FRIENDS HUNT FOR Mr.. GILLETTE
waldorf Asst oria Not Filled With Alarm
Because He's Not There.

The friends Of II. S. Gillette. a Chicago
banker, who has done business in this city
and has lived about half OF the time for
the last three years at the Valid OFF Astoria,
we're perturbed yesterday because they
could not find Mr.. Gillette. According
to one Of these friends, MIR. Gillette dis
appeared from the Astoria three weeks
ago. He had been i'll for some time with
a kidney complaint.
said this friend Mr. Gillette had $50 600 worth
OF securities in his room and was greatly
worried about their safe keeping. He was 80
nervous, so his friend said, that he asked
that the windows be closed, for fear he
would jump out Of them" 1t was stated
he expected to return to it in few min
utes.
The Waldorf Astoria management,
frankly disinclined to discuss MIR Gillette's
affairs, told rather a different story. Mr.
G illette went away, they said. about ten
he gone or when he was coming back The
story that he had left behind him 500 900
in securities was greeted with broad smiles
but no audible comment. The care of those
securit lea was apparently the least OF the
Astoria's troubles relating to Mr. Gillette.
Mr.. Little of the management said for the
hotel:
@All we have to say in regard to these
inquiries for Mr.. Gillette. which seem to us
altogether gratuitous and unnecessary,
is that we have not the slightest fear that
anything has happened to him. and that
we have not the slightest doubt of his re-
turn. We know some of these people
who have been looking for him, and per-
haps the disclosure Of their identity would
60 long way toward explaining their
inability to find him."
Mr.. Gillette was once a member Of the
uor rpH
town at 20 Broad street. II was reported
last night by guest of the hotel t1at he
had seen Mr.. Gillette on Wednesday in
Astor court, just north OF the hotel
