CHICAGO, June B—l’re-conven
tion workers artfund the Coliseum
shivered under the cool Lake Michi
gan breezes. When they heard the
weather forecast was “cooler’’ they
demanded heat.
“Don’t need it,” said Charles R.

air heating system, G. 0. P. patent

L. W. Henly and Walter J. Mala
testa are the most unpopular persons
in Chicago. The former is secretary
of the arrangements committee and
the latter is secretary of the Chicago
convention committee.
They were nearly mobbed when
ticket distribution took place. Mala
testa had the worst time trying to
divide 2,658 tickets —Chicago’s al
lotment for those who contributed
the money for staging the big show
—among 150,000 applicants.
“I got 73,000 checks from people
who wanted to buy tickets,” said
Malatesta. “It hurt like the dickens
to return all that cash.”
