The session between the Gov- ernor and the Mayor is awaited with interest throughout the country because of the political significance, since Governor Roosevelt is Democratic candid- ¡ate for the Presidency.
If Governor Roosevelt decides to remove Mayor Walker, it will be interpreted by opponents as a to grandstand play designed catch votes throughout the country, whereas if he does not act in the case they are expected to make the most of the chance to say Governor Roosevelt was jafraid to act because of the fear of alienating New York support. Many observers say the case cannot but be embarrassing to the Democratic candidate.
If he removes Walker he will alienate New York if he declines to do so he will court disfavour Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire, in the West, and if he does not:

was adapted from Bram Stoker's famous novel of the same name, deals with human vampires, which ancient superstition describes as horrible "undeed" creatures who rise from their graves at night.
The title role of Count Dracula is played with remarkable effect by Bela Lugosi, who created the Bame part in the stage play, and who delivers an arresting perform- ance as the sinister vampire who is "the central character of the story. Helen Chandler salto- gether charming and capable in the principal feminine part, and David Manners, as her fiancee, does the i type of work which has made him one of the popular leading men.
