New York World.)

(NeW York NOrld.)
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 22.-Mrs. Isaac
f. Emerson, who reached her home
here tonight after a week IN New
York, gave out a statement denying
the story printed in New York this
morning that she and Capt. Emerson
had become estranged after u violent
quarrel at the Waldorf-Astoria and
that Capt. Emerson would go to Reno
after Thanksgiving to acquire citizen
ship that he might procure a divorce.
Mrs. Emerson said that her rela-
tons with Capt. Emerson Were as
amicable as hey had ever been and
that the only reason she had not &C
companied her husband and her
daughter. Mrs. McKim. to the Elmer
son hunting lodge. Arcadia. in South
Carolina, was because she wished to
s~uperintend the extensive alterations
now going on at the beautiful Emerson
home on EutaW place, in this city.
Never on Better Terms.
We're never on better terms
in our lives said Mrs. Emerson, and
10 emphasize this she gave a detailed
statement Of the doings of the family
in New York during Horse Show week.
WENT 10 NE" 1OIN OIL NAOl1lliJ
morning. she added, and / was met
at the Twenty-third street ferry by my
husband, who took me to the Waldorf
Astoria, where he a engaged rooms
for me adjoining the apartments of my
daughter, Mrs. McKim. Capt. Elmer
son put up at the New York Yacht
Club, as he always does. [ attended
q number of teas and gave several
bridge parties while I was in New
York. and | was at the Horse Show
every night.
Until Saturday / was constantly
with my husband, except on one after
noon when he was not feeling we'll.
on Saturday Mr.. Emerson was again
not well and he remained at his club
all the forenoon. but he came to the
hotel in the afternoon. He met one
of his friends there and the two q
luncheon together.
Nj usban came over to the table
where I was sitting and asked me how
[ was getting along, and then went
back to his guest. After luncheon he
Joined me in the lobby and we talked
business for some time. Mr.. Emerson
told ME of the of the con-
struction Of the hotel he is building in
Baltimore n then informed me that
he had engaged as manager w. II.
-Tarre, who has been the assistant
manager OF the Waldorf-Astoria for
seventeen years. Several other mat
ters of interest to us both were dis
cussed, but there was not then. nor
had there been before, nor has there
been since, any idea of separation.
Mrs. McKim Went With Father.
Mrs. Alexander Brown, OF Balti-
more, and several other friends came
into the lobby with Mrs. McKim, and.
after chatting with them tor a little
while, Capt. Emerson invited all the
ladies to go with him to his South
Carolina estate. l could not go, and
Mrs. McKim said she would not let
her father go alone, and she would
stay there with him as long as he
wanted to remain in the South.
1.-THE idea that my husband wants to
get a divorce is ridiculous. If he did
want to do SO, he Would not 90 to
Reno, as the New York paper stated.
He would come right here to Balti-
more and do it, for this is his home,
and his business interests and his
friends are here.
II notice the New York paper which
got SO busy about the affairs Of my
husband and L, and printed such q
ridiculous and false story, states that
the house in Reno belongs to my nus
band. That is not true. It belongs
to my daughter. She pays the taxes
on it, and the whole business is trans
acted in her name"
