Several entered and among them
was Margaret's much adored
friend, Gean. The next four
weeks were long hard ones for
Margaret. she worked night a d

near for the contest and Margaret
longed for a new dress to wear

she overheard the other girls
talking about their dresses and
she thought of her own old gown.
At last the day came for the con.
test, Margaret dressed in an old
white lawn, simple as it was. she
looked very pretty, even Mrs.
Cavanan in spite of her outward
deceit for Margaret, remarked,
"You look very pretty tonight
Margaret" Thank you." said
Margaret with a blush.
AS the line marched in that
night, Margaret felt herself very

WAITING attitude
IN LOCAL MARKET
Rail Executives Action on Sc
niority Question Regarded In
dorsement Of Pennsy's Policy

The sluggish character Of the trad.
indicated strict adherence to the
waiting policy on the part of the local
trading contingent. The market as a
whole retained n strong tone and re-
Elected continued good absorption power.
The dealings. however, lacked both in
itiative and individual feature. as there
was plainly predisposition to await
on the lead Of the big board.
Pennsylvania Railroad remained
about the only active proposition and
was still IN good demand with recovery
of y point of yesterdays reaction to Al.
The stand taken by the railroad execu-
tives regarding the seniority question
was looked upon rs supporting the
policy already adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania management. 1t was, however,
tion of the 9 per cent dividend that
supplied the incentive for the continued
accumulation Of the stock.
Snprlementing the strength Of Penn
sylvania. there was wider inquiry
for the West Jersey and Seashore stock.
which was accepted as foreshadowing
resumption of dividends by that COM
pany, and which in turn would further
swell the income of the PENNSYLVANIA
and making the return of the 9 per cent
dividend that much easier.
In most of the other local stocks the
trading was of pcrfunctory nature
with noticeably thin market either
way for many Of the usually inactive
stocks. American Stores seemed to have
found a fresh sound foundation at
13o. indicating what little profit taking
was hanging over the market was again

MUST WIN OUTSIDE CITY

Presented below is an analysis Of
the vote for Governor in the Demo-
cratic State Convention to be held in
Syracuse on September 2s. based on
present conditions and tendencies.
There will be 1874 votes in the con-
vention, OF which the five counties in
Greater New York will cast 3T9, or
more than half. giving them control.
The upstate counties will cast 355
votes. Because of the acknowledgment
OF William j. Corners, manager for
William Randolph Hearst, that no
candidate can win without the backing
of Charles F. Murphy of Tammany
Hall and his declared belief that Mur-
ply will be with the man who can
show the most delegates upstate at
convention time it is important to see
what the situation upstate Is.
A majority of the upstate vote would
be 179. So far counties which will cast
a total of 1875 votes In the convention are
reported to have passed resolutions in
dorsing the candidacy of former Gov
Alfred E. Smith. This does not include
the twenty-four votes Of Monroe county
because the opposition claimed the meet
ing had been called Illegally after
Smith resolution was passed py the
County Committee Smith supporters
say there is no doubt the delegates Will
be for Smith They also claim at this
time the delegates In counties that VIII
cast thirty-four votes. but which nave
taken no action on Governor. This would
make more than a majority of the up
State vote
Fnvorite Sons.
This includes no claim In Westchester
county, where the county chairman has
come out strongly for Smith. He may.
however, not control all the twenty-five
votes of the county.
Mr.. Conners refuses to indicate In any
way what votes he expects to have for
Hearst in the convention. simply making
bald declaration that the publisher
will have majority.
