The Washington times., 1924-07-02

When the Davis vote started to
pile up, the Garden was immediately
surrounded by a crowd Of hotel mon
who wanted to be on hand in case
the convention suddenly finished its
work.
All the railroad stations are being
watched, too. The only way dele
gate can escape paying his hotel bill
IS to jump in the Hudson river, No,
there IL still another way. He can
jump in the East river.
The hotel mems association win
have both rivers dragged after the
convention to salvage badges aud
banquet spoons.
