FORCED
TO QUIT ROOMS

NEW YORK. April 3-That Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw was forced to leave the
Hotel Prince George because Of the
notoriety attaching 10 the statement she
had been asked to leave the Hotel
KnickeroOcker grill room with Z. r.
Thomas on Monday night, was a re-
port about Mrs. Thaw which attracted
attention today. Evelyn, 81 Is said
has left the city temporarily. The re-
Port that she would sail for EarOpe
today Is now believed 20 have been
given out to conceal her real move
ments.
Manager Dick Of the Prince GeorSe
today said that Mrs. Thaw's apartments
were vacant and that she would not
return. but he would not say positively
she had been asked to leave. he admit
ted the affair had lost him some good
patrons.
EveIyn's suite at the Prince George

She was only here about every other
night or so. She was not at all regular.

herself largely TO writing. She has
come TO the conclusion that she has
literary ability, and encouraged by
friends and her attorney, Dan O'RefIly,
has been laboring TO turn out a man
uscrlpt that would interest the public
Part Of the alibi Evelyn attempted
to set up against the report Of being
elected from the KnickerbOcker was
that she was with her attorney at
the time Of the incident. Mrs. O'ReIlly
today shattered this defense by saying
that she and OReilly had been together
all Monday night
