DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH NOW
PLANS A SOCIALIST CRUSADE
Former Miss Vanderbilt Sur
prises Family by Democratic
Views of Relief to Poor.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Friends Of
the Duchess of Marlborough, who was
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, heard with
surprise today a report that she has
become a Socialist, and contemplates
becoming a member of the Social Dem
ocratic Federation. The duchess Is a
passenger ON the Bucania. bound for
America, n her friends prefer to hear
the rumor confirmed from her own lips.
The duchess has for several years
been interested in the West Ham Hos
pital. She has spent a great deal of
time among denizens in the East End
of London.
While on a visit to New York last
August, the duchess made a trip to
Ellis Island to continue her studies.
Mrs. Clarence H.. Mackay accompanied
her.
Despite these facts. however. few
have believed that this sympathy for
the poor would Lead her to an open
espousal of the cause of socialism. 1t
is pointed out that she has never dom
things by halves, and if she is decided
to become a Socialist is not likely to
be niggardly with the Vanderbilt mil
lions under her control.
