COUNTER SWAMPED
 WITH MOVIE VOTES
Owing to Thousands of Coupons Ac- Cumulated Over Holiday It is Impos-
 sible to Announce Standings Tonight

Even newspaper workers must have a holiday occasionally and so yester- day, in common With about all other classes they enjoyed a well earned day of rest. As result the thousands of votes which poured into the office in the moving picture popularity contest Wednesday were not counted. Yes terday double the accumulated amount poured in and consequently the man whose unfortunate lot is to count these ballots Is literally up to his neck in work today.
 Votes for almost every one of the contestants were poured into the bal lot boxes Wednesday night, all day yesterday and today in such quanti ties that it has been absolutely i'm possible for the counter to keep abreast of his work. But he is work ing hard and expects to be caught up to date by tomorrow, at which time It Will probably be possible to an nounce the votes of each contestant.
 indication of the great amount of puplc interest that this contest has aroused Is shown by the scores of telephone calls received at this office throughout the day, various people Wlshlng to know who was in the lead ana now various candidates stood. But owing to the fact that the count CT IS stlll hard at work sorting out the accumulatlOns of about seventy two hours of voting it has been inn poss1ple to satisfy this justifiable curi- osity.
 however, full report of the stand Ing Will be published tomorrow when, 1t IS certain from present indications some, startling changes in the number or votes cast will be announced. Also, It Is possible that there may be sev- eral changes in the relative standings of the several contestaAts.
