New York, June 27.-While San
Francisco and New Orleans are strug-
Cling to convince congress of the
equities Of their respective claims for
recognition as the place in which to
held the proposed Panama exposition,
It is interesting to note the eagerness
shown by New York's representative
business men to pour cold water on
the suggestion of an exposition here
In 1918. It will be recalled that it
was In 1913 that the Dutch colony OF
New Amsterdam-the original name
Of the old city-was founded. For
some months certain element in
town has been fostering a movement
for which we are indebted to our
own Teddy-to commemorate that his
toric event with an exposition. The
committee recently appointed by
Mayor Gaynor to consider its advisa-
bility has intimated to His Honor that
they do not think 1t would be good
business proposition. The experience
lof Philadelphia, which suffered for
years after the centennial exposition
Of 1876 and of other cities that have
sponsored expositions since that time,
has served to discourage such shows
among metropolitan business men,
who regard them as a blight rather
than a help to a community. Ffnan-
,cially they are rarely II ever success
full, and usually leave behind them a
horde of producing men and wom-
en- who contribute nothing to the
'city's prosperity and material ad-
Hancement.
