BIC NIGHT DISPLAY
TOENDAUT0SHOW
Chairman Jose Lauds At
tendance and Success of
. CIosed-Car Exposition.

What is generally conceded TO be
Washington's most elaborate and in
teresting automobile show. now in
progress at Convention Hall. will
come to a close tonight. The final
curtain will descend at IL o'clock, and
within twenty-four hours motordom's
glittering show palace will have re-
turned to its origip form and again
be nothing more than well known
market place.
But for the unusual arrangement of
the exhibits this year that permits
visitors to move about with greater
comfort, the tremendous crowd pres
ent last evening might have resolved
itself into a highly uncomfortable
jam
Last night was no exception to the
rule of a greater thrQng each sue
ceeding night, and the show manage
ment is confident that the attendance
this evening will far exceed the rec
ord of the best night f:any previous
exposition. '.. "a
Continuance Is Urged.
"The show committee has received
a number of requests that the display
be continued another week. CHAIR
man Rudolph Jose said this morning.
but that lS out OF IHe uueSlioH-
There are many reasons why it can
not be done, but one of the most in
teresting from the dealer standpoint
is that most of the show cars have
been sold and delivery promisel for
Monday.
so. therefore. it behooves those
who have not yet seen the show to
step lively or they are going to miss
a real treat. ] very much doubt that
Wen ever again stage a closed car
show that will at once present so
many new-SeaSon models and so
many new features. A rare combina
tion has done much to make this falls
exhibition a tremendous success"
Mr.. Jose said that it is just possible
that the final closing hour tonight
will be delayed until midnight, and
that an augmented orchestra under
the leadership of Meyer Goldman
would provide an apropos and special
musical program.
