Meanwhile the Nixon managers say
that while they have lost few votes
they know where they can get some
from the Fusion ranks There were
men who thought that Sparks had
given up the fight but he feels that
he owes it to his party and his con.

Sparks will now have warm time

1t IS claimed that the friends of
John P. Jones are taxing a hand in
the fight and have their tomahawks
out for NixOn's work of years ago,
work which the managers of Nixon
are trying to have the party forget.
