proving a barrier towards keeping the

vtction that they will increase in
number as soon as the various pros
pective purchasers have had Q chance

interested IN the auto line have been
attracted to the various exhibits by
the gorgeous decorations; and there
= no gainsaying the fact that some
of them will be numbered among

Of motorists before the week Is over.

No pains have been spared to make
the week successful from every point
of view and the manner IN which all
local dealers have e1erted their ef-
forts and the attractive way in which
they have decorated their show rooms

large as well as to their respective
Arms and the cars they handle Due

SEE HOPE Of
TREATY VOTE
BY NOV. Is

Hope OF a nnal treaty vote in the
Senate by November 10 appeared
brighter today.
Although all efforts Of leaders on
both sides to forecast action have
been unsuccessful thus far. many
said they were confident that the
treaty hght will collapse within
few days.
Democratic leaders made it clear,
however, they will not permit the
treaty TO be railroaded through, and
viii prefer delay to accepting objec-
tionable reservations.
There seemed to be a feeling that
the biggest men Of the opposing sides
are working toward some kind of an
understanding. iE the belief that the
nation demands quick disposition of
the treaty.

today on the La Toilette amendment
TO strike out labor clauses. An agree
ment has been made for a vote on this
amendment at 3 p. m. today.
