No Automobile
Show This Winter, ).
Makers Decide
Government Removes Re-
strictions, but Manufactur-
ers Can't Prepare Exhibits

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-Conver-
sion of the War Industries Board to a.
Peace Industries Board. to act as a
balance wheel during the reconstrnc-
ton period, was suggested by repre-
Sentatives of more than one hundred
automobile manufacturers, at meet
ing here to-day of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. Com
mittees were appointed to cooperate
with the War Industries Board in the
solution of after-the-war problems.
The manufacturers voted. almost
unanimously, not to hold the annual
national automobile shows in New
York and Chicago this winter. While
restrictions on exhibits of CONNER
cial nature have been removed by the
government. the automobile men ex-
pressed belief that it would not be
possible to prepare suitable exhibitions
IN the time available
Statistics presented at the meeting
by the manufacturers showed that the
output of passenger cars for the year
1918 would be less than 100000,
tion, without the restrictions placed
upon plants, the normal production for
the year would have reached approxi~
mately 100000.
Opinion among the manufacturers.
as expressed at the meeting, was that
automobile plants will not be able to
get into full production again before
next summer. In the meantime prices
of cars, it was said, probably will re-
main at present levels.

Opera

Miss Geraldine Farrar effected her
second appearance at the Metropolitan
Opera House last night. The opera
was Puccini's "Tosca," which should
be called "Scarpia" until further no
tlee for double reason: Mir. Scotti's
lmpersonation of the latter character
sums up most that is excellent at the
representations which the work has re-
celved for year at least, and Miss
tarrar's impersonation of the part of
the Roman singer is no longer even

looked at If they are to sing the

prodigality to which Miss Farrar is
prone-as in the first act, for instance
they may become even an annoyance.
False glare attracts, but more otfends
the eye. tragic actress can i'm
personate a singer without singing a
note, as representations of Sardous
heroine have demonstrated; but sing
ing Tosca should sing as we'll as act,
and the glitter of her garments has
little to do in the case. No one thought

served and constant.

State Drys Hope
To Carry Senate
For Ratification
Assembly Expected to Act
Favorably on Federal
Amendment
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

Nopeclut Dtpdtch TO The Irt6ure)
ALBANY, Nov. 18.--In spite Of the
defeat OF Governor Whitman, who
championed the dry cause all during
the last session of the Legislature, it
is expected that the advocates of rati-
i1cation of the Federal prohibition
amendment will line up strong at the
next session.
The statement of Senator George r.
Thompson of Niagara that prohibition
ratification will be a paramount issue
and that the new majority leader of
the Senate must be an avowed advocate
OF 1T, has caused considerable discus
sion among legislators. While many
OF them may not believe. with Thomp-
son, that the prohibition question has
anything to do with the selection of a
majority leader, lineup of the twen-
weight Republicans of the new SEN
ate indicates that at least twenty three
are avowedly for ratification, two are
against it, and the attitude of the other
three is unknown.
If the three doubtful ones vote with
the drys the ratification measure will
have sufficient votes to pass. The ndi-
cations are that the Assembly will be
controlled by the drys.
Of the new Republican Senators,
Caleb H. Baumes, of Newburgh; Burt
Kasson. of Glovcrsville; Frederick M.
Davenport, of Oneida; Fred B. Pitcher,
Of Watertown; Clayton R. Lusk, of
Cortland; Seymour Lowman, of the 41st
District, and Mortimer Y. Ferris of
Ilconderoga are practically certain to
vote for ratification with the sixteen
dry Senators who were returned The
douot1ul ones. all new members, are
James l.. Whitley, of Monroe; Walter

West Chester

Music

Miss Aurore La Croix. young plan
lst who gave a recital only two weeks
ago, appeared again yesterday after
noon at Aeolian Hall.
The excellent impression she made at
her first recital she continued, playing
among other things Beethoven's So
nata Appassionata, Chopin group,
Lendvai's Venice Nocturne," De-
bussys "Jardin sous la Pluie" and
Royce's "Theme and Variations" While
her reading of the Beethoven sonata
did not bring all from the work that
might have been wished, her remark
ably clean finger work was always in
evidence. She was warmly applauded
by an audience of excellent size.
In the evening the same hall held a
violin recital. The violinist was Miss
Helen Jeffrey, who proved herself a
young artist of unusual ability. Aside
from an occasional slip in intonation
her playing last night was remarkably
clean and accurate In the Handel
sonata. and especially in the exceed
ingly difficult Bach Chaconne for violin
alone, her breadth of style and freedom
and elasticity of bowling proved the
soundness Of her feeling for and train
ing in the classic style. In addition she
showed a delicate feeling for nuance
and tone which, while not especially
large, was pure and firm in texture
In the Chaconne her sense of rhythm
was finely incisive' and her playing at
once vigorous and we'll controlled
Miss Jeffrey is an artist distinctly
above the average, and being both by
birth and training an American. she is
a distinct credit to our national music
art. Besides the Handel and Bach
numbers, she played d'Ambrosio's B
minor concerto, Romance of Rach-
maninof, Godowsky's "Perpetuum Mo

