BALTIMORE. Md, Aug. 1s.-Both Mrs.
James McYickar and her daughter. Mrs
Emerson, today Indignantly denied that
the former is in any way connected with
the Hanson divorce case, as is alleged in
the bill of Mrs. Cora Hanson, filed yesteT-
day. Mrs. MeVickar is still at her New
York home with her husband, but they
will probably come to Baltimore this week
to confer with Mrs. Emerson, following
which legal action may be taken against
Mrs. Hanson. Mrs. McVickar has al
ready communicated with her Atlanta
lawyers TO investigate the connection Of
her name with the case.
Mrs. Emerson, wife of Captain Emer-
son, blames the Hanson domestic troubles
on the Theosophists, which Mrs. Han
son Joined several years ago. In speaking
of the matter, Mrs. Emerson said:
Amy statements that have been made
by Mrs. Hanson about my daughter and
Major Hanson are absolutely false and
must have been made for blaekmail Ma
Jor Hanson has for years been friend
of my entire family, while Mrs. McViekar
always regarded Mrs. Hanson as her spe-
cial friend. When my daughter was Mrs.
Horner, and was living in Atlanta. both
Major and Mrs. Hanson visited them, but
never did Major Hanson go to my daugh-
ter's house without hts wife. Why. it was
Mrs. Hanson who first told me OF the
troubles between Mr.. and Mrs. Horner.
DAISY MUST LEAVE
"One night Mrs. Hanson called me up
on the long distance telephone from Mrs
Horners home, and told me that Daisy
and Mitchell had had some trouble AMI
that Daisy must leave her husband. Mrs
Hanson said that she had tried to get
my daughter to go home with her, ami,
failing, she said to me, now, Mrs. Enler-
son, you should insist on Daisy leaving
Mitchell, for she should not remain with
him..
After the separation between my
daughter and her husband" continued
Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Hanson had a bed
room fitted up in her own home for my
daughter and had a private bath room
built for her. Mrs. Horner refused to so
to the Hanson home. but instead she
came here. Later, when she went abroad.
Mrs. Horner wrote her some of the most
beautiful letters l have ever read, and the
woman always acted like she loved ny
daughter. Since that time my daughter
has never seen Mrs. Hanson. asl.A. 81 :
Two years ago, mrS. hanson went 70
California, and joined the Theosophists
Major Hanson was opposed to the Theo-
sophists and later Mrs. Hanson fled sepa.
ration papers from her huband. Major
Hanson admired all OF my daughters. H.
mover called Mrs. McVickar even by hel
first name and when she confided in him
that she had been proposed 10 by hei
present husband, Major Hanson advised
my daughter to accept him.
The whole accusation as to an infatu-
alton for my daughter is ridiculous Ma.
jor Hanson is 20 years or age and mS
daughter is 3d. Why Mrs. Hanson should
at this late day bring Mrs. McVickar
into this case l do not know, but l d.
know that there is absolutely no truth
in what she says"
HOST OF FRIENDS.
In this city the report OF Mrs. McVicK-
ars alleged connection with the Hanson
divorce suit was given little credence.
Mrs. McVickar Is we'll known here and
has a host of friends, she being remem-
bered as the first of the charming daugh-
