Capt. Clogher of the Second Regiment.

control within the State Armory and
Mayor Moore had no authority whatever
to enforce his threat to stop the dance
there tonight.
However, there was II dress rehearsal
this afternoon of the dances to be given

Joseph Smith OF New York before the
committee In charge Of the ball and the
different numbers we're approved.
Chief OF Police d. p. Flynn, who was
appointed censor for Mayor Moore. was
present. as were other officers. The CEN
soring threat created an abnormal de.
mand for tickets and over 1900 were
sold.
The woman manager Of the ball did not
openly defy the authority Of the Mayor,
but local newspapers carried stories this
afternoon asserting the authority Of Capt,
Closher and emphasizing that the Mayor
had no legal standing within the armory.
