Two Weeks in America.
His majesty definitely made these
selections after conferences today in
which Admiral Won Seckendorff took
part at the Old Schloss. Admiral Won
~Seckendorff in giving the correspond
ent of the Associated Press these
names said:
The emperor personally is making
all the arrangements that can be made
on this side. The details as to how
Prince Henry shall spend his time in
the United States are left to Secretary
Hay Il DR.. o ,Holleben, but our
general idea Of dates is this: We will
arrive on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm
b tSb uoiy 90 81 ANS" VIA. liz pIlilGS
will go on board the H~ohenzollern, and
will stay there till the launching of the
emperor's new yacht, which we think
will probably be February "a. We will
go then to Washington to see the pres
ident, and perhaps will stay there sew
eral days. Then we will make the
most Of the next few days in seeing
other cities, and returning to New York
for two more days before we sal for
home or the Deutschland March s. .
This general design, you see, fills
up about four weeks, one week in go
Ing each way and a fortnight in the
United States"
1t was suggested to Won Seckendorff
that two weeks was not enough for
the prince to see much of America,
and that he ought to spend a'longcr
time in the United States and go west
and south, to which the admiral re-
piled: 6&
1T would be difficult for his royal
highness to spend much longer time
there, though the Dcutschland's sailing
can be delayed a day or two If it seems
desirable. An invitation from Chicago
is mentioned, 1 see, but I am unable
=. to say whether it will be accepted.
That will be. left to ycur people. Prince
Henry simply wishes to spend his time
as those at Washington nay think tC
be to his best advantage. He looks
forward with keen interest to the trip,
and expects to get pleasure n in
struction out Of it," y
Emperor May Come Himself.
The admiral was asked If it were
possible that the emperor might visi,
the United States at some future time
1T would please him greatly" he
answered. TT is not an impossibility.'
The emperor has ordered the Hohen-
zollern to be fitted out with all the
accessories used when his majesty is
on board the yacht.
The Lokal Anzeiger today prints the
~folloWing:: fa
Emperor William has commissions
Prince Henry to meet the prominent
New York yachtsmen and invite then
to participate in KEEL regattas begin
ming June rs. The prince will also ask
the president to permit the United
States Mediterranean squadron to be
present at Kiel during regatta week
SO American seamen m "a participate
in the barge races. The prince bears
a valuable present from the emperor
for Miss Roosevelt
