2 HOTEL S4JVABBI.B OVER. Tampa Bay Hostelry Revert* to tlie Realty Company. Tampa, Fla., Dec. 12.—Mayor F. A. Salomonson of Tampa, who was sup posed to have purchased the Tampa Bay Hotel, has relinquished all claims to It. and the entire property has re verted to its former owners, the Ocean and Gulf Realty Company, of which Frank Q. Brown is the controlling spirit. . In other words the money which Mr. Salomonson paid to Mr. Brown, when he purchased the property, reported to be SIIO,OOO in cash, has been repaid to Mr. Salomonson, and the latter has surrendered all claims and turned the property back to those from whom he purchased it. Frank Q. Brown, now in charge ot the property, has placed W. D.
