TOO MANY WANT
TO SEE GOVERNOR
Has to Decline Invitations to
Make Speeches and Lay
Cornerstones on Tour
So ninny Invitations have been ex
tended to Governor Brumbaugh to
make speeches, address conventions
and meetings, to speak at banquets,
to lay cornerstones and for his pres
ence at other functions on the com
ing "Seeing Pennsylvania" tour that
he has been compelled to refuse
them. The announcement of the route
of the tour *en or twelve days ago
caused numerous .invitations to pour
in on the Governor with the result
that if he had accepted all of them It
was estimated that the tour would
have had to be cut down from 980 to
600 miles. As a result it has been
announced that the Governor will not
accept any Invitations and that if it is
found that attending any of the
functions for which tentative engage
ments have been made will Interfere
with the progress of the tour or delay
the party they will be cancelled and j
the persons in charge notified-
It is expected that automobile clubs |
from practically every city on the tour I
will act as escorts. In addition to j
Pittsburgh. Altoona, Williamsport, j
Scranton and Willces-Barre automo- j
bilists escorting the party word has i
been received that Greensburg, Hunt
ingdon, Bedford. Washington, Allen
town and Easton motor clubs will send
delegations. The Johnstown Automo
bile Club will act as escort into that
city and the Johnstoyn Chamber of
Commerce will give ar luncheon. The
night stops will be Bedford, Pitts

Summit and Philadelphia. with
luncheon stops at Chambersburg.

refer to these annual events and may
make further suggestions. President

thanks to all who helped make the
recent great municipal improvement
celebration a big success. Mr. Gilbert
said to-day:
Advocates Boat Clubs
"It has heen proved what Harris
burg can do in the way of special
events. The Improved riverfront offers
rare advantages for taking care of
thousands of people during water
sports and river carnivals. Harris
burg should have a big river event
every year. What 1 would like to see
at an early date is the organization of
boat clubs and the erection of boat
houses along th<* river.
"This city should have one big asso
ciation to look after an annual re
gatta. The sooner efforts start toward
an organization of this kind the bet
ter. The opportunity Is right here for
a big event on tho river every year.
It should take place on Day. *
"I think the mummers are the right
people to take care of the street
cabaret and annual New Tear's Day
parade. The school children made a
big hit and the people would like to
see a demonstration every year. The
first one might corrte an a boost for the
new high school building.
"There is but one place for a display
of fireworks—along the island. People
ran see everything that goes on from
the rlvA- front. As to the annual re
gatta. there is no bigger inducement
than those river steps and the In
creased park facilities. I would like
to nee them all come next year."
