NEW YORK, Oct. livery incom-
ing train and steamer adds to the nu-
merous company of 1911 Glidden tour
lists already here for the start of the
big run Saturday morning. Contest
board headquarters at ~ Fifth avenue
is their rallying point, and the full cler-
ical stan OF that department is being
taxed to meet them all.
1t is probable that an escort of mo-
torcycle police will be detailed to lead
the tourists out Of New York city. Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo will issue or
ders covering this point today or to-
morrow.
LINE OF DEPARTURE.
The tour will form at the corner Of
Fifth avenue and seth street, where the
A A A headquarters are located and
will move from there in solid body,
starting ats o'clock sharp. The route
OF exit from the city will be south on
Through to Broadway, and from there
to CORTLAND street ferry for the Jer-
sey side.
The southerners residing in New
York who are to escort the tourists to
the ferry are engaged in arranging the
details of their part Of the program.
The Newark News is authority for
the statement that Governor Wilson will
meet the tour on the far side of the
ferry and ride across New Jersey with
il in Governor Hoke SmIrn's car. Gov
ernor Smith has telegraphed TO r. p.
Ansley, the Atlatna real estate dealer,
arranging for his daughter, Miss Laura
Hoke Smith, to travel in Mr.. Ansley's
car with Miss Laura Ansley, while gu
berantorial guests are riding with Gov
ernor Smith.
The editor Of THE Spirit of Jefferson"
published at. Charleston, W. Va, writes
to the contest board that Governor Glas-
cock Of West Virginia desires to ride
across the corner of that state with
Governor Smith, and inquiries the date
and hour of the tours passing.
The Newark Board Of Trade viii
meet the tour with a big escort of cars
and give it welcome to that New Jersey
city. The state of New Jersey has
waived it's rigid. requirement concerning
automobile licenses TO permit the I'M
hampered passage of the tour.
This action is said to be creditable al
most entirely to the efforts of the New
ark Board of Trade. State inspectors
will ride with the tour across New Jer-
sey TO give IL free passage through the
state. s.--.s
