NEW YORK READY . FOR AUTO SHOW Whrongs Due Wednesday to Be Handled Without Effect on City. B the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 6—Uncle Bam’'s star crowd swallower—New York City—bobbed its Adam’'s apple today in a few practice gulps for an- pther demonstration of its gour- et act. ‘Throngs that might crowd other ' American cities will pour into New ¥ork next Wednesday for the National {Automobile Show. The city will drop them in the Sanyons of a few dozen streets in the hotel-theater district, give them the best of entertainment and go on as if one were there. “In smaller places,” sz official of $he City Convention Bureau said, “an suto show crowd would strangle the eart of the city. “But here the crowds are rarely Been downtown, around Wall Street and the wholesale district—or uptown either. They usually stay between Thirty-third and Fifty-ninth streets, glose to Broadway.” Never Crowded Recently. Not in recent history has New York been crowded by a crowd. Prequently, as during the world series this year, all hotels are reported filled, but this the bureau said is not mecurate. ‘Ten years or 80 ago the motor shows packed the city so tight that late vis- dtors had to go into suburban New Persey and New York to find rooms. ¥n those days all the automobile sales- men came here to place their orders for the year. Times have changed. This season $ienry Ford called 7,000 of his dealers to Dearborn, Mich,, to do their buy- fng. Other motormakers used other methods. Even without the salesmen, how- ever, between 30,000 and 35,000 out of towners are expected to visit the 1936 show. 1t 35,000 attend, and each occupies & hotel room, there will still be at Yeast 10,000 rooms available—enough to hold another convention in addi- tion to the meetings to which New Xork plays host every day. 147,000 Hotel Rooms in City. There are 147,000 hotel rooms in the city, not including apartment and gooming houses. Between 60 and 70 per cent are filled by the average day’s business, leaving between 44,100 and 58,800 rooms available. The biggest convention of business- fmen in New York's history drew only 11,553 persons. It was the American Bankers’ Association meeting of 1922. The bankers used 8256 hotel rooms. Between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000" was | spent, however, in entertaining them. The average person who attends a convention here spends $85 in four | and a half days. Best spenders are school teachers, fraternal groups, small business men, labor unions and sclentists, They stay longer and see re. New York gets fewer conventions, n comparison to its size, than smaller cities, but it always draws the big erowds. The city has 97,551 visitors svery day. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.
