Business Leaders
at Atlantic City
Delegates to the Chamber OF
Commerce Convention Give
Dinner for Mr.. Hoover.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York FiEsALn.
ATLANTIC CITY, y. j.. April 3o.-Ths
resort closed the busiest convention week
of the year tonight. Nearly 10000 dele
gates have attended the meetings Of
bodies representing divers fields Of en-
deavor.
The ninth annual convention OF the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States drew business leaders Of eminencs
from nearly all the states and from
some of the Latin American republics.
The only formal social event Of the con-
vention was dinner for the Secretary
of Commerce, Mr. Herbert Hoover, ar
the Traymore. Among others who made
addresses was A1r. A. c. Bedford OF
New York, chairman of the board or the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
The Tall Cedars of Lebanon assembled
from many States for a conclave of the
Supreme Forest and impaired more bril-
liancy to the Boardwalk than any East
er fashion revue in the resorts history
The many forest guards in garish uni
forms paraded along the wooden ray at
frequent intervals. Sojourners had the
unusual experience of being transported
in illusion to the desert sands of the
Orient as the Cedars passed by, When
the Cedars and the captains of industry
attending the Chamber of Commerce
convention were on the Boardwalk ut
the same time the contrast was striS-
ing.
There was conference of orthodont-
lists at the Ambassador that delved into
scientific problems. while the captains
of industry wrestled with the perplex-
ing business questions but a stones
throw away in the Chelsea. In fact
there We're captains of industry in group
meetings at various hotels. including the
Traymore, the Chalfonte, the Breakers
Haddon Hall. the Marlborough Blen-
helm and the Brighton.
Then came the annual gathering of
the New Jersey Mosquito Extermina-
tion Association. which told the world
that the Jersey 'skeeter" is about to
sing his swan song. The specialists de-
clared that they are preparing for a
great trench attack on the States notori-
Gus bird of prey, and they used the word
trench" advisedly for extensive work
of excavation in marshy places through
out the State will be undertaken IN the
coming year. and dugouts will be
treated scientifically with chemicals
with view to annhilating the breeding
places of the pests.
