enforcement of the prohibition laws in
other restaurants and hotels had led

The statement that the activities of
the prohibition enforcement agents
were mainly responsible for the closing
of the hotel and converting of 1t into a
business building after the first OF
August, is another step in the con-
troversy which started some time ago
when the Hotel Mems Association Of
New York complained to President
Harding that the restaurants were
flagrantly violating the prohibition
law, and were drawing way the busi-
ness from the hotels. 1t was announced
yesterday that the Claridge has been

at an aggregate rental Of $5,000,0O0.
The Claridge was built in 1912 by
Charles e. Rector and for some time
was known as "Rectors" and was one of
the noted spots along the White Way.
After Mr.. Rector's death company WAS
organized to take over the property as
a hotel and restaurant and another place
known as "Rector's" was opened further

dancing crowd. In his statement issued
yesterday Mr.. Boomer says:

by the non-enforcement to other eating
places. The Claridge as law abiding

the building under such inequitable
conditions would be for commercial
purposes"

restaurateurs TO drop their surface diff
