FIVE ADDRESSES IN NIGHT FAIL EVEN TO TIRE MA YOR Secretary, Bodyguard and Chauffeur Suffer More as They Whisk His Honor From One End of Town to Other A lot of folks who think they are doing n man n favor when they elect him Mayor should have been along wllh J. Hnmpton Moorc on his whirlwind oratorical swing around ttio city last night. Long after the offices in City Hall were dark, nnd most city officials had shed their municipal cloaks to enjoy the evening in their homes as just plain dad, or uncle, or whatever, Mr. Moore had to keep right on being Mayor. lie spone live t'tnes between n o clock nwny and unction. then Jump on to the next and nitnougn "Happy and midnight Johnson, his bodyguard, was grumbling about long hours nnd the trouble lie would have in explaining things to Mrs. Johnson, the Mayor, when the word was finally given to the chauffeur to drive home, seemed to have more nerv ous energy left than the man who ap pears in the advertisement of a certain well-known breakfast food. All Kinds of Life From a little schoolroom down on Fitzwater street, where the enmara der'e of downtowners linked the Mayor with shining faced grade school gradu ates and their parents, to the gleaming ballrooms of the hotels de luxe, Mr. Moorc went intrepidly through the hec tic gamut. As for his reward, he had the ques tionable pleasure of an interrupted mo tor ride nnd the grrntcr satisfaction of knowing that his audiences, whether vcntillating experts from Chicago or his own political friends, were genu inely glad to see him and henr him, nnd they didn't in the least object to show ing it. The little playlet, entitled "nis Honor's Night Out," in live scenes nnd four hours, begnn when the Mayor's limousine rolled up to the front door of the Natbnnicl Hawthorne School, at Twelfth nnd Fitzwater strtcts. Thirty-eight boys nnd girls the girls in new white chiffon nnd organdie and the boys, some of them in their tirst long-trousered suits were expectantly waiting for thnt part of the program given over to the Mayor. At the long rows of desks in the main assembly room, parents of the boyB and girls who are Veavlng the eighth grade to enter high school, beamed proudly upon their favorite members of the graduating class. Down in the street more than n score of urchins, who hnd no brothers or sisters in the graduating class and who had no entree to the large swinging doors, waited in the cold for a sight of Philadelphia's first citizen. Then 8 o'clock came and an officlnl loeklng limousine was driven up to the door of tho school. As the Mayor step ped to the sidewalk, his juvenile friends set un n cheer, thnt belled their size. The Mayor bowed his thauks for the j unofficial greeting. In his address to the eighth-grade pupils and 'their parents, he drove home a few truths concerning America and tho rewards to be gained by hard work. Feels at Home He was very much at home, in spite of his formnl black clothes, nnd a cruelly stiff shirt nnd high collar. "Ict's see. you're from Third nnd need streets, nrrn't you?" he asked, turning to Miss Anna Campbell, prin cipal of the school. "You're a down towner, too?" "Yes, I'm n downtowner," Miss Campbell replied, "and I'm proud of it." As the Mayor left the school, he noticed that the boys who greeted him on his arrival were still standing in the cold, waiting to catch another glimpse of him. Ho paused n minute before stepping into his car. "I want to thank you bovs for your fine reception," he said, smiling. The boys cheered him until his machine was out of sight. nack in his nlotorcar, the Mayor had no respite. "How about thnt speech Oaffney made this nftcrnoon in Council?" n po litical reporter asked him. The next stop was at the Hotel Lor raine, where members of the East Knd Kepublicnn Club nnd their ladies were giving a testimonial dinner to Ilobcrt J. Pntton. councilman from the Eighth district, one of the stanchest friends of the administration. Members of the club who had worked for the Mayor's election a litt'e more thnn a year ugn were gathered at n family affair. There were many good things to eat, music that intrigued the feet nnd a general good time. Hut the poor Mayor hnd to make u speech right He reassured his friends he had not deviated from his purpose In beating "tho contractor combine." Then be posed with tho 'crowd while photog raphers made a flashlight and was on Ills way again. "Heating and ventilating engineers next," said Duroll Sinister, his secre tary, as the Mayor was bustled Into his overcoat, Joseph A. Steluirclz Introduced the Mayor to members of the American So clcty of Heating nnd Ventilating Kn glneers, In the Hose Garden of the Hellevuc-Htratford. Hy the time the Mayor's turn came to speak, nil the good puns about hot air, warm recep tions nnd so forth had been used. Hut the Mayor came up smiling, qualifying as nn cxnert on hot nlr hv announcing mut he nan served once ns a congressman. He told the 450 strnngers that this city has tho Phila delphia Navy Yard, Falrjnount Tark and a political situation thnt cannot be counted, even In Chicago. Outside, "Happy" Johnson wns be coming restless. "One o'clock last night." he said: "later tonight." To a bellboy, he added, with the air of a true mnn about town, "Oh, well, I'm getting used to It, even if the wife Isn't." Addressed Hardware .Men Speech No. 4 of the evening was de livered in the ballroom of the Bcllevuc Stratford at the thlrty-Qftb annual banquet of the Hardware Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association of Philadelphia. The Mayor received nn ovation when he entered. Later, he was given nn automatic pistol by T. J. Fcrntey, who snld, alluding to the Mayors enemies, "If you can't get 'cm any other way, try this." "I don't need this for my enemies," said tho Mayor, who looked like an unmasked raffles in bis impeccable eve ning clothes, holding the business-like gun. He turned it over to Johnson. The concluding act of the perform ance was a short greeting extended by the Mnyor to members of the Quaker City Motor Club, enjoying their annual banquet and ball at the Walton. There tho Mayor met Mrs. Moore. They seemed glad to see each other, and the Mayor wns grateful for tho pleasure of taking her home. His day, which had begun bright and early yesterday morning, did not ond until enrly this morning, thnnks to the fnt that there Is no Mayors' Union In this city. Incidentally, there arc .137 more days nrd nights In this year, and two moro years thereafter of the Mayor's term. Which is n long, long trail that may tax tho strength of even such n robust personnge ns tl.c Mayor's bodyguard.
