on his way TO the launching Of the

acting governor Sidney P. Osborn did
TO bring himself into the limeilght was
send the big. white, conspicuous execu-

The chauffeur reported at the capitol

take the car to the garage and keep It
there Then he took a jitne bus down
town for lunch.
Hunts political enemies have criti-

an expensive motor car. Newspapers
opposed TO the Hunt administration say
il costs the taxpayers $500 a month
to maintain the machine.
