Several manufacturers. who have been
reserving the entry Of their cars until
the chairman was selected, wired in
Yesterday that Mr. Trego was mi
nentlv satisfactory to them and that
their cars would be entered at once.
Several entrants have also taken Occa-
sion to commend Mr.! Trego's selection
in the highest terms.
One of the big Offices In a reliability
contest is the chief observer and the
position IS one that requires more ths
ordinary executive ability. For chicf
observer Of the Munsey tour the mana
gers nave selected Richard p. Covert,
chief clerk of the Postoftice Depart
