NEW YORK, July 12.—A bet of
$500 even money was reported yes-
terday on the proposition that there
will be a third party in the Presi-

ed at odds of 5 to 9.
Harding was still being quoted at
2 to 1 by betters in the financial
district. A large amount of money
is available to be placed on the Sen-
ator at that price but Governor
Cox’s supporters want longer odds.
A wager of $1,000 against $1,400 is
said to have been placed that Cox
will carry his native state. Bets of
$500 against $700 that Harding will
carry New York State and $600
against $500 that he will carry
Illinois.

that Henry Ford will be elected
