Show STATESMEN TAKE IN CONEY ISLAND SIGHTS By International News Sendee. NEW YORK. July 5. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, a visitor of sartorial splendor that startled even blase Surf avenue, ave-nue, and a party of statesmen headed by (Democratic Leader Oscar W. Underwood, "did" Coney Island today as it has seldom sel-dom been "done" before. From the "clam chowder parlors' and the music halls to the gilded splendors of "Steeplechase" and "Luna," they f rollicked rol-licked like a lot of schoolboys. "Nljrger dodgers'' and rifle ranges, coal mines and wild west shows everything had its share of attention, and Congressmen Daniel J. Griffin and John J. Fitzgerald of King-s county, who were hosts to the party, were ready to cry quits long; before be-fore "Jim Ham" was ready to remove his pink whiskers' and his John Drew habil-ments habil-ments from the range of languishing feminine fem-inine eyes. "Pine; nothing like it anywhere-7-ex-cept Chicago," exclaimed Lewis after his first glimpse of the place. "Wish we had this In Washington. We're long on statesmen states-men there, but short on amusements." |
