Hopes Were High.

For a few brief moments hts hopes of at
last meeting and talking with NJ. Witte
were high. but they were dashed 20 the
ground when on reaching the room of NJ.
Whites secretary he was told that the
bellboy had mistaken him for another per-
son who had been waiting for NJ korot-
sevitz Disappointed and depressed, but
still hoping, Mr. Neurock waited In the hall
on the seventh floor, where NJ. Whites
rooms are, for an hour, but the plenipo-
Tertiary did not appear. Finally he went
downstairs 70 the office. There he enCoun-
tered Gregory Willenkin Of the official
party who referred him back 10 the secre-
tary Mr.. Neurock was about 10 ascend in
the elevator again when his way was
blocked. and he realized that his mission
had failed.
Leaving the surroundings on which he
had for two hours toasted his eyes. he re-
turned crushed 10 his humble but scrupu-
lousy clean basement home. There was
sorrow IN that little home last night, where
the childish pranks and laughter OF the
Neurocks three-year-old daughter Title
was the only lght-heartedness shown. Mr.
Neurock said last night TO Tribune re
porter:
II blame the secretaries for my failure to
reach NJ Wttte. II he knew that l was
there am sure he would have received me.
But my card was not presented TO HIM

A dispatch from New York says: Dis
cOuraged by the failure of his efforts 10
make an appointment with NJ Witte by
letter, Adolph Neurock, an electrician and
janitor. of No. Pill East 14th street. who
says he Is brother-in-law of the distin-
guished Russian statesman, called last
evening at the ST. Regis and made an en-
ergetic but unsuccessful attempt to speak
with NJ Witte there
Mr.. Neurock called at the hotel In the
morning, but VI. Witte had gone to West
Point. He returned IN the evening just
before the Russian plenipotentiary got back
from his trip.
He saw the man he thinks is the husband
of his sister enter the hotel, but he could
not summon sufficient courage to approach
him, as he was surrounded by a corps of
detectives and members of his suite
Neurock looked more like a prosperous
merchant than an electrician. He was at
tired In black frOck coat, dark trousers a
SILK hat and patent leather shoes. After
M Witte had reached his apartment Mr..
Neurock presented his card TO the hotel
clerk and IL was promptly sent TO Score
tary Korotsevitz In a few minutes a bell
boy told him to go UP.
