AUTO PROTEST. is DIsALLowED
Referee Says Ford Car Didn't Violate
Rules.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 1.-THE protest
Of the Shawmut car against the award OF
the first prize in the New York-to-Seattle
race to Ford car No. 2 was
disallowed by Robert Guggenhelm, the
referee, today. Mr.. Guggenheim found that
the evidence did not sustain any OF the
charges that the Ford car had violated the
rules. The trophy cup and 1000 in gold
go to the Ford car No. 2. The second prize
of 1880 goes to the Shawmut car, which
came in second. An appeal TO the contest
of the club of Amer
lea, under whose sanction the race was
run, is still possible, however.
The Acme car in the race reached Seat
tie at 2:30 this afternoon. 1t had continued
in the contest, hoping that the Ford No.
would be disqualified.
