JouRN IN MAINE

which, IL the fates. In the shape Of plurality
vote. so decree, he will In short while be
called upon to preside as Mayor Continuing
the journey from Northeast Harbor. which he
began at . o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. he
left Boston yesterday morning at 10 o'clock by
the limited express. and arrived at the Grand
Central Station at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Save for a group Of newspaper men. there were
not half dozen people on the platform when
the Boston express came The fact that no
delegation of the Citizens Union was on hand
to meet Mr.. Low in accordance with his
previously expreJse'; wishes
Mr. Low. accompanied by his wife and
young woman who was understood to be rela-
tive Of Mrs Low. travelled In an ordinary par
lor-car. The party did not aght for some three
or four minutes after all the other passengers
had left the train. For a brief period II was
thought that. despite the dispatches from Bos-
ton. his departure from that place had been
delayed. Soon, however, Mr.. Low was seen to
step from the third car OF the train. and after
assisting his wife to the platform. he turned to
shake hands with W. H. Beebe. his private sec.
retary. He walked the length OF the platform
to the station entrance between Mrs Low and
Mr.. Beebe, conversng with animation. Before
he could reach the carriage that was in readi-
ness to convey him to his hotel he was sur
rounded by number Of newspaper men, and
with several Of these whom he knew he shook
hands with extreme cordiality. But. solicit and
persuade as they might Mr.. Low resolutely re.
fused to answer a single one Of the many In.
NOTHING 70 SAY FOR PUBLICATION
"I have nothing to say just now" was his In
variable answer and not by a single syllable
did he swerve from this determination. BY
way Of variation he said once with laugh: L

pleased TO meet you ALL but beyond that have
absolutely nothing to say
"Will you say whether you intend to enter

II am unable to answer you now" he replied.
because my plans for the moment are un-
certain"
Mr.. Low then hastened to his carriage in
which his companions had already seated
themselves. and at driven in
the direction Of the Plaza Hotel. where he will
stay during the next two three weeks. The
roadway in front Of Mr.. Lows house at Sixty
fourth-st. and Madson-ave. Is just now torn mp
by the construction Of the new underground
electric system upon the Madison-ave car line.
and until this work Is finished and the street
relaid he will not reopen his house. He has Sc
lected suite Of rooms at the northeast corner
OF the third floor of the Plaza. Upon reaching
the hotel he proceeded al once to his apartments.
He received no callers.
BENEFITED BY HIS REST.
1t was easily perceptibe that Mr. Lows visit
to Northeast Harbor had greatly benefited him.
His deeply tanned face and robust appearance
generally betokened constant pursuit Of out
door exercise and recreation. He wore yesSer-
day a morning suit OF dark blue serge. ligat
bow tie a black derby hat, and shoes OF patent
leather To those with whom he came In contact
after leaving the train Mr.. Low displayed the
warmest affabity. AS he was about TO enter
the Plaza. a newspaper artist, who had obtained
several snap shots Of Mr.. Low with a camera,
approached him and asked permission to take
another picture. on the plea that the negatives OK
the others might be poor likenesses, and conse-
ouently worthless. Mr.. Low readily consented,
and buttoning his coat posed for second be-
fore the camera. -
