New York Lodge Officers Installed at Queens Borough Home

The installation of the 1934-35 officers of New York, N. Y., Lodge, No. 1, was unique in that it was performed with befitting ceremony in the Home of Queens Borough, N. Y., Lodge, No. 878. A great many Elks of the metropolitan area attended. The affair was presided over by D.D. Thomas F. Cuite of Brooklyn, N. Y., Lodge, No. 22.

New York Lodge is fortunate in having as its Exalted Ruler for the coming year Ferdinand Pecora, Counsel for the United States Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. Mr. Pecora has won world wide recognition for his diligence in Washington and New York. All the other officers of No. 1 Lodge are outstanding members of the bar, of the bench and of mercantile, banking and professional circles.

Addresses were made at the installation ceremonies by many prominent members of the Order, among them being Past Grand Exalted Ruler Murray Hulbert, Grand Trustee James T. Hallinan, Secretary William T. Phillips of New York Lodge, Exalted Ruler Harry Wolff of Brooklyn Lodge, and Mr. Pecora.
