MADAME GOULD LEAVES, TOO
Row In the Gould Family Is Brought To Climax and Divorced Countess Takes. Herself and ChlI-
 dren To Europe.

New York, April 1.-(special) )-Mme. Anna Gould formerly Countess de Castel- lane, accompanied by her children, their tutor and servants, and Prince Helie De Sagan sailed for Europe today by diff ferent steamers, both husbanding bitter feelings towards this country as the re- suit of their visit here
 By prearranged plan, in which se- crecy was an important factor, Mme Gould was followed to this country by the Prince De Sagan. The purpose of the visit was to win the consent of Mme Goulds family to a marriage between their sister and the Prince De Sagan, cousin of Count Boni
 From high hopes with which the plans for their visit to this country were formed Mime. Gould and the Prince De tically driven from the country by the hostile attitude of the Gould family, sailed today
 Mime. Gould, through her lawyer. de- nied in positive terms that there was even an engagement between the Prince De Sagan and herself, but the lawyer added:
 "No one can tell what may happen"
 Family Breach.
 After Mime. Gould had sailed, state ment was made by her lawysr concerning her treatment by her family and indicat- ing that the breach had become so wld- ened that it would probably never be bridged. and that it was improbable that Mime. Gould would never return to the United States.
 The lawyer used the strongest terms he could without explosives, but the Prince De Sagan and another man conspicuous in the arrangements for the departure of Mime. Gould were not so careful in their choice of words. Only "cuss' words were strong enough to express their feelings.
 ''At last I go, thank God" exclaimed the Prince De Sagan, aboard the Amer ican Line steamship St. Paul, which sailed at 10 o'clock this morning, and go hap py-a successful suitor But there has been no marriage-not yet. There will be in France. Oh, how happy l shall be to get back to that dear country, and how sick I am of this damn country. Bah! Bah! I have been treated most scan- dalously.'
 
 impassioned Prince De Sagan was pri- vate detective in the employ of George Gould, who slipped on the St. Paul at the last minute and sailed to keep watch over every move of the Prince De Sa- gan and make daily reports to his em- ployer.
 On the steamer Friedereich Der Crosse of the North German Lloyd line, which sailed from Hoboken at Il o'clock this morning Mime. Anna Gould, who occupied the captains suite, was fully guarded from would-be fnterviewers or intruders. Although she was on deck part of the time sailors, her lawyer and another man, said to be a. friend of Madame Gould, carefully shielded her and spoke for her.
 Report of Wedding.
 The first report, after it was learned Friday night that Madame Gould, reach ing a sudden determination to sail. had planned secret departure from the St. Regis and had boarded the steamer short ly before midnight under an assumed name. was that Madame Gould and the Prince had been married in New Jer- sey and would sail on the Friedereich Der Crosse.
 This was denied early this morning by the spokesman for Madame Gould.
 "Is the Prince De Sagan on this steam err" he was asked. Not by damned sight" was the emphatic reply.
 
 The sudden determination of Madame Gould to quit the country was authori- tatively reported to have followed the receipt of a communication from an in fluential member of the family tanta- mount to an order for her to leave Amer ica by the first steamer sailing and put a stop to the notoriety caused by the courtship of the Prince De Sagan. This communication also announced positively that the suit of M anne Gould to win the consent of her family to her marriage with the prince might as well be counted lost and a closed incident.
 Madame Gould was booked under the name of Madame Chapman, the name of her secretary, and the Prince De Sagan sailed under the name of E. D. Hodges. Madame Gould will land at some Medi- terranean port and the prince will prob ably leave the ship at Cherbourg. It IS believed that they have planned to meet in Paris.
 De Sagan expressed contempt at sug- gestion that tie Count Boni De Castel- lane might demand meeting on the heio of honor when he returned to France.
