SWEDISH GAMES ARE
FINANCIAL FAILURE
Newspaper Stories Said to
Have Affected Receipts at
Stockholm.

LONDON. July 27.-It is expected that
the Swedish Olympic games at Stock
holm. just ended. will prove a failure
financially.
This experience is similar to that of
the English at London In 1903 whore
the reports OF high prices and the enor-
nous outlay for the stadium resulted In
a large loss for the Britishers.
The Swedish and other papers before
the games printed stories Of the pro-
hibitive prices which would be charged
at Stockholm and frightened away many
thousands Of visitors who otherwise
would have come to the games.
The management OF the Olympics tried
in every way 10 Offset the damage done
by the newspaper stories, but the i'm
preston prevailed that accommodations
would be hard 10 obtain and high priced
white. as matter OF fact there were
plenty Of vacant ROOFS in IN. hotels and
boarding houses at reasonable prices.
