He was both hungry and disguised,
as with the stealth of a burglar he
entered the house that night, and he
was shivering with cold in the dark
front office when at last he heard
hesitating steps on the pavement and
key cautiously inserted in the front
door. He waited until the door had
opened and closed again. Then he
spoke very quietly.
Katie, come in here, please
She did not move. She stood where
she was, a small dark shadow with
a whitish botch above it which was
her face. Then she made a quick
move toward the door again, and he
reached her just in time to prevent
her escape. He caught her by the
arm and ierked her into the room,
closing the door after her and turning
on the light switch.
"You silly little fool" he said fur

been? And what I got you out off,"
In his raw anger he shook her.
"What business is it of mine to hunt
the dives of this town for you? I've

He looked at her Her face was
swollen with crying, her eyes terri

her arm and took turn around the
room.

after you, and I've tried to do it. But

the various groups of hotels as we

location. New York is such an i'm.
mense place that there is no one
section that can be designated as
the hotel center. We have at least
seven sections of the city where
hotels abound, each section having
its special appeal. These are the
East Side, Times Square, Upper
Broadway, Grand Central Station,
Pennsylvania Station, Gramercy
Park and Greenwich Village.
Speaking Of price ranges, suit.
able hotels will offer minimum
rates starting at $500 single and
at $500 to $3.50 double for rooms
without bath; and from $3.50 single
and around $3.50 double with bath
Bear in mind that the hotels offer.

the older hostelries. All modern
hotels are built with a bath for
each room or suite of two rooms.
And. OF course. there is a wide

ming much smaller in size. The
Times Square district is all hustle
and noise. Here on the streets is
humanity in masses found nowhere
else in the world. The Upper
Broadway hotels are above 59th
Street on the West Side. They were
originally built as apartment hotels
for permanent guests and but few
of them can be ranked as modern.
There are exceptions, Of course.
This district lays claim to being
quiet. From here Times Square
theatres, etc. can be reached by
subway and Fifth Avenue shops by
bus. The Grand Central and the
Pennsylvania Stations sections
have a number of fine hotels,
patronized heavily by those coming
on business trips. We rate them
high as commercial hotels. But We
do not recommend them when
someone writes in for a nice quiet
hotel" They are amongst the great
convention hotels.
Then we have our Gramercy
and Greenwich Village sections, the
furthest downtown and hence not
near the amusement and restaurant
and night club area. except, of
course the Village spots. These
sections are very nice and quiet
and reflect much OF the old New
York atmosphere. Some famous old
places are here; and some fine
modern ones, too.

loathe to battle them and avoided
them altogether yesterday.
At the end of the first week of the
offensive to decide the fate of the
Mediterranean, however, neither
side apparently was ready4t to throw
its main armored forces into the
struggle-neither the British to ex-
plot their gains nor the Germans
to plug the menacing gaps in their
lines.
Infantry Emphasized.
Infantry was emphasized in a
British communique which dealt
mostly with the damaging blows on
the Axis from the air and reported
the land action in these four SEN

A further number of German pris-

There were minor engagements

Although the British noted a
slight increase in enemy air &C

destroyed in combat, the Americans
said they again encountered a
reluctance by the Germans to meet
them in air battle.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Thomas
E. Dewey will be the next Cover
nor of New York.
It would take a political up
heaval Of major proportions
within the next four days to
bring about the defeat of the
fast-fying Republican candidate
and none is in sight. His op-
position is badly split and in
some districts badly disorganized.
These are the views not only of
Republicans, but of more neutral
observers and even of Demo-
cratic leaders when they take
their back hair down and talk
turkey.
John J. Bennett, jr., the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, backed
by Democratic State Chairman
James A. Farley, has made valiant
fight but the odds seem too great
for him to overcome. President
Roosevelt's three Endorsements of
Mr.. Bennett-the last contained in
a letter to Sidney Hillman-have
come too late.
While they have had the effect of
bringing some votes to Mr.. Bennett,
they have also had the effect of
driving from him Republican voters
who were willing to go along with
Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Farley, but
not with the New Deal administra-
ton In this political matter.
Two Major Factors.

their goose when they permitted the
