enrolment of l33.4ss. Thus the vote for
Hines in 1921 was considerably less
than for Rush in 1917 in percentage.

polled by any disgluntled candidate

Mr.. Murphy It Is wholly within It's power
to do so When the new executive
committee meets tomorrow night, how

seventy of the seventy-two members.
Demonstration Probable.
The executive committee-the district
leaderes-is scheduled TO meet at 2. Nj.
and the county committee at 5. The
first will be a closed meeting, the second
public. There are more than 5000 hem

more than 1900 or so can squeeze into

to outshout them Naturally. such being
the situation. lot of policemen will be
assigned to East Fourteenth street.

be as expensive to Hines as 1t promised
to be. for the fifty watchers for the
