A reward of $1,000 was promised today by Manager Polio of the Mayflower Hotel here to the person who solves the mystery of the headquarters of ex-Congressman MacFadden, who several months ago announced his intention to run for the presidency on an anti-Jewish platform.
Mr. MacFadden, in the literature which he is sending out, gives the Mayflower Hotel as his national headquarters. The management, however, insists that no such headquarters exist in the hotel.
“I would give $1,000 to know who started this,” Mr. Polio stated today to the representative of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. “If they are operating out of here they are doing so as spirits and not in the flesh.”
Mr. Polio added that only six “reply cards” addressed to MacFadden’s campaign headquarters have been received at the hotel in the past two weeks. “We have turned everything we receive over to the Secret Service and the Post Office Department. I have told the Post Office that we will not handle any mail for MacFadden or his headquarters,” Mr. Polio said.
