It Is most improbable that In 'denouncing referenda he had any fixed plan of pushing his candidacy. The immediate reaction, looking toward 1928, and the ardor with which the Anti-Saloon Keague embracing him.

Philadelphia, June 1 (P) Philadelphia today assumed the role of host to the world.

With the opening of the Sesquicentenntal, the dream of nearly a decade has come true, and for the next six months a program of events and exhibits has been arranged that is calculated to draw visitor from the four corners of the globe. The gates of the Exposition, marking the 160th anniversary of American freedom, formally were thrown open yesterday, after an Impressive ceremony In the Municipal Stadium. High officials of city, State and Nation participated, and the guests Included representatives of many foreign governments. Speakers were high in their praise of the Exposition, and expressed thanks for the lasting independence and hope for the continued peace and prosperity of America. Many Obstacles Overcome.

Born in the minds of some of the city's leading citizens about 10 years ago, the Sesquli project encountered obstacle after 'obstacle. Some of them appeared Impossible to overcome, and no definite action was taken until last year. Actual work was not started until Jan. 20 last. Today, on the site, which four months ago was a marsh, stand five great exhibition halls, 40 special exhibit houses and nearly 1.000 smaller structures.

Only a few of the buildings are 100 percent com pleted, but many of them, housing exhibits depicting the progress oi manv countries of the world In art, literature, science and Industry for the last 160 years, were ready to receive the millions of visitors expected during the "next six months. Liberty Bell of Electric Light. On a plaza just outside the Expo sition grounds stands a huge reproduction of the Liberty Bell. Towering 80 feet above the sidewalk, the big bell with its 26.000 amber. Ivory and rose-colored lamps, at night spreads its brilliant flood of lights visible for 60 miles.

A steady stream of visitors passed through the 60 entrance gates yesterday, but the turnstiles were not working properly and officials were unable to state the exact number. Estimates ranged between 100,000 and 126,000. Elderly Man First to Pay. Jacob J. Henderson, 80 years old of Woodbury, N.

stood In the ruin for two hours In order to realize a half century's ambition to be the first "paying guest" to enter the grounds. Many others were on hand before Henderson, but the pouring mln dampened their ardor. The Italian Ambassador, Nobllo Olcomo de Martino, who was a guest fit the opening ceremony, informed Sesqui officials that a reproduction of the fountain of sea horses, by Iternlnl, would be presented to tho American people by the Italian Government. He also announced that he would recommend that his Government appoint an official Besqul- ccntennial Commission. I Y.
