The San Francisco call., 1910-08-20


Friends of Miss Emily Hazel Marsky,
one of the youngest and most charming
of the candidates for the honor of being
Queen California during the Admission
day festival, promise to be on hand
with a whole barrel of votes when the
final count is held at the ST. Francis
hotel tonight. In fact the hackers OF
Miss Marsky, who has been heralded
by many as the true type of Spanish
California beauty. insist that their ia
vorite must win at any cost and a
whirlwind campaign will be made to-
day in the determination to place her on
the throne
Although the count made last week
showed Miss Lillian Jordan to be in the
lead by good margin, none of the
other candidates seems particularly
perturbed. as the heaviest voting has
been during the last week, while the
largest vote for single day will un-
doubtedly be cast today when the friends
and campaign managers of the various
candidates will be at work early gath
ering in votes from every possible
source.
contender for the honor of being
queen of the festival who is picked by
her friends to prove the dark horse of
the race. is Miss Lorita Ballard. Miss
Ballard is from the Mission. and her
popularity in that section is so marked
that it is said that she will have cast
for her a good many thousand votes
during the day. Her manager inti-
mated last night that Miss Ballard is
as good as elected now and that all
that remains is for her votes to be
counted to prove the fact.
The ballot boxes for the final count
will be opened in the tapestry room at
the st. Francis promptly at o'clock
tonight. At that time all candidates
are requested to bring their ballot
boxes to the hotel and deliver them to
the committee in charge. A corps of
clerks with adding machines will as

agement has kindly furnished an or
chestra to dispense music during the
evening. Immediately after the queen
is elected she will be waited upon by
the costumers, who will aid her in
selecting her robes and those of her
maids and various attendants. Between
appointments with the costumers re-
hearsa1s of court ceremonies and her
other many duties in preparation for
her reign, the lucky winner will have
very busy time between now and Sep
