NEW YORK GRL VNG BT Irene Ahlberg Chosen Miss United States at Pageant at Galveston. By the Associated Press. GALVESTON, Tex., June 11.—En- tered as Miss Greater New York and crowned Inited States, Irene Ahl- berg, 18-year-old New York stenogra- pher, will compete tonight with 10 for- eign beauties for the title of Miss Uni- verse at the fourth international pageant of pulchritude. The blue-eyed girl with golden brown curls was selected last night from 34 American beauties to represent the United States in the contest to name the most beautiful girl in_the world. Miss Universe will receive $2,000 of the $5.000 prize money. Eight other awards will be made. Miss Ohio, Dorothy Jean Davis of Massillon, and Miss Massachusetts, Mar- gle Barrett of Springfield, were the last two eliminated in last night's contest After the girls had paraded in evening dress and then in bathing costumes the seven judges went back stage and start- ed the process of el ion. The field was narrowed to three withu 20 min- utes, but it was nearly an hour before Miss Ahlberg was given a 4-to-3 decision over Miss Ohio. Two New Yorkers, Nickolas Muray and Max Herzberg, voted for Miss Ahl- berg, and the two other judges from New York, John Helds, jr., and McClel- land Barclay, voted for the Ohio beauty. Dawson Dawson-Watson of San Antonio and King Vidor of Hollywood cast their lot with the winner, and Rolla Taylor of San Antonio marked a ballot for Miss hio. At least two judges think the en- trants in the present contest have it all over the beauties of last year. They are John Held, jr., and Dawson Dawson- Watson, the only two who acted as judges both years. Held said that the field was 300 per cent better, and Daw- son-Watson was of the opinion that both the domestic and foreign charmers ‘were more charming.
