...decreasing spirals you pursue them. Perhaps an accident of planning has left you an escape route, and you break out, breathless, into the welcome air of some more coal yards. But do not count on your escape. For eventually you must arrive at that squalid square where all the one-way signs point inward. It is a large area, teeming with unshaven men who will approach you and offer you fifty dollars spot cash for your car and throw in a train ticket to Boston; a square where cars go to die. Sell your car there, and be glad...

Manhattan Delegate Richard Neville said he will vote for Taft, and in Queens, Delegate Frank C. Kenna, county Republican chairman, indicated he was leaning Taftward. In Brooklyn, veteran G.O.P.
