NEW YORK LEADS LONDON
Statistician Figures American City's
Population as 5,376,966.

New York, Jan. New York city
leads London in population by 1,000,-
900, according to figures made public
by DR.. w. Fl. Guilfoy, statistician of
York's population at 5,376,966, a total
based on the city's presumptive
growth since the last count was made.
This comparison, however, does not
include as part of London that city's
large suburban area. Although New
York is gaining rapidly in population
the city and county of London is
retrogressing.
