AUTO SHOW JANUARY 20.
II Will Probably be Held in the
Auditorium in Eleventh
Street.

With prospects CT better show
than ever. the Automobile Trade As-
sociation met last night and discussed
plans for the annual display of motor
cars and equipment.
According to the plans outlined last
night, the show will be held from
January 20 until February 4. II had
been the desire OF many members of
the association 10 hold the exhibit in
the Hotel du Pont. but THE plan has
about been abandoned. In view of the
large number of cars to be on view.
II is the expectation OF the associa-
ton 10 dleplay a total Of forty automo-
blles. This is a larger number than
shown last year. when thirty-two cars
were gathered in the lobby and bail
room OF the Hotel du Pont. A. that
time. the capacity Of the hotel was
taxed 10 the limit, and with tho lobby
greatly altered. II is considered i'm
probable that sufficient space could
be found.
The Auditorium. at Eleventh and
Madam streets. was suggested as a
suitable location for the show a com
mlttce was named last night for the
purpose o, looking into the advisable
~ of securing this hall. The committee
will report late this afternoon. II the
report is favorable the work OF prepar-
ing for the show will begin at once.
