Crowds aren't so big PHILADELPHIA (AP) -For the past year, officials in Philadelphia made' dire predictions about huge crowds of Bicentennial tourists expected this summer' and the, problems they would cause.

But so far, it's a prophecy that hasn't yet come to pass. The tourists are coming, but in fewer nuAibers than anticipated. "It's kind of ironic, but all those stories about all the people coming may have scared off some of the people we thought were coming," said Alvin Hornstein, director of tourism for the city's convention and tourism bureau. Hobard Cawood, superintendent of Independence National Historic Park agreed. "Our crowds are big, but it's nothing we can't handle.

Actually, we had thought they were going to be bigger, but I think some people may have been scared off." One standard of measurement hotel reservations supports the claim. With the exception of the July 4 weekend, the city's hotels aren't booked full. In fact, said Hornstein, vacancy rates are about 20 to 25 per cent.
