Counsel representing the hotel proprietors denied that wireless was only used on race days. He claimed that if the sets were not to be used in the hotels for receiving race results, the proper authorities should put a stop to' the broadcasting of races. The chairman of the committee said the practice of encouraging bar trade by the use of wireless on race days would have to stop.
