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-'
cts has been surprisingly slack but
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
ly. Mr. Meredith was one of Mc
Adoo's lieutenants at the 1924 na
tional democrat convention.
.Among those who would be ac-
ceDtable to the drys, Mr. Meredith
suggested Newton D. Baker, form
er secretary, OI war; Dtsmxiur
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana; Re
presentative Cordell Hull of Ten

inson of Arkansas.
t Selection of Walsh, he pointed
out, would be loosea upon as prooi
that religion is not and. has not

The mechanism for selecting a
successor to McAdoo for dry pro
gressive leadership was alBO sug
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.
Meredith said prohibition and

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
tionable type might rise on Court
street."
Attorney Keyes in replying to

valued at from $80, 000 to $100,

his stand that special permission

"No, it is not, but when a man
has a chance to sell property, one
can't wait around a month or two

replied.
Rosebraugh called for a record
vote. All councllmen stood in fa

The proposal will be incorpor
