Will Not Be Interviewed.
Colonel Lowther, military secretary,
was asked late In the day, since the
duke was permitting his visit to take on
semi-official tinge by calling upon the
President, IL he would not reconsider
his decision and grant an interview.
The colonel said the duke never granted
Interviews and was averse to breaking
this precedent away from home. A
member Of the royal encourage, how
ever, synopsized the dukes Impressions
OF his day In this manner:
That he was much impressed by the
altitude Of the Metropolitan tower. The
sweep showed him how the three rivers
made Manhattan an island. which he
noticed particularly, and from the
height he had splendid view OF the
bay, which he pronounced beautiful and
of the towering office buildings massed
to the south of him.
He admires the wide streets and re-
CARDS the high buildings as being at
fractions rather than drawbacks, as
some have called them.
He and the duches and the princess
were bewildered by the richee of Mr..
Morgans private art gallery, and he
was lavish In his expressions of praise
TO J. p Morgan jr., who acted as his
host.
Grants Tomb impressed him as a
noble monument to the soldier. and nc
commented upon the size and beauty of
the new, cathedral and of tho beauty of
Columbia's buildings.
End. finally. the spokesman for the
duke said the atmosphere Of richness
and prosperity Of the citizens, the
homes and the chops of the city had
made a deep Impression upon his high
ness.
Asked the usual question as to what
he thought OF American women, the
answer was made that the speaker had
heard no expression " opinion, but that
10 doubt the duke regarded them ms
charming. OF American men the duke
has frequently expressed himself in
fattering terms.
