Miss Nora Brewer,
Whose Wedding;ls
Again Postponed
SMART SET DUBS
CUPID A LAGGARD
Cudahy=Brewer Nuptials Now
Slated for April, Upset-
Fall Calendar
Latest reports state that the mar
riage of Miss Nora Brewer and Edward
Cudahy of Chicago has again been
postponed and will take place in April,
with St. Matthew's Catholic church \in
San Mateo as a background, Miss Amy
Brewer as" maid of. honor and six or
eight bridesmaids in attendance.. This
latest rumor . has started speculation
and comment afresh, as;. the news that
the wedding was to have been an event
of October had been sent broadcast \u0084
Cudahy'has regained his health abs<3-*'
lutely, friends of the; young couple as
sert, so the. new postponement' of the
ceremony seems inexplicable,. especially,
as the interested parties themselves^
smiling and happy, arc continually seen
in each other's company, walking or
riding, and have been away all summer
on various automobile trips, chaperoned
by Cudahy's sister, Mrs. Jack Casserley.
Meanwhile, Miss Brewer As the motif
for much of the quieter entertainment
,down the peninsula, and she is also
putting in a most strenuous athletic
career and setting a new pace for emu
lation in San Mateo, Burlingame and
Hillsboro. v ' -
Since her return from her recent
automobile trip to Del Monte her daily
program has. consisted of a horseback
ride before: breakfast, a' swim in> the
surf off Coyote point, a game pr two of
stiff tennis, 18;.. holes of / golf , on- the
Country club links, and. usually a drive
or automobile ride. Then, with a fluffy
gown in place of skirt and sweater,, tea
on the veranda is usually followed by
a formal dinner party at night. And
between , these diversions the bride elect
sometimes even sandwiches in a walk
to Beresford a;id back,, or up'into-the
Howard canyon in search of greens.

They sold their ranch and got as far;
as Oakland. Living for a short time,
in Berkeley they, removed to the Metro-,!
pole hotel, then, to an apartment house.]
at 1207 Grove street. Since coming here*!
the couple cast aside their plan- of go-^|
ing to Ohio and in meantime spent theirv!
money. Rheinstrom has for two weeks

NEW YORK, Sept 21.— 01 d guard
leaders who are fighting for con
trol of the republican state con
vention at Saratoga next week were
admittedly surprised today when news
reached them that the supporters off/
Colonel Roosevelt had carried the
Schenectady county republican con
vention and had instructed its dele
gates* to the state convention to sup
port Roosevelt for temporary chair
man and to favor direct primaries.
Schenectady and Albany counties
comprise the twenty-third congres
sional district, which is represented
on the republican committee by Wil
liam Barnes Jr., one of the' most ag
gressive of the "old guard" leaders and
hitherto regarded as invincible.
Progressives Surprised
. defeat at the primaries
of Vice President Sherman, the "old
...
guard" candidate for temporary chair
man of the state convention, in his
home district in Oneida county was not
altogether unexpected, but the loss of
Schenectady county today was a sur
prise to the progressives here.
"It is an Interesting straw showing
which way the sentiment in New York
state is going," said Uoyd C. Griscom.
leader of the Roosevelt forces, today.
"So far as the forces of the old guard
are concerned, it is a greater blow even
than the loss of Vice President Sher
man's home district yesterday, because
it is a part of Mr. Barnes' congressional
district, territory which was regarded
as impregnable.
"1 look for Colonel Roosevelt's elec
tion as temporary chairman by a sub*
stantial majority." \u25a0»
Woodruff Hopeful
Timothy I* Woodruff, chairman *of
the republican state committee, ex
pressed surprise at the action of th*
Schenectady convention. _ *
"Taking " Mr. Barnes* figures as a
basis, I still believe Vie© President
Sherman will be elected to the tem
porary chairmanship by at least 15 or
20 majority." said Woodruff.
-Estimates of the . "old guard" made
today before the Schenectady returns
gave Sherman 541 of the 1.015 dele
gates. After the returns the progres
sives went over the list and figured out
that Colonel Roosevelt .would have 5J9
votes in the convention to ..4SS for
Sherman.
;? The;contest has now sharpened to} a
point. where, a few delegates will hold
the.balariceof power, and the efforts to
swing into line some of the counties
still .doubtful will continue until the
roll" is called In convention.
