SYMPHONY CONCERT TOMORROW
 NIGHT AT PARK THEATRE UNDER LEADERSHIP OF W. DAMROSCH.

That the coming of Mr. Walter Dam- rosch and the New York Sympnony Orchestra at the Park Theatre ..on Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club Is meeting with popular favor, is evidenced by the large sale of tick cts not only by subscription but at the regular sale which is now going on at the box office. There are still some good seats left but there is no doubt but that a capacity house will greet this great organization on their Dppearance here. Those who have not yet secured their seats will do well to call at the box office at once. Spe- cial attention Is called to the fact that the concert will commence at 8 o'clock sharp on account of the sub scrfption dance at the Stratfield on the same evening. so as to enable those attending the dance to come to the concert first This concert Is not only to the club subscribers but also to the public.
 MT. Damrosch. the conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra. be- lieves that in the not too distant fu- born in America '"rhe politicians of today" he said recently, mo matter how great their merits and their use fulness. stand for works in the purely material development of man. The time will come when the politician will

 CAUGHT IN MID-OCEAN."
 The latter part of the life of pr. Harvey Crippen has been woven into a melodrama that will be seen at the Park Theatre on Wednesday. matinee and evening. The production is large one and the cast has been se- 1ected with an eye to the best rendf- tion of this powerful play. The title Is Caught in Mid-Ocean'', and the scenes are laid in London and on ship board Tn the steamer scene a gen. uine wireless telegra phic outfit is shown in action. and the manner of sending and receiving messa ges is very strikingly shown. There have been few more dramatic tragedies in years than the Crippen case and the playwriFht has selected the most tense and vivid incidents in writing the play. The result is that it is one of the most interesting shows ever gent to this city.

legislators, receiving siXty-tWo votes,
four more than majority of all the

The fact, however, that twenty-five
members refused to attend the caucus
leaves a strong possibility that when
the legislature votes in regular session
he may fail to receive the number of
votes necessary for election.
Besides Mr.. Sheehan's the names of
Edwin M. Shepard of Brooklyn and D.
Cady Herrick of Albany and New
York were the only ones presented to
the caucus. Mr.. Shepard received %
votes and Judge Herrick 7.

made unanimous.
