HIGH HOTEL
LONDON
Will Bleed Visitors During Cor.
ondfion-S0me Double and
Treble Usual Rates
CIV the Associated Press. J


London, May 27.-The London no.
tells are in a panic over the coronation
prospects. They counted on az rich
harvest, and most Of them doubled
or trebled their rates. They refused
also to let rooms for less tina a week
or a fortnight. Several large hotels
were specially built for the occasion,
and all have been depending upon a
rush of wealthy Americans.
At the present time, however, 1t
would appear that hey have over
reached themselves. as the result Of
their enterprise has only been to
frighten people away. While London
has seldom more strangers within its
gates than now, the great majority OF
them are colonials and provinclals.
There are thousands of Canadians and
Australians, but the American contin-
gent is not larger than at the same
season in an ordinary year.
Already the hotels have begun 10
lower their rates according TO pub
Iished prices, and are doing every
thing possible to remove the impress
sion that it is difficult to secure &C
Communications. Some of the hotels
seem even less full thar as usual. and
visitors are likely to n plenty OF
rooms at reasonable rates.
