We report the first measurement of the vector analyzing power in inclusive
transversely polarized elastic electron-proton scattering at Q^2 = 0.1
(GeV/c)^2 and large scattering angles. This quantity should vanish in the
single virtual photon exchange, plane wave impulse approximation for this
reaction, and can therefore provide information on double photon exchange
amplitudes for electromagnetic interactions with hadronic systems. We find a
non-zero value of A=-15.4+/-5.4 ppm. No calculations of this observable for
nuclei other than spin 0 have been carried out in these kinematics, and the
calculation using the spin orbit interaction from a charged point nucleus of
spin 0 cannot describe these data.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
