THREE GOTHAM HOTELS.

Maxim Corky and Mime. Gorky'' We're not
found by newspaper men in New York yes
terday. Their baggage, 1t was ascertained,
was shipped to Chicago on morning train,
and there was some reason to believe that
they had gone on the same train with the
baggage, together with Nikolay Pieshcoff
Gorky's adopted
After being turned away from the
Lafayette-Brevoort Hotel Saturday evening
they went to a socialistic meeting at the
Grand Central Palace with the understand
ing that they We're to have rooms at the
Rhinelander. When they got to the Rhine
lander hour before midnight however
they were told by Frank Geraty, the mana
ger. that they could not stay there and that
their baggage must be removed immediate
ly. Gorky and the woman who has been
travelling with him his wife then went
to No. 9th avenue, in company with Mr..
and Mrs. Leroy M Scott. while the baggage
was sent to the Victoria Hotel in charge of
Gorkys adopted son.
An attempt to get rooms at the Victoria
failed, and the baggage was taken to the
Grand Central station and left in the bag
gage room over night At the Grand Cen
trail station yesterday it was said that the
baggage had been shipped to Chicago, but
nobody would say positively whether or not
Gorky and his companions were on the train
as passengers.
Out Of Sight in Quiet Place.
Abraham Cahan, editor of the Jewish
Daily Forward, said last evening 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.. Cahan said, the Russian
author and revolutionist could get ready
some speeches he intended TO deliver in
this country, and in the meantime the
trouble over Mime. Gorky' would abate.
Gorky had told his friends, Mr.. Cahan said,
that he was supporting his wife and chill
dren in comfort in Russia, and that his
wife was content with the separation.
immigration Commissioner Robert Watch
orn, when seen at the Hotel Chelsea yes
terday, said the case was no longer in the
hands of the local immigration bureau. 1t
was up to Secretary Metcalf of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor, he said
If Gorky is, as he says married to the
actress and at the same time not legally
separated from his wife in Russia, then he
is liable to deportation" said the commits
sioner, for both bigamy and polygamy are
the case now stands. however we have no
evidence against Gorky or the woman who
came here as Nine. Gorky.'
Word was received at the Jewish Daily
Forward through the central committee of
the Bund of New York that Maxim who
was the leader during the revolution in the
Baltic provinces, and head of the federal
committee during the three weeks of it's
republican government, will be in New
York in a few days His mission to this
country is similar to that of Gorky. He
will make a tour of the United States MAX
ing speeches and lecturing.
