17-2O reaches the District building. there
is likely to be an unusually large
amount of hustle and hustle among GER
tain officials.
It will be remembered that New York,,s
mayor visited Washington several
months ago, took a stroll down Penn
sylvania avenue one night, and on his
return to his home made a few unfay-
orable insinuations about Washington's
morality.
Describing his stroll, Mayor Gaynor
said he saw many things which could
not be seen in New York" It is gen.
orally understood he was not making
reference to either the city Postoffice,
the Washington Monument. or to the
fight then on for 90-cent gas. Mayor
Gaynor inferred that the morals of
Washington were even worse than those
of his own city.
The declaration made by the mayor
was declared to have been without foun-
dation by the city fathers, who said
