BRIDAL COUPLE
MAY BEATSEA
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre
EIude Public IN TumuIty
Automobile.
ON DOLPHIN, ONE REPORT
Rumor Also Places Honeymoon at Old
Lord Baltimore House and Sew
eral Other Hiding Places.

Speculation as to where the White
House bride and bridegroom went to spend
their honeymoon centered last night
about the guess that they were aboard
the Dolphin. BY clever ruse in which
two shrewd policemen DR.. Wilfred T.
Grenfell, who had been best man TO Mr..
Sayre, and a foxy chauffeur driving the
automobile OF the Presidents secretary.
Joseph P. Tumulty,- had been the princi-
pal actors, Mr.. and Mrs. Sayre at s.
o'clock escaped" from the White House
and, eluding scores of newspaper men,
lost themselves to the public.
The circumstances Of their departure,
coupled with other events, led to the ac-
cepted belief that they bad gone aboard
the Dolphin, which sailed at 9:4 o'clock
last night.
Mr.. and Mrs. sayre, in the inconspic-
uous motor OF Mr.. Tumulty, which does
not bear the coat of arms of the United
States, left the White House grounds by
the southwest entrance. which the police
men on guard there persistently had as
severated by Hymen and half dozen
other gods, was reserved for, the ex-
elusive use of the diplomatic corps.
Went Through Grounds.
The bridal car, sweeping out of the
White House grounds at a brisk pace,
turned sharply TO the left, and sped
around the White House grounds.
As 1t coursed along, one of the news
paper taxicabs picked it up and followed
it through the north end Of the White
Lot and into Pennsylvania avenue.
Here the police effectually signaled for
the newspaper cab 10 stop. The Sayre
motor continued down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and lost itself in the trafiic.
No one about the White House. either
members OF the Presidents family or the
official stan, presumably had any knowl-
edge last night, OF the whereabouts of
the bride and bridegroom. The secret is
locked close in the breasts Of four peo-
pie, the jealous chauffeur, DR.. Wilfred
T. GrenfelI, and the bride and BRIDE
groom themselves.
1t had been stated that the Dolphin
was held in readiness for cruise OF
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, but Mr..
Daniels did not sail with her, though 1t
was stated that Mrs. Daniels and their
children were aboard. II is believed that
she was placed at the disposal OF the
White House couple, and that they viii
go to New York on the Dolphin and
there spend the greater part OF their
honeymoon, attending the Army-Navy
game Saturday.
1t also was reported that Mr.. and Mrs.
Sayre had gone to the old Lord Baltimore
house. near Upper Marlboro. Others OF
the numerous places for which they
were reported to have departed were the
Bermudas, Palm Beach, Mr.. Sayre's
ranch in Montana, Delaware Water Cap |
the West Indies, and little town in |
where Mr.. Sayre and his |
wife first met.
The flight" Of the bride and BRIDE |
groom recalls to Washingtonians who |
have witnessed two other White House |
weddings within the last generation, the !
difficulties surrounding the honeymoons
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, |
and President and Mrs, Grover Cleve- |
land. The Clevelands suffered the most |
from the attentions of the curious |
minded. but the Longworth honeymoon |
was the more riotous.
Cleveland Was Annoyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland were married
in the Blue Room OF the White House,
in the spring time. Some friend of the
then President lent him the use Of
beautiful summer cottage at Deer Park,
Md. President Cleveland's plans were
frankly announced to the public, but the
couple were followed by the very next
train after their special and throughout
they stay at the mountain resort they |
were interviewed, snap-shotted and
sketched until the President threw up |
his hands in disgust, terminated the we'd
ding tour abruptly, and returned to
John r. Mclean, of Cincinnati and
lent the Longworths his
beautiful country place on the outskirts |
Of Washington Friendship" The Long
worth ceremony was performed at noon. !
Early in the afternoon the bridal pair
moved out to the beautiful home and
everything went wondrously well until
along toward midnight. Then a Gala
thumian orchestra, organized by Joseph
Letter and other kindred spirits among
Mr.. Longworth's clubfellews. jimmied
their way inside the park gateway and
ndulged the Longworths to a concert
