He speaks liussian. French and Eng
iisn thoroughly. His specialty is au o
mobilrs. He claims to be an excellent
mechanic and has been a racing car
oriver in England. He came to the
United States last October with the I
hope of getting into the diplomatic
service. He finds that he must wait
until he has obtained citizenship j
papers and that he needs about five j
years of additional education—-a rather
difficult proposition for a fellow who
wants to get married and hasn't any
money or any job. . . . !

that might help him. but, as he ex
presses it, “when you ask a friend for a \
*avor vou become a mere acquaintance.
His ‘ boyhood, as he recounted his
story yesterday, was passed in the ut
most luxury afforded by pre-war Eu
rope. His father was a diplomat and
extremely wealthy. The family had a
palace in St. Petersburg, 11 country es- j
tater- in Russia and city houses in
Paris. Nice. Cannes, Florence and;
Munich. They spent much of their
time in traveling from one home to an
other.
Os Royalist Parents.
His mother* was a daughter of Alex
ander li. grandfather of the late Nich
olas. and hts father was a direct de- i
scendan: of Ruric, founder of the
Romanoff family. The father died
when Prince Bariatinsky was 5 years
old.
He was on his way from Prance wi:h
his mother m 1914 when the World
War broke out. They reached the Polish
frontier on the day war was declared
between Germany and Russia, and be
came caught in the congestion of re
turning countrymen hastening to get |
back to protect their native soil.
During the war they moved to one ,
of the country estates of the family in
the Crimea. Here the mother married
Prince Serge Obolensky, who had been
captain of the Czar's bodyguard and ;
later became one of the leaders In the
“white” army.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
revolution they were hounded out of
their retreat m the Crimea by a bolshe- i
vist destroy -t which appeared In the;
harbor and gave the family five minutes
to get out of the house. They escaped
to Vienna and later to Switzerland.
Seven years ago Prince Alexander went
from Switzerland to England where he

a time by organizing a “society infor

I was to guide wealthy Americans about
London.
Came to U. S. for Fortune.
“Then,” he says. “I came to America
to make my fortune." He has fallen
in love—but the fortune has been rather
slow in coming.
Prince Bariatinsky has a high re
gard for Americans, although he has j
I very little use for their political;
| philosophy. j
“But. ’ he says, “I have found that j
I Americans are sincere. That Is not;
s the case with the democracy of France i
and England. The French, particu- j
larly. are not sincere.”
"I am a royalist. I believe in abso-;
lute monarchy. There the responsi- j
bility for the conduct of the state is!
: centered in one man with absolute
autllbrity. But he must look out for j
the interests of his people. Otherwise j
he will not stay on his throne very
long. _
“fake the czars of Russia. I will
admit some of them have been cruel
and have done terrible things. But did
you ever stop to think that Peter the
Great lost his life trying to save an
i other man from drowning in the harbor
of St. Petersburg? Did you ever stop to
think that my grandfather was assasi
nated not because he was a cruel master
; but because he had freed the serfs and
! the people loved him. ard the violent j
opponents of monarchy were afraid of
his popularity? Did you ever stop to
think that Ivan the Terrible —and 1 will
adfhit that he was terrible sometimes—
died saving another man.
“It is curious how many of Russia’s ;
czars have given their lives for their 1
people.”
Cannot Attend School.
‘‘l want to go to school here—but how- j
can I? I have no money. Supposing ;
some school—the Georgetown Foreign
Service School is where I want to go—
should remit my tuition? Still I have
to earn a living for five years. It would
take about $3,000 a year. Besides I wish
to marry. My children will be entitled
to bear tlft tiUe “Serene Highness."
No other family can bear that title. Os
course, aristocracy doesn’t amount to
anything any more.
“I am willing to do anything—but I
must have a salary which will not be an
insult to my intelligence."

Shun Critical Tactics.
' Good and Senator Moses attended the
conference, which was held behind
closed doors in a suite of rooms on
I the seventh floor of the Willard Hotel.
Among others who went into the room
i were Representative Fort of New Jer
j say, newly selected secretary of the Re
! publican national commit tee; Cleve
| land A. Newton, former representative in
Congress Irom Missouri; C. Bascom
Slemp ot Virginia and Senator Edge
of New Jersey.
Gov. Allen announced that the policy t
of the campaign will be to adhere
strictly to constructive pro-Hoover pub
licity. rather than to a type of pub
licity directed at his opponent.
“We are going to tell the world about
the virtues of our nominees, and avoid
leveling attacks at the opposing party
and its leaders." Allen declared. “We
probably will establish publicity bu
* reaus here and in New York and
j Chicago. From these bureaus will be
i sent out information about our cam
paign. Selection of the personnel of |
; these bureaus will be started in about •
I a week."
The Kansan predicted that the Re- i
i publicans would “have no trouble" in
winning the Midwestern States. The
i sentiment out there is “almost unani- !
| mous" for Hoover and Curtis, he de
j clared. In a few sections the people j
1 had been stirred up over the farm ;
i question by certain farm leaders, he
said, but the dissension now has prac
! tically disappeared and there remains
no bitterness. The farmers in the j
West are not wedded to any particular
brand «»f farm relief, he declared, but
, are willing to try any constructive i
j plan. They have the utmost faith in i
the ability of Hoover to solve this prob- j
lem. as he has solved many others,;
Allen stated.
"Don’t Know A1 Smith.”
“A1 Smith won’t do much in the;
West,” he predicted. “The folks out;
1 there haven’t anything in common with j
him. Their principal objection is that j
! they don’t know him and he doesn't j
: know them. He’s never been out there, i
When we think of Smith we think of j
1 Tammany Hall, and to us Tammany j
; Hall Ls a New York form of govern- !
; ment that doesn’t appeal to us at. all."
i Seventy-five per cent of the womui
of Kansas, regardless of party, are for
i Hoover because of his humanitarian
work and his record of constructive
achievements. Allen asserted.

! yesterday afternoon and gave him a *
i few of these “reassuring" opinions. He j
| then went to the Willard and . received
: notice of his appointment.
A similar picture of the situation in
j the Middle West was given the Secre
! tary by Mr New ton. who comes from. l
! St. Louis. Missouri likes Hoover be- I
j cause of his relief services abroad and |
j in the Mississippi Valley and because j
of his efficient record a* a public serv- !

Hoover Retained Here.
Others who made optimistic reports j
; to Hoover yesterday included John T. j
: Adams, former chairman of the Re
publican national committee: Senator
Gillett of Massachusetts, Representa
tive Treadway of Massachusetts, Caleb I
Powers of Kentucky and Col. Charles j
Burton Robbins. Assistant Secretary of !
War. Adams and Col. Robbins d's- j
cussed the lowa situation, it was said !
Because of the great detail of work
; involved in shaping up the campaign j
; organization and laying out plans for }
the future, it appears that Secretary j
Hoover will be forced to remain ill j
Washington longer than he had anti
cipated. He had planned to leave for
his home in Stanford University be
tween July 2 and 5. but this now is
uncertain.
He is to receive hts offi"ial notifica
tion of the nomination at Stanford i
, University about the end of Julv. ac
cording to Chairman Work, although;
Senator Moses has advanced the plan
of deferring the notification until Au- j
; gust 10. Hoover's fifty-fifth birthday j
anniversary. i
The exact date of the notification!
ceremonies for both Hoover and Curtis j
probably will be decided within the
next few days.