"Slovak," by Samuel Gardner Her
audience was large and most enthu-

very we'll. A somewhat heavy insist
ence of the fantasy weighs on the
lightness of its fantasy but does not
break its charm. The setting for the
scene is beautiful. and Adelina O'Con-
nor, the leading lady who appeared in
several plays of the bill with varying
success, is quite at her best in it.

from which the entertainment takes
its name. is propaganda for enlighten-
ing the laymen about some of the
duties of the medical corps. It's dra-
matte interest is not great. Edward
Goodman's own play, "The Instrument
OF Cod" is melodrama, showing the
chagrin of the Kaiser with his defeat
and his melodramatic murder by an
American woman. There are those to
whom portrayals of the Kaiser in
movies and plays have an appeal Per-
sonally we hate having to be faced
with him, and this play scarcely recon-

In spite of some unevenncss, the Of

an interesting one. They remain for

Republican Attorneys Ques-
ton Good Faith of Demo-
Gratis in Opposing Action
Voting Machines Fail
In One Village More Votes
Were Recorded Than There
Are Residents, Says Glynn

Supreme Court Justice Philbin re-
served decision yesterday afternoon. af-
ter listening to the arguments for and
against the application of Governor
Charles S Whitman for an inspection
of the ballots cast in New York County
last election. The Governor was repre-
sented by Herbert r. Limburg and
Abraham S Gilbert, while Abram |.
Elkus appeared on behalf of Alfred +,
Smith, the Democratic candidate.
The returns, Mr. Limburg declared
showed Mr.. Smith to have a plurality
of less than one-third of | per cent
of the registered vote. Even slight
inaccuracies, he contended, might ma
terially change the election result. Mr..
Elkus insisted that Mr.. Smith had no
desire to prevent an inspection of the
ballots. He declared, however, that
the Democratic candidate insisted that
the inspection be made under prone r
safeguards. 1t was his contention that
nothing should be done until after the
official canvass of the ballots by the
State Board OF Canvassers, on Decem-
ber 20.
Good Faith Questioned
Mr.. Limburg and Mr.. Gilbert both
questioned the good faith of the Demo-
cratic contention. They argued that if
followed out it would mean that it
would postpone definite action until
long after Mr.. Smith had been inaugu-
rated.
George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, in com
menting last night on the efforts of the
Smith men to prevent an immediate in
spection of the vote. said
ut is rather strange attitude for
the Democratic party to assume in put
ting obstacles in the way of an investi-
CATION of the ballot boxes, especially
as the Democratic State Committee is
offering a reward of $4,000 for con-
victions for ballot irregularities up the
state. The Republicans welcome an in
vestigation of the ballots anywhere in
the state"
Chairman Glynn added that the Re-
publicans had Jared badly with the
voting machines in some { the upstate
towns and cities.
Machines Cause Loss
"We seem to have lost about 1000
votes in Steuben County, 800 in the
city Of Lockport, and in the village of
Morava the voting machines registered
more votes than the entire population
OF the village. Where a machine goes
wrong usually the entire election dis
trict is thrown out"
The official returns from upstate
counties, reported by the Democrats,
showed gains as follows: Chautauqua,
for Smith; Cortland. for Whitman; !;
Madison, for Whitman; Ontario, %
for Whitman; Orange. 80 for Smith;
Schenectady, % for VIII tman--a net
gain for Smith of A.
bany to-day. Tomorrow he will go to
Columbus, Ohio, to make an address
on Thursday night before the the In
ternational Conference Of the Anti
Saloon League.

Stormy Session of
Legislature Ahead.
Anderson Predicts

William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League,
says that Senator George F. Thompson,
of Niagara County, who yesterday de-
clared for ratification of the Federal
prohibition amendment, has created a
situation where only the prompt deci-
sion of the Republicans to ratify can
prevent the most stormy and tumultu-
GUS session the Legislature of New
York has ever seen.
Senator Thompson's statement"
said Mr.. Anderson yesterday, "has not
only blown the lid off, but spoiled it
for lid purposes. 1t has brought every
Republican, from the most distin-
guished private citizen down to the
humblest member Of the Legislature,
face to face with the question whether
the tremendous ratification majority OF
the Republican members in both
houses of the Legislature shall insist
upon carrying out the will of the ma
jority of the Republican party or
whether they shall betray the party
into the hands Of Tammany and the
brewers"

more than the mere seating of the
