she has great vitality. and consequently

Some opposition to inviting McCarren

marked last night. Instead of being in

Equally SO, is probably the statement
that the hall was filled with McCarren
supporters who were on hand to shake
hands and hobnob a bit. In fact a re-
ception was held in the y. NJ. c. A.
building after the meeting. attended by
about three hundred, with Pat as centre
of attraction and guest Of honor.
Lieut.. Beckett and twenty-five police
men guarded the doors OF the hall. No
