HALL FAMEEY HAVE A
MYSTERY TO SOLVE.
Notice Of a Broken Engagement
Sent Out but Is3Denisd by Family
Summer Residents Here.

Mystery surrounds the sending out
of a card bearing the Hall coat-of-
arms and reading as follows:
N52 West Ninth st.
1.-THE engagement Of Lily F. Will
son, of New Rochelle, daughter of
Mrs. George Grant Wilson, and Mr.,
Vaudeville de Marigny Hall. of New
York, has been broken by mutual
consent"
Mr.. Hall is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Cornelius Hall, of New York
and this city. They sailed for Europe
500 after the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Marie Hall, which
took place in the Church of the AS
cension last january The senior
Hall is vice president of the Perth
Amboy Terra Gotta Company, and a
member of the University, Saint AM
thony and New York Yacht Clubs.
and like his sons, is a Yale graduate.

turned from Europe. The Wilson's
are still in France. The Halls will
come to their summer home on Wat
er streets, this city, shortly, as usual.
The circulation of the unsigned an
~nouncement on Mrs. William G.
Halls private stationery has distress
ed young Mr.. Hall deeply. The en-
velope is from Tiffany's and Mr.. Hall
said it is unquestionably from their
own supply of stationery. He denied
emphatically that the engagement
was broken and asserted that he did
not know who the mysterious sender
was. He looked at the backhand
scrawl and said it was an attempt to
disguise the natural p~enmanship. Mr..
Hall was in the Ninth street house
last night. He said that he is sntire-
ly in the dark.

DRYDEN HELD
UP kpR AUTO SPEEDING
Watchers at Bound Brook Not in
Sympathy With Regular Move
ment Blamed.

BOUND BROOK, June 12.zSena-
( tor John f. Dryden had an object les
son Sunday of how INSTRUMENTATION
/ to keep in close toy0hand travel with
his s~on-in-law, Colonel A. r. Kuser,
might prevent bGs return to the upper
branch of congress, if not for a full
term, temporarily at least.
The Senator and Mr.. Kuser had
come-Rb from Washington to their
| Be%rnardsville home Friday night, and
Sunday afternoon both left in the col
onel's big red touring car at 1880 p.
M, to reach the Bound Brook station
at 1857 pm, to catch a Royal Blue
limited due in Washington at Z pm.
The distance over the road is, ac-
cording to the map, eighteen miles,
and having an hour and twenty-seven
minutes to make it a twelve-mile rate
would almost have been sufficient.
According to the mayor and police
force of Bound Brook, as the c%olonel's
car was approaching the main street
of the town it was going at a thirty
mile gait. Stop watches held by the
DOliC6 DlOhCu tiQb III q ohOat w
held across the road brought the car
to a stop.
Mr.. Kuser expostulated, but all in
vain. The law was read, Mayor Bro
kaw was summoned, the number of
the machine taken, the depot reached
in time and Senator Dryden and Mr..
Kuser went on their way, while the
car returned to Bernardsville. Mr..
Kuser's chauffeur thought SO little of
the event that it is said he did not
mention it on his return, but it caused
great connection in this central Jer-
sey railroad town.
This was the first arrest" of the
day, because it was said auto enthusi-
asts had agents stationed at Dunellen
and Somerville, on either side of the
town to warn approaching tourists.
There is a suspicion that the watch
ers were acquainted with the senator,
and not being in sympathy with the
regular movement, did not signal
the colonel's car.
