MORSE STAYS INDOORS
Somewhat Tired from Effects OF
Trip North. His Son SAYS.
HE SEES JUDGE VAN WYCK
Visitors and Reporters Barred
Wall Street Expects Him to
Recover at Bad Nauheim.

Charles " Morse. who returned to New
York on Thursday from the federal prison
~ Atlanta. spent yesterday resting quietly
IN his apartment AZ the Miano, No. l25
West 5Sth street The same Jealous secrecy
with which his family has surrounded him
since he left the prison walls was kept up
Yesterday, and 1t was asserted il would be
until he sailed for Germany.
That trip abroad probably will begin
within the next two weeks, according to
Dr. Fowler, but no definite date has been
settled upon as vet Harry Morse, the
Younger son of the banker and former ice
king made the only statement as 10
Morse's condition which was allowed to
leak out YESTERDAY
NY father shows very little Ill effect Of
the trip from the South, said young
Morse He got up At 9 o'clock this morn
lns. and though he seemed somewhat tired
from the exertions Of travelling. We felt
encouraged that he did not feel worse.
The son took up then the point made in
some Of the stories printed concerning his
fathers return that he intended TO revenge
himself on those who, as he believed. treat
ed him unfairly in his deals.
Nothing is further from his mind than
that" said Harry Morse, speaking of his
father He had no idea or intention OF
working a revenge upon any one.
According TO his son. Morse has gained
twenty-five pounds I'm weight since his re
lease from prison so he is now just about
twenty-five pounds lighter than when he
left New York bound for prison in January,
1910
In the financial district. where Morse was
formerly a big figure II was apparently
the general belief that his supposedly seri-
Gus sickness would disappear gradually
probably shortly after he reached Bad Nau-
helm Those who expressed these views
seemed to have great faith in the German
baths. and though they did not expect to
see Morse "in the Street" for few months
they would not he surprised TO hear OF
financial activity on his part before the end
of the year.
Among the men who were most closely
connected with Morse there, such as Alfred
r. Curtis and John w McKinnon. there
seemed to be none who knew anything ol
the present state Of his finances.
Il don't know whether Mr.. Morse has a
dollar or hundred dollars, or more said
Mr. Curtis, and at the office of the Assets
Realization Company, of which Mr.. Nc
hinnOn is president, pIdCutdHS 'iiO sum-
statement was made.
That company has taken over the Ma
tional Bank Of North America, which was
the chief link in the Morse chain. but the
liquidation is still going on. When II is
over the stockholders, of whom Morse was
formerly the largest single one, will come
in for shares of the residue, if there Is
any. Such an outcome would bring out
publicly the names Of owners of the stock,
and il would then be seen whether Morse'S
bank stock was swept away from him or
not.
Some one acting for the Morse family
caused a notice to be sent TO the newspa-
pers yesterday TO the effect that Mr.. Morse
was not we'll enough to see reporters and
for the present would give no interviews 10
anybody. With the statement came re-
quest that Morse and his family be left
alone for the present
This seclusion is apparently to be ex-
tended to all visitors and friends also, eX-
cept those whose presence Mr. Morse has
requested, judging from the reception ac-
corded one woman who called at the Milano
apartment house yesterday. She gave her
card to the hall boy, only to be Informed
that he had strict orders not to denver
any cards to the Morse apartment ana not
TO call them on the telephone.
Former Supreme Court Justice Augustus
Van Wyck, brother of former Mayor van
Wvck. was the only caller yesterday who
was admitted to the Morse apartment. He
remained with the former banker for about
