spread through the city that Gen.

Singing Drowned Out.
When Gov. Stevenson conceded
in a speech to his loyal followers
in Springfield, the word spread
through the New York ballroom
that the general soon would ap-
pear.
Fred Waring. the orchestra
leader, took the platform and
tried to rehearse the crowd in a
series of songs to sing when he
arrived. But the familiar chant
of I'VE want Ike" 6egan and in
creased to such a volume that itI
drowned out the singing.
When Gen. Eisenhower ap-I
peared in the doorway a mighty
roar went up, accompanied by
showers Of torn paper.
The general read the telegram
he had Just received from Gov.
Stevenson, together with his re-
ply. He was obviously tired from
the long campaign and, after a
few words of thanks, he said good
night.

Eisenhower supporters also were
beginning to tire and drift home

It-was nearly 10 pm. when Gen.
and Mrs. Eisenhower drove down
to the Commodore to receive the
final returns, surrounded by the
loyal men and women who per-
suatled him to leave his European
command and come home to make
the race.
General Was Still Cautious.
Before the general left Morning
side drive the early returns al
ready had indicated the Republi-
cans were on the verge of victory.
But the general was still eau
tious. AS he stepped from his
automobile at the hotel reporters
asked. How does it look, Gen.
eral?"
Il have seen only scattered re-
turns. I'm coming down now to
find out"
The general looked fresh and
happy, despite the strenuous cam

election morning. He wore a din
ner suit with black tie, and a.
dark blue overcoat with a black
velvet collar.
Mrs. Eisenhower looked radiant
in a black lace dress and white
fur cape. She carried a small
cluster of yellow flowers. Her
mother was with them.
Crowd Breaks Into Cheers.
AS they entered side door of
the hotel, which led into a meZ-
canine balcony, the crowd in the
lobby below spotted them and
broke into lusty cheers. In a few
seconds they switched to the IA
miliar chant, eve Want Ike"
A few minutes before the Eisen-
howers arrived another limousine
drew up and out stepped Gov
