Ends Strenuous Round
of Entertainments for
Admiral in New York
Sees Wife Start for Home
British First Sea Lord
to Abandon Havana Trip
for Visit to California
Strenuous as is the life of a First
; Sea Lord in war times, it is doubtful
If Viscount Jellicoe of Scapa ever put
in a busier day in his office at the Ad?
miralty than he tucked away yester?
day in Manhattan. The hero of Jut?
land was around and about in Charles
M?. Schwab's Rivertide Drive home with
the dawn, and it was after midnight
before he and Mr. Schwab left the Uni?
versity Club, where the admiral was
the guest of honor at a dinner given
by the club.
This was his final New York-func?
tion. To-day he leaves for Washington,
whence..after several semi-official and
private appearances, he will leave, it
is understood, for California.
Lady Jellicoe Starts Home
Lady Jellicoe, who was detained in
Ottawa by a slight illness, arrived in
New York yesterday morning on the
Montreal Express. It was to meet this
train, which gets into Grand Central at
7:30, that Viscount Jellicoe was aroused
early. From the station the party
returned to the Schwab home for
breakfast.
At noon, accompanied by a group of
New York friends, they drove to the
White Star pier, where Lady Jellicoe
boarded the Adriatic for her return to
England. The party stayed en board
until it was nearly time for the' liner
to leave". After the farewells had been
said Viscount Jellicoe returned to
shore and went to the New York Yacht
Club, where he inspected the club?
house and warmly praised its facilities.
From the yacht club he went to keep a
tea engagement at the home of Mrs.
Cornelius Vandcrbilt. From the Van
derbilt function the party returned to
the Schwab home and went from there
to the University Club for dinner.
Would See California
Viscount Jellicoe leaves this morning
at 9 o'clock for Washington. While in
the capital he will be entertained by
the British Embassy and will be the
guest at a dinner given to-morrow
evening by Secretary of the Navy Dan?
iels. He will also attend the charity
ball at the Willard for the benefit of
the Episcopal Home for Children.
It was originally announced that the
Admiral would go from Washington to
Havana, where he would be met by
H. M. S. New Zealand, to continue bis
trip to Australia. LaBt night, however,
the statement was made that Viscount
Jellicoe intended to go from Washing?
ton to the Pacific Coast, he having a
strong desire to visit California. The
New Zealand, it is understood, will
meet Viscount Jellicoe at ?San Fran?
cisco.

Electric Men to Discuss
N. Y. Traction Problems
700 Representatives of City and
Suburbiin Lines to Meet
in Qevehmd
The traction situation in Manhattan
and Brooklyn will be one of the ?chief
topics of discussion at the ninth an?
nual midyear meeting of the American
Electric Association, to be held in
Cleveland this week. In view of the
critical condition of the industry, more
than seven hundred representatives of
the leading street and interurban rail?
ways of the country will attend the
convention on Thursday.
United States Senator Warren G.
Harding, of Ohio, candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination,
wifl bo one of the chief speakers. He
will be followed by the foremost trac?
tion exparts of the country, who will
set forth their views on the causes
of the difficulties which beset the in?
dustry.
"These causes," said H. Hobart Por?
ter, vice-president and general mana?
ger of the Brooklyn City Railroad,
"are common to this and other cities.
They must be found in the dislocation
of induttw due to the war, abnormal
increase V wages and tne advancing
costs of all materials, including coal;
the heavy burden of direot taxation,
as well as indirect taxation costs, such
as paving assessments, etc; the ne?
cessity of giving longer rides and more
transfers without additional compensa?
tion, the operation of non-paying ex?
tensions, the providing of improved
facilities, coupled in many instances
with decreased riding, due both to
jitneys and private competition."
The Brooklyn City Railroad Com
?any will be represented at the Cleve
and meeting by Clinton E. Morgan,
assistant general manager, and James
T. Grady, director ox publicity.
Swann to See Enright
Tod-ay on Police Scandal
Commissioner Is Silent on Es?
cape of Wealthy Man
Acwised by Girl
Some time to-day District Attorney
Swann again will confer with Police
Commissioner Enright concerning the
scandal growing out of the disappear?
ance of a wealthy' merchant against
whom the mother of a young girl made
a formal complaint.
The District Attorney is endeavoring
to learn whether two former police of?
ficials "tipped off" the man against
whom the complaint was made, permit?
ting him to escape while two police?
women awaited his appearance in an
outer office of his place of business.
The Police Commissioner continued
to refuse all information on the subject
yesterday. So did every other member
of the department, most of whom were
said to have been told by the Commis?
sioner to keep still on the subject.
John C. Hackett, secretary to Com?
missioner Enright, who resigned early
this week, was said to have been out
of the city yesterday. He has not been
available to inquirers at his home, the
Hotel Wellington, since his resignation.
Meanwhile, there was another switch
of police secretaries during the day
which may be given added significance
during the inquiry being made by the
District Attorney. Charles W. Hunt,
vice-president of the State Civil Ser?
vice Forum, quit as secretary to Sec?
ond Deputy Commissioner Lahey to be?
come secretary to Third Commissioner
Augustus Drum Porter . George Mc
Nulty, who was secretary to Deputy
Commissioner Porter, vacated that po?
sition to assume the one formerly cc
cupied by Hunt.
