This means that the average at- tendance, free days and pay days altke, has been nearly 1,600 ger- sons, demonstrating that the lo- cal public is markedly appreciative of an opportunity to view out- standing examples of the best that American art has produced in the past 100 vears. These figures do not include the several thousand invited to the special opening view held on the evening of Octo. ber 18. The greatest attendance, 3,420, occurred on Sunday, Octo- ber 75 This commemorative display will remain on view here until Novem- ber 15, following which it will be taken in its entirety to New York City, headquarters of the academy, and after that, in major part at least, it will go on a tour of the country.

Moreover. President Coolidge knows Mr. Nichols person ally, having served in the State Senate with him, and has a very high regard for him. Be of his knowledge of him. the President that the city of Boston during latter's administration will be greatly benefited More than one of the Massachusetts group who frequent the White House said today that while Nichols® election in no sense a Republican victory es no cause for followers of feeling proud. it has a hearing upon the chances of Senator William M.

Election of Frank Bauer as mayor of Lynn, Mass, was pleasing to the President. It was in Lynn that the President set up his Executive office while at Swampscott last Summer, and he frequently saw Mr. Bauer dur- ing his stay on the North Shore. Aside rom his personal interest the election of Mr. Bauer was pleasing because Lynn genemily is looked upon as a strong Democratic city. Makes No Public Comment. The President had no comment to make publicly regarding the outcome of yesterday's elections. If he intends to send anything in the form of con- gratulations to either ichols or Bauer he will, according to one of his associates, send it personally. As for the results in New York. New Jersey and elsewhere, the President withheld his views even to those close to him It was natural for him to have wanted to Republican vie tories wherever possible. Mr. Caol idge is that kind of Republican party man But his intimates say he was not surprised at the tremendous vic. to of Walker in New York City or at the defeat of Whitney for Governor of New Jersey Advices received very recently by the President served to prepare him for these results LONG-TIME NEWS WRITER EXPIRES IN MILWAUKEE Charles Dean, Who for 26 Years Was With Associated Press, Suddenly.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 4.—"The minis- try will carry on.” Thus replied Paul Painleve, the premier. to personswho asked him today what were his fu ture plans The interrogators had in mind ves. opening session of Parlia- ment. when the premier was given a vote of confidence on his reconstruct ed cabinet’s program, but only with the aid of former political enemies nd with 121 deputies refraining from The ballot showed 221 to 189 of the premfer’s plans of confidence gives the a lease of life over the opposition of the Socialists, but in circies the opinfon prevalls that it will not extend over any great ength of time. It is considered in circles that an administration which can count on only 220 out of 580 votes in the chamber hardly « sufficient strength behind it to un imperative legislation which vitally affects every Frenchman. It is asserted that many deputies who voted in favor of confidence are opposed to the program of the premier as outlined in_his declaration before the chamber. The pound sterling was at 120 and the dollar at 24.83 francs. and this fact is considered as having influenced many of the deputies against overthrowing the government and possibly making the financial sit vation worse. M. Cachin, leader of the Communists. during the feature- less debate preceding the vote of con- fidence, gave warning to the govern- ment that it was traversing the wrong road if it was counting upon the next three generations of Frenchmen to liquidate the debt of the “Anglo-Saxon bankers,” amounting to 150,000,000,000 francs.
