Prospects that it will take a last

"gate-, discussion of a mysterious
group" of five candidates for the
aJl-important post of referee and
episodes In the "open letter" cam
paign launched under Jack Demp
sey's signature were chief topics of
interest today in the "ballyhoo"
for' the Dempsey-Tunney heavy
weight title battle Thursday.
While observers discussed the
possible stimulation to lagging
ticket sales of the "open letter"
affair, involving peinpsey's quer
ies to Tunney about' events leading
up to their 1926 battle at Phila
delphia, Tex Rickard admitted it
would, take a big rush of busi
ness to reach the $1,000,000 mark
let alone the "peak, possibility of
$3,200,000.

"I do not expect a sell-out."!
Rickard said. "None of the big'
icavy weight fights ever have been. J
The sale of the lower nrlced tick-'

my box office men say It picked up

need to dispose of around 30,000

"Gate" to be Small
It is the general impression that
the "gate" is not likely to exceed
$2,500,000. with the total atten
dance closer to ISO, 000 than the
actual capacity of slightly more
than 170,000. These figures, how
ever,, would make the battle a
record-smasher for a sporting
event anywhere. .

that the advantage shortly would
appear if the dry democrats con
centrate on a new leader prompt

Adoo's lieutenants at the 1924 na

.Among those who would be ac-

suggested Newton D. Baker, form

Thomas J. Walsh of Montana; Re

t Selection of Walsh, he pointed
out, would be loosea upon as prooi

The mechanism for selecting a
successor to McAdoo for dry pro

gested by Meredith. He sam a
conference should be called, soon
and the leader chosen by the dry
progressives thus assembled. He
will not issue such a call nimseu.

Sees Future Trouble
The Alderman conceded that
the present owners might not
erect a structure ill in keeping
with the buildings in the civic
center, but when control passed
from, their hands, he saw a great
danger that buildings of an objec

"No, it is not, but when a man

Rosebraugh called for a record

The proposal will be incorpor
