Very Cordial and Hearty i'm Their
Greeting to the Visiting Noble.
Prince Louis Bore q Personal Mes
sage Of Good Will From King Ed
ward to the President-Not Since
Visit of Prince Henry Of Prussia Has
a Royal Visitor Been the Recipient
of Such Honors as Were Accorded.

Washington, November 3.-With
great eclat, Rear Admiral Prince Louis
of Battenburg, who with his staff ar
rived here this morning, was received
by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. The prince
was the bearer of a personal message
of good will from King Edwrd 10.
President Roosevelt, and was present
ed 20 the President 10y Sir Henry Nor
timer Durand, the British ambassa-
dor. The presentation was made the
occasion for u brilliant reception.
Tonight %he British ambassador and
Lady Durand gave a state dinner to
their distinguished house guest, fol-
lowed by a large reception and ball.
No since Prince Henry of Prussia was
a guest Of the German embassy at
Washington has a royal visitor been
the recipient of greater honOrs than
those with which Britain's admiral
prince has been welcomed to the nat
ional capital. Sove for the absence of
military honors the princes entry to
the capital today has been invested
with as much ceremony as that which
made memorable the greeting to The
Prussian prince several years ago. This
has been the busiest day he has spent
since he arrived off Annapolis We'd
day.
Both the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt were markedly cordial and hearty
in their welcome, the President ex-
pressing the hope that every moment
of the visit of h British squadron in
American waters would prove enjoy
able to them. The President recalled
the generous hospitality with which
American naval officers were always
received in British ports. The Presi-
dent and the prince then entered into
an earnest talk about the various prob
lens of a modern navy. The prince
was impressed with the technlca,
knowledge shown by the President.
Secretary Bonaparte left the recep-
ton early and returned to the navy
department to assemble the chiefs of
bureaus of the department in his re-
ceptiOn room to await the official call
Of the Prince. They We're kept wait
ing more than an hour, the Prince
through a misunderstanding having re-
turned to the embassy from The White
House. When he finally arrived. ac-
companied by his personal stat, lie
a%pologized quite frankly to the secre-
tary, and the chiefs of bureaus and
expressed his keen regret at the incl
dent. The Prince was considerably
embarrassed by the occurrence and
Secretary BOnaparte's graceful remark
that the pleasure of welcoming the dis
~tinguished visitor to his department
quite compensated for the DELAY was
evidently appreciated by the Prince.
The Prince was loudly cneered ~ the
employees of the department rs le left
the building.

Through all his sufferings, President

do all in their power to relieve his
pain hat he might be able to give Sc
riOus thought to matters of education
al policy demanding his official atten-
ton.
At all times he is active in following
university work. During all the big
football games reports direct from the
field have been received at Cobb Hall
and carried to the president.
That his mind is still vigorously ac-
tive and alert for the welfare of the
institution which he serves was fOrci-
bly, demonstrated last Monday, when
he kept in touch with 100 of his pro-
fessors who were on an excursion to
Dayton. Ohio.

He Will Take the Oath of Office January st if the Row is Not Settled by that Time-Will Make Appont- ments and Demand Possession of the Mayors Office in the City Hall

New York, Nov 1.-The Tribune says William R. Hearst will, if the contest for the mayoralty is prolong- ed in the courts beyond the first of next year, it is said, take the oath of office as mayor, announce his appoint ments and demand possession of the mayors office in the city hall lnas- much as Mayor Mcclellan has decided to fight his adversary at every point, this city may have dual government on New Years day.
 ''The decision of the Hearst men to install their candidate as mayor on January 1 was reached yesterday, it was said. but nothing will be officially said about their intention for some days yet. Mir Hearst's counsel has told him that one sure method of hav- ing his title to the mayoralty, either confirmed or denied, is for him to take the oath or office as mayor and thrust the contest into the courts.
 "The legal procedure necessary for the validation of Mir Hearst's claim to the mayoralty must be made with in the next fifteen days"
 The Tribune was not able to con firm the foregoing through MT Hearst's lawyers.
