A fight ensued In which the administration .wae divided. At the last minute Bpeer 1 a- 80 as entered the market and bid In the bonds at 4 per cent, much to the delight of the mayor and his supporters. Since the award of the contract A peer Sons have Indulged in a policy of delay such as would Indicate their unwillingness to consummate the deal. While there has been no definite re fusal from the Chicago house, certain expressions in their correspondence Inti mate their Intention to- call off tha deal. What was considered a particularly bad omen was the arrival of a representative . fiom one of the rival bond houses yester day. The new bond buyer, Mr, Eastman, represents Ppltser Co. of Toledo, O. It Is expected that In the event the Chi cago house withdraws from the deal a new sale wlU be sffected at i per cent rate. It ark Stork Rreelred.
