GinsoId Makes Bow
As Symphony SoIoist
BY CHARLES GENTRY

Symphony represents an amazing
product Of a 17-year-old prodigy
we can't understand why Mr..
KrusgeF chose il for the major
work OF the evening.
The second movement with its
mournful oboe solo 10 a piZzlcato
background, is extremely effective
and is the one redeeming portion
of the symphony. But even this
is tedious and extremely repeu-
tiouS as is the rest OF the work,
which includes some adolescent
Beethoven and rather weak
Mozart in the first movement and
some immature Bizct 10 close
with.
As musical novelty it is
worth hearing once.
For a finale. Kruger and the
orchestra staged one of those
startling climaXes with the
TSchaikowSky symphonic poe m,
Francesca da Rimini," in which
the strings, horns. woodwindS and
choirS all tried TO
outdo one another in really eX-
citing contest.

Hurley Seeks N ominution

Boston, March 31.-(UP)-State Treasurer Francis x. Hurley has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Massachusetts.
 First aSpirant to enter the race, the 40-year-old Hurley emphasized last night that he would make no formal campaign mo matter what other candidates may oppose me for the nomination.
 Hurley said he was convinced that whoever is governor during the crucial war years should be the untrammeled choice of his party"
 Former It. Gov. Francis E. Kelly has hinted that he might run again as Democratic candidate for gover- nor, but he made no formal an- nouncement.
 A Harvard claSsmate of former Gov. Charles Poletti of New York and of Maj. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Hurley has served the state since 1881 when he was elected state auditor at the age of 27.
 Hurley is close friend of former Gov. Joseph B. Ely, anti-New Dealer and fourth term foe.
 If nominated, Hurley in the No- vember election probably would be opposed by It. Gov. Horace T.. Cahill, the only announced Repub- hcan candidate to succeed Gov. Leverett Saltonstall (R), who will seek election to the U. s. senate.
