Brier flashes of those incredible extrav- agancrs Udulged by a few of the moneyed New Yorkers frequently are revealed to the eyes of the be-j wilde red man on the street. To me these breath-taking peers at extreme profligacy always seem unreal. There for instance, in a cur-I rent issue of The New Yorker advertisement of a string of pearls, priced at $685,000.

To feed the un-j tired American tourist, an airplane now flies to meet the boat and drops a few brace of grouse aboard.

15. Universal Service. In olden days such a one a.s Michael J. O'Loughlin, radio op-I erator of the sunken Vestris, would have been immortalized in the sagas of the sea. But none will have to write a hymn for him.

His saga is complete already, done by his own hand. Not in tones of thunder, this song of O'Loughlin. but in staccato dots and dashes of the radio, more pre- cious than any golden note. O'Loughlin, a smiling Irish lad of 9. never left the ship.

Sitting, at i the key, useless for several hours I through flooding of the engines which generated power for the set. he stuck to his radio shack and took the plunge with his ship. After the lifeboats had shoved off. shipmates went to O'Loughlin and besought him to make at least an effort to save himself. His refusal was quick and curt.

Bern in Camolin. County Wexford. Ireland, he studied wireless telecraphy at Glasgow. Scotland. He knew the risks of the sea, for he had served on merchant ships in all parts of the world throughout the World War.

Or.cc his vessel was attacked and heavily shelled in the Black Sea. Only recently he had been transferred to the Vestris from the steamer Esscquibo as first operator. He wrote his parents of this transfer from Rio de Janeiro last trip south, expressing the greatest satisfaction with his new ship.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. It begins to look as if New York State will have too many governors or not 1 enough this season. The election on the iirst Tuesday after the first opera night in November resulted in somebody being elected. But nobody knows who it is.

Franklin Roosevelt claims that he is governor and that Albeit Ottinger exhausts the quota. Ottinger insists that he is elected by a scrambled majority, and wants to know who threw the mice in the ballot box. Ottinger insists that they check up the vote again. When he is doing the addition, the Republicans will be triumphant. When Roosevelt starts steering the madding machine it will be a glorious victory for the Democrats.

We don't miriof how many times they check up the vote. What worries us is that they may get so enthusiastic that they will insist on running the campaign all over Of course, they could compromise. Roosevelt could wear the high hat and Ottinger might collect the salary. So far as we are concerned, the election over. As Al Smith said in his valedictory lament: "It be-hoovers me It was the kid's last crack.

There was no doubt that Al was behoo'v- i ed. Tn the meantime, Ottinger refuses to take off his Sunday clothes. He intends to go to Albany and park himself in the high chair. Roosevelt seems to have a majority of 25.000 Democratic votes. Ot-i inger claims can offset that with three healthv Republicans and one election MRS.

Although she hopes for a new trial and will have her attorneys ask for one. Ada Lee Biggs, iiu-year-oia slayer of her stepfather, Bill Simpson, consoles herself with the thought that the verdict of a jury-here yesterday, holding her guilty of murder in the second degree and sentencing her to ten years in prison, might have been worse. She heard the verdict read with- out showing emotion and sajd to two deputy sheriffs who escorted ner back to the jail, where she has been confined since her arrest last July. "I could have gotten lile. coudn't It was the girl's only comment on court, during which the story of her stepfather's continued assaults on her and the account of how she i killed him as he sat in a home-made vapor bath, were repeated over and over.
