Tango Disrupted Plans for
Charity Ball, Says RumOr

HOBOKEN. Dec. 22.-In spite of de-
mails of members of the standing COM
mittee of st. Mary's Hospital it was
persistently rumored yesterday that
the reason the annual charity ball
was called off this year is because of
the objections of Sister Julia, mother
superior, to turkey trottlng and tam
going. The annual affair has always
been one of the most brilliant social
events of this city.
When seen yesterday members OF
the committee stated that the reason
for the abandonment of the charity
ball, as 1t is known. was that the
hospital authorities did not feel JUS
titled in asking the people of Hobok-
en- for further contributions after the
recent campaign for funds, which
netted the hospital 100000. Some of
those who denied that the tango was
the determining factor in the decision
to call the ball off were F. G. Himp-
Ter, of 1924 Bloomfield street; Mrs.
Carl Willenbork, of sic Hudson street,
chairman of the standing committee,
and Mrs. Lawrence Fayan, 1000 Hud-
son street.
