ICE MAY INTERFERE
WITH LAUNCHING

The winter ice may interfere with
the launching of the new steamboats,.
'7city of Philadelphia" and CITY of
Wilmington" now in course of con-
struction az the plant of the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Corporation. Il is
the intention Of the company to com
plete both vessels about the same time.
and as they will not be needed until
next summer the launching may not
take place until February. II has
not been decided, however, whether to
hold the launching in that month or
in November. There seems TO be
some objection to launching the YES
sells before the winter sets in on ac-
count of the ice.
The Wilson line intends TO run all
four boats next summer on a ninety
minute schedule. The schedule is now
being worked out.

song which New Haven is singing to-
day about the three men who. one
after another were chosen to be the
Republican nominee for mayor All
were, willing. but the better-halves OF
all three interposed strenuous objec-
tions.
The first man chosen to run for
mayor was former Gov. Rollin S.
woodruff; the second was Eli Whit

Mcclellan Mathewson. The nomina-
tion this year is equivalent TO election,
