S5O,OOO,OOO PAID
FOR A BLOCK OF
LONDON PROPERTY
Mallabry Deeley Makes One
of Largest Real Estate
Purchases on
Record

London, December 16.-One of the
biggest private real estate deals on
record was completed today in the pur-
of freehold property in the center of
London for something over s50,O00,OO0
by Harry Maflaby Deeley, a unionist
member of the House of Commons.
The exact figures were withheld by
the correspondents, but experts based
their calculations on the cost of ac-
quiring the property for the Aldwych
and Kingsway Improvement. which
amounted to s22,20O.oo0.
The estate covers 10 acres and rough
,ly speaking stretches east and west from
Kingsway to st. Martins lane near
Trafalgar square. and north and south
from Longacre to the Strand.
1t includes the Royal Opera, the
Drury Lane. the Aldwych. the Strand
and the Lyceum theatres. several hotels,
Convent Garden market, Bow street
police court. the National Sporting club
and number of great printing houses.
Held Since 1910
The property has been in the posses
sion of the Bedford family since 1910,
when 1t was granted to them by King
Henry VIII at the time OF the dissolu-
stion of the Roman Catholic religious
communities and the confiscation of the
church property.
The income from the estate in recent
years Is known TO have been greater
than that of some of the principalities
of Europe. Convent Garden market
alone brought the Duke $4,000 yearly.
The purchases makes the previous
deals of Mr.. Mallaby Deeley pale into
insignifcance, although in July he ac-
quired the st. Georges hospital site OPP
/ posite Hyde park for s2,350000, and a
Piccadilly hotel for s2,50O,000.
This sale means that one of the great
estates in London is being broken up.
The metropolis is practically divided
among nine persons including the
Dukes of Portland Bedford and West
minister; the Marquises of Exeter, Sails
bury, Northampton and Camden, the
Earl of Craven and ~viscount Portman.

at times, and Ii pictures were drawn Of
why things happened to the party in
1912, they were not dwelt upon at
length and 1t was plain from the be-
ginning of the meeting that the COM
mitteemen realized that the pressing
question up for their decision was not
the method of change, but the change
itself.
In closing the discussion for oppo-
nents of the specitl convention plan,
Senator Borah expressed regret to find
himself not In harmony with such of
his intimate friends as former Governor
Hadley, Senators Cummins of Iowa and
Jones of Washington, and others whom
he held in high regard.
II would not be candid with myself :
said the senator, IF 7 did not express
my judgment in the situa ton that con-
fronts us. The great contest which VIII
determine whether the republican party
is to resume supremacy or pass into his
tory will be settled in 1916 All other
skirmishes no matter how much they
may be emphasized, will be preliminary.
We can afford to be cautious and patient
in preparing for that great conflict If |
did not believe that the republican party
was progressive and that % per cent of
the party. members have a heart interest
in the great problems confronting the ma
ton would not remain member of the
party. But my observations and investi-
cations convince me that the rank and
file of this party organization are just
as much alive to the problems of this
hour as were the men in the forefront
of the party from 1856 to 1884
Believes It Progressive
"If the republican party adopts re-
dictionary platform In 1916, 1t will become
nothing but the voice of the aristocracy.
/ believe it is progressive and | want to
gather up that progressive sentiment and
crystalize it in 1916 IL we call a con-
vention in 1914 what position will we be
in? There are states with primary laws
not adapted for a national convention
except for the selection of a national
ticket Such a convention would newt
ably result in the selection of hand picked
delegates in two-thirds of the states and
any platform promulgated would not be
a true expression of the rank and file
and would not be one upon which the
party would be able to so to the country
in the next congressional election.
Let u.s. therefore, here and now, dis
playing somewhat the qualities of real
leadership, adopt a basis of representa-
ton and say to the people that they shall
in future select their delegates TO the
national conventions. By 1916 every state
will have adopted primary law. where

vention of 1914 would merely result in
illumination in the air." and that the

a brush at the Hilles dinner last night
Senator Borah continued
"There is no more astute political leader
in the country, representing the views
he does, than Mr.. Barnes of New York,
and unless some change is made, he
will just as surely be as potent in the
convention of 1916 as he was in 1872"
Are you afraid to make an issue on
that?" interrupted Mr.. Hadley.
Take Chance on Fight
II don't want to do it with my hands
tied and my feet hobbled,' Senator Borah
replied, III l can be permitted to go into
the fields and the by-ways and tell men
that they can go to a convention of their
party and assure them that they can be
seated after they get there, 1 will take
a chance on a fight with the friends
of the old system of doing things

of the ways, but l would not be candid

party must be progressive, that it must

Senator Jones made conciliatory
speech and announced that while he fav-
ored a special convention, the main idea
was to get together. I'VE cannot af-
ford,'' said the senator, ito wait for some
thing to turn up as consequence of
