Whether or not New York has been enter
tanning unawares Prince Hole de Sagan the
developments Of yesterday make IL hard
TO determine. II W H. Thomson, who
/ registered on Sunday at the Prince George
Hotel In East Twenty eighth street. man
Of some height and weight, with mustache
/ tinged with gray and a slight II not in
significant imperial pendent from the lower
lip, is not the Prince II Ia up 10 him to prove
| IT,
As the narrative goes, the person who
is or is not the Prince de sagan came over
on an Allan liner TO Canada and was on his
way 10 this city on a Delaware and Hudson
train when his identity became known.
| In order to get into this country he had 10
show his letter Of credit which, according
/ TO information detailed later by a CONNER
cal traveller on the same train, bore the
! noble name.
The United States immigration officials
at Montreal say they have no report that
the traveller known as Thompson revealed
himself as the Prince de Sagan.
Thompson did not register at the Prince
George as coming from anywhere. IL
was reported that on Sunday evening he
was a guest at the home Of Tyler Morse
in the Wyoming apartments, at Seventh
avenue and Fiity-hfth street, and dined
there with Nine. Gould who, II Is assumed,
is the reason for his coming here, Mr..
Morse has denied that de Sagan was there,
although Nine. Gould was, He said that
another man present at the dinner was his
brother Isiiore, and that mistake had
been nade in believing de Sagan to have
been present.
Nine. Gould ia staying at the home Of
her sister. Miss Helen Gould. Inquirers
there Yesterday we're told that Miss Gould
did not know anything about the story
as told and that there was nothing to say
about t.
The further movements Of the man sup
posed to he the Prince who wants to marry
the divorced wife Of his relative, Count

his way out and got into a cab, leavin 3
behind his baggage, as well rs 500 in cash
with The CLERK He got as far uptown as
Thirty-frs; street. when he told the cab'nan
TO tax . him to the Grand Central station.
ln view Of the fact that he left behind word
TO forward his mail to the New Willard
Hotel IN Washington this was rather an
odd wa 10 20 about II. However, he
changed mis- mind again later and sent the
driver in the direction Of the Pennsylvania
ferry
When Thomson left the Prince George
he said he would be back in a few days,
According 10 one source Of information

Persons who had seen Prince Helie dc

merchant on business trip. He said he
