New York Landlords De- cline to Harbor Him.
BAGGAGE SHIPPED TO CHICAGO
Now Talk of Deporting the Famous
 Russian Officer.
Announced in Washington that the Case Will be Investigated if For mai Complaint Is Made to
 the Omcials.

New York, April 1s.-The Tribune to- day says that Maxim Gorky and his woman companion were not found by newspaper men in this city. Their bag gage. 1t was ascertained, was shipped to Chicago on morning train ana there was some ~eason to believe they had gone on the same train with the baggage together with Nickolay I'tsch- off, Gorkys adopted son.
 After being turned away from the Lafayette-B Brevoort Hotel on Saturday evening, they went to socialistic meeting at the Grand Central Palace with the understanding that they were to have rooms at the Rhinelander. When they got to the Rhinelander an hour before midnight. however. they were told by Frank Geraldy, the man. ager. that they could not stay there and that their baggage must be removed immediately. Gorky and the woman who has been travelling with him as his wife then went to No. 3 Fifth Avenue in company with MT. and Mrs. Leroy M. Scott. while the baggage was sent to the Victoria Hotel in charge of Cor ky's adopted son.
 An attempt to get rooms at the Vic- toria failed, and the baggage was taken to the Grand Central and left in the baggage room over night. At the Grand Central station yesterday it was said that the baggage had been shipped to Chicago. but nobody would say posi- lively whether or not Gorky and his companion were on the train as pas- sengers.
 To a Quiet Place.
 Abraham Cahan. editor of The Jew ish Daily Forward, said last night that Gorky had arranged to go out Of the city for a. few days and keep out of sight in a quiet place, where he could write in peace. In that way, Mr. Ca- han said, the Russian author and revo- Iutionist could get ready some speeches he intended to deliver in this country and in the meantime the trouble over his companion would abate.
 Immigration Commissioner Robert watchorn, when seen at the Hotel Chelsea yesterday said the case was no longer in the hands of the local immi- graticn bureau, It was up to Secre- tary Metcalf, of the department of com merce and labor, at Washington, he said.
 If Gorky is, as he says. married to legally separated from his wife in Rus sia, then he Is liable to deportation, said the commissioner For both bigamy and polygamy are under the ban of the immigration laws. As the code now stands, however, we have no evidence agalnst Gorky or the woman who came here as Mime. Gorky.
 Washington, April 16.-Regarding the question of the marital status of Maxim Gorky, the Russian author and socialist, who arrived at the port of New York last week, 1t was stated to- day at the breau of immigration that the matter, of course. would be investi- gated if complaint was officially made that Gorkys companion is other than hic IaOal wife The officials hero arc satisfied that if official action is war ranted the immigration commissioner at New York has ample authority to act.

 New York, April 16.-Louis Cure of Paris defeated Jacob Schaefer of Chi cago in the thirteenth game of ths worlds 1s-2 championship tournament tonight by a score of 800 to SsO. This result attained in the twenty-fourth Inning, was somewhat of surSrisc.

 RETIREMENT OF CASTRO.
The Cause of Much Speculation Among
 VenezueIa's POpuIace.

Willemstad, Curacoa, April 10.-Pas- sengers arriving here today from ven- ezuela say that the action of General Castro In retiring from the Presidency in favor of Vice President Gomez. is not clearly understood in Venezuela. but the general opinion seems to be that his retirement is only temporary.
 General Castro has gone one way. as & private citizen, unattended, and pay ing the regular fare on the railroad, his wife has gone another way and the former Presidents sister arrived here today.
 The resignation of the Venezuelan cabinet Is also causing speculation. The ministers retired when Castro gave up the reins of power, but Gomez has not appointed new cabinet, and, therefore, the old ministers have retained their portfolios.
 On the other hand Castro's followers are scattering, leaving the capital in different ways. At Caracas the politi- cal atmosphere has completely changed.
 The opinions expressed here, the nearest point to Venezuela, are espec- ially conflicting. The Venezuelans, as a rule, are reticent when questioned on the subject. They generally say that Castro is sick and hesitate to give their opinion of his retirement from the Presidency.
