NOBLE DENIES E[OP|NC
WITH WIFE OF SUYDAM
MiIIionaire's Wife Will Be For
given if She Returns
to Her Home.

NEW YORK. September I3.--Through
his sister. Frederick Noble. the young
man who disappeared from Blue Point
l.. L.. almost simultaneously with Mrs.
Walter l.. Sudan. jr said yesterday
that he had not seen Mrs. Suydam since
September >. the day they both left the
little Long Island summer colony. Miss
Estelle Noble has been unceasing in her
search for her brother, and although
some of the members of his family assert
they have known his whereabouts for a
day or two the statement she made for
her brother was the first actual word
from him since he left Blue Point.
Miss Noble left Blue Point yesterday
afternoon to go to the Greenville section
of Jersey City. When she left Blue Point
the impression was that she had located
her brother with his aunt, Mrs. Jane
Noble. who lives in Greenrille.
Gives Out Statement.
But Miss Noble unexpectedly made her
appearance again in Blue Point late in
the evening" and said she and her brother
Warren had seen Frederick at the office
in Broadway this city. where both the
brothers are employed. The statement
of Frederick Noble. according to his sis
ter. was follows:
Tuesday morning, September =, | came
to New York on the $40 train. At IL so
O'Clock Mrs. Suydam telephoned to me
and took luncheon together at the
| Hofbrau. After that we took a ride on a
9Th avenue bus. and ] left her at the
| Grand Union Hotel. Next morning she
! left a New York, New Haven and
| Hartford train for some point up the
| road, and I>have not seen her since.
| Search Is Continued.
No word was received from Mrs. Suy-
dam during the day, but it is known that
her family have been using all efforts to
| locate her. Early yesterday morning the
elder Suydam left Acknowledgment Lodge
in an automobile for Bayport. With him
4 was Sheriff Charles Warren. At the same
| time Walter i. Suydam, jr.. went to Say
4 Vile in another automobile. 1t Is SAID
| that private detective agency IS at
| work on the case. and. while young No
| ble's statement of some place up the
| road is indefinite, it Is generally believed
| that the Suydams have a very good idea
of where the place is.
| Mr.. Suydam still expresses his desire to
is stern on the matter, it is thought that
should Mrs. Suydam return she would be
| taken back into the household once more
| and the incident would be considered
| closed.

The number Of persons thus insured
and provided for IN their old age is
about 100000. n they become sick
