NEW YORK, Feb. 2i.-Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia is due in New York to-
morrow. That he will arrive on schedule
time is, however, exceedingly doubtful.
Kron Prinz Wilhelm, to equal its westward
record, should reach Sandy Hook lightship
by 7:45 o'clock tomorrow morning. Owing
to the conditions now prevalent on the
Atlantic, it's arrival at any hour during
tomorrow will be surprising. AT the offces
OF the North German Lloyd company Man
ager schwab, although somewhat upset in
his calculations by the delay which Teu-
tonic experienced, that boat having arrived
twenty-four hours overdue, still expresses
the belief that Kron Prlnz wilhelm will
arrive in the harbor late in the afternoon.
Some of his associates we're not so hopeful,
however.
An all-night vigil was kept by the wire
lese operators on Hohenzollern and Etruria,
in the hope OF coming In communication
with Kron Prinz Wilhelm Up to midnight
their vigil had not born fruit. On Hohen-
zolern all the officers, from Admiral
Baudissin down, sat up the greater part
Of the night, hoping that news might be
ticked out from the mysterious instrument
in the cabin.
