SHAW ELECTED CHAIRMAN.

The Republican party in Colorado
chose as it's new leader last Friday
evening George H. Shaw of Fort Col.
Inns, S2-year-old attorney, who for the
last two years has been chairman for
Larimer county. Shaw's election, by
80 to SO votes, over John F. Vivian
Of Golden, tested the strength of the
factions of the party. Shaw, in taking
over the reigns of Craftsmanship, de-
clared that henceforth he would recog-
nize no party factions; Vivian and
his followers announced their loyalty
to the new chairman. The fact that
threatened differences in the party
had been settled before the campaign
is regarded as good augury for Re-
publican success.

Appreciative Audience at

No more enthusiasts and genuinely
appreciative reception has been given
a musician in Wilmington for n long
time than that evoked last night by
Paul kochanski. violinist, who appear
ed On recital at The Playhouse.
Unfortunately the amount did not
correspond 10 the quality, for the
house held but handful OF its ca

that plan of campaign must be work.
ed out on an elaborate scale to make
any impression on the local public;
the forces of social prestige, clan In
flucnce and merchandising methods
must be marshalled in order TO ade-
quately acclaim an artist on an at
traction of musical merit!
Kochanskl is such an artist, az
those who heard him last night realize.
He is in his musical prime. at 33. and
has attained European distinction. but
has not yet been exploited through
"the records" In this country. and IL is
to be hoped FOR the musical enjoyment
of his hearers that he will not suffer
this regimen of repression for some
time 10 come.
With ample technical equipment, his
temperament has a bravura tnge. he
uses n large and vibrant tone, which
enables him 10 control the full range
of tone color, with rich results. The
"Rondo Capriccioso" Of Saint-Saens
was particularly gorgeous in his
hands: the chopin Nocturne theme
vlolinized by Sarasate, and this artists
