TWO SIGN PLEDGE; TWO HOLDING BACK Simon and McDonell Will Sup port Whomsoever Repub licans Nominate. RUSHLIGHT NOT FAVORABLE republican Club's Compact Reveals Possibility of Several Candidates Being In Final Contest for Mayoralty. Efforts by the Republican Club to get the four candidates for the Mayor alty nomination to pledge themselves to support the successful nominee have not proved a'huge success.' Simon and McDonell have signed the pledge, but Rushlight and Bailey, last night, hud not committed themselves, by subscribing to the agreement. Bailey assured some of his friends that he did not Intend to sign this or any other pledge in advance of the primary election. Rushlight explained that he did not receive a copy of the pledge until last night and before reaching a decision as to what his course would be, said he desired to take the matter under consideration. He Intimated, however that he would give the agree ment the go-by. The probable refusal of Bailey and Rushlight formally to agree to support the choice of the primaries. It Is be lieved, will tend only further to com plicate the situation and make possible a re-enactment of the municipal cam paign of two years ago. with probably one exception. The exception will be that Instead of a two-handed contest In the Juno election there is likely to be at least three and possibly four, candidates for tho Mayoralty. Senator Dan Kellaher, last night. re Iterated the original announcement of his proposed Independent candidacy and said that regardless of who would be nominated by the Republicans in the primary election, he would go into the contest as an independent in the June election. Realising that Simon may receive the nomination. the anti-assembly forces already are looking for a man to bring out in opposition to the ex Senator. Suspecting that Kellaher is not keeping flath with his alleged compact with Rushlight, since some of Kellaher'a friends are knowri to be supporting McDonell. a considerable ?h.?Win? f R"al!ght has declared that before they win K either to Kellaher or to the Democratic nomi nee they will bring out another man. On the other hand, these same sup F,nrHrK0f. Hhlight say they are sal aried that If their candidate wins out In the primaries, the assembly forces. While professing good faith and a rhnl!.nne, V ablde the primary Choice, will introduce an Independent in the race. Final Contest May Be Complex. With such a complex situation and It. possibilities. It can be Seen where there Is a chance of two and possibly three candidates from among the Re publicans In the final contest in June.

NEWS OF THE THEATERS Miss Elvyn's Debut. A little over five years ago. the date was March 5, 1902. to be exact-the late Carl VVolfsohn introduced to the Chicago pub lic one of his pupils, who he felt waa the possessor of uncommon talent as a pianist. The recital given that evening In Music Hall proved conclusively that his estimate was in all respects an ac curate one. and the prediction then was made that if the gifted girl continued as she had begun she in time would make a place for herself high among the women pianists of the world. Shortly after this recital the young etu lent to Germany and. with Mr. Wolfsohn's sanction, placed herself in the hands of Leopold Godowsky for fur ther study and fuller development of her powers. A couple of years ago reports of the success achieved by Miss Myrtle Elvyn. the young Chicago Pianist in question, began to float Amerleawards and it was not long until accounts of her appearances in many of the principal concerts of Germany, Holland and Scan dinavia were received, and the accounts Invariably were favorable. Miss Elvyn now has returned to her homeland, and last evening in Orchestra Hall accomplished her American debut as a professional pianist. She had the assistance of the complete Thomas or chestra, with Mr. Stock at the director's desk, and was listened to and applauded to the echo by the audience. . The evening was one of pleasure and gratification and it was as was the one five years before, rich in proimse ot beautiful future for Miss Elvyn Chi cago Tribune.
