NEW WOOD IN PEl'S BALLOTING

Pennsylvania Primary Not Expected to Show a Presidential Preference. By J. BAST CA1EPBEI.I.. . STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. May 17. Untie rca lirht on the state's ultimate policy lean 1"! incs at either Chi capo or S.in France or in the campaign! to follow. is expo to be shed by tomorrows unusual proeiential pref ?rnc primary in Pennsylvania. On the ballot the name of only one Republican presidential candidate, will appear that of Edward Randolph Wood, an eccentrio octogenarian of Philadelphia, who invariably adds to the gayety of Pennsylvania politics as a perennial "Whits House aspirant. The names of Senator Knox. endorsed by Senator Penrose; Gov. Sproul, backed by a large personal folloiwng; and of ;cn. Wood, supported by former service and Roosevelt men, will not be printed on it. None of them took the trouble formally to declare himself a presidential candidal by filing' a ronnnation petition in compliance with the state primary law. It will, therefore, be up to th" supporters of each to "write in" the name en the ballot. T.'ie same opportunity is nfiorded the supporters of other Ipu".ilican aspirants. Gen. Wood's backers express concern lest a large number of voters who favor him nark the name of Edward Randolph Wood by mistake. As the seventy-six delegates to be chosen to the Chicago convention are regarded as certain to follow- the behest of the Penrose and other Pennsylvania machine leaders, it is not believed the I Republican rank and file of the state will incur the risk of writers cramp to any great extent by indicating a presidential preference. Just now reports from Pennsylvania indicate a rapid Increase in Knox sentiment among1 both the Penrose and antiPenrose foliowers. although Sproul continues to be formidable figure as a "favorite son" because of his wide-spread popularity. Atty. Gen. Palmer is the only Democratic candidate for president to appear on the Pennsylvania, billot. Hi5 undisputed command of the .Democratic orjjinization will, his opponent? concede, give him not less than sixty of the seventysix delegates to' San Francisco. His friends claim be will have as li'gh as sevent y.

TACKLES TWO-DAY JOB Frank K. Mart Co., has the bigg the job of selling in. of Woods. Martin & rest job in town. It is a million dollars worth of L"nited States government houses and lots during a two-days' sale. Martin was asked to make a statement covering the many questions that have arisen in the minds of the general rublie regarding this sale. To a reporter of Thk Times today lie said: e!!iiig 113 houses and lots is no different than selling anything else. First you ge-t the property to sell. "The next is to be sure of your market. Kven a casual survey of the market for improved property in Hammond was sufficient to iudicat" tint the demand is for homes, a roof to cover one's head. With the prices for materials and labor soaring, with building operations practically fuspendol, it was a safe proposition that the housing demand in Hammond aws never greater. "Then the question was one of price and terms. The. fact that tiie houses were built when material was much h caper and the members of the building trades vvre getting $l.no an hour instead of ?1.20, the sea!.; today, means that the houses were built at a much lower cost than they could be produced to, lay. "In addition to that, the government is willing to lose $:;39,f0C otj the Hammond project in order to make its proposition so attractive that it will be sold out in a very few days. "As to terms, ten per cent down and one per cent of the balance a month places the houses within the reach of the small investor, the; worki;igma.n and the tenants. To other mves'ors the many apartment houses, flats and eiuplex houses afford an opportunity to rent buildings at a splendid martrm of profit. Three hundred to $0110 wiil buy most of the houses in the project. Interest six per ce nf." The selling representative wishes to make the fact clear that no .vales wiil be made to others than tenants before 3 A. M., Saturday, May 22. All of the houses have seven foot concrete foundation walls, all street assessments are paid for in full nnd the government will give warranty de.-rls for the lots and buildings o;i them.
