Newark Manufacturer Had
Police Gust Strange Women"
from His Apartment.

Further interesting developments
are expected today as a result of an
incident this week at the Manhattan
apartments of Andrew Albright, jr..
president of the Rubber and Cellu-
loid Harness Trimming Company, OF
this city. Mr.. Albright IS also head of
the Rubberset Company. His two
concerns have a large plant at Ferry
and Prospect streets.
Mr.. Albright late Wednesday night
learned that two strange women"
were in his apartments at Harperls
Hall, at Central Park west and
Sixty fourth streets. He notified the
police of the West Sixty-eighth street
station A policeman went to the
apartments and the two women were
asked to go to the police station.
There one of the women said she was
Mrs. Joseph Kaufman, of 574 West
End avenue. The identity of the
other woman was not disclosed. Mrs
Kaufman was said to be the wife OF
a man connected with a New York
advertising agency that has. done
considerable work for the manufac-
turing firms
Mr.. Albright did not appear at the
Newark office today. It was said
there that he also has a home in
Montclair and that he was not ex-
pected back at his office until Mon

Albright, who for many years lived
on High street here and who had
large land holdings in Sussex county.

She was reported today as prostrated

Wednesday night.
AIbrights Out.
Accompanied by a woman friend,
Mrs. Kaufman went to Albright's
apartments at Harperly Hall shortly
before 10 o'clock. Mr.. Albright and
his wife were out, but the maids ad-
mitted the visitors without question.
Both were expensively attired and
both, as one of the servants later
described it, possessed an air"
Later the Albrights returned and an
emotional scene followed. Mrs. Kauff-
man said that sne had received a tel
.egram earlier in the day to pay the
Albrights visit; that she had called
then only to find them out, and re-
turning to her own apartments she
was astounded to find that in her alb
sence her husband had been there and
removed furniture and personal 'ef-
fects. SO back she had gone for an
explanation.
Albright invited her to leave. She
declined. The Aibrights then hur-
ef1d over 10 this West Sixty -eigAtb
street station and returned with
policemen. Finally Mrs. Kaufman,
excited to the verge OF Mysteries, was
persuaded to leave. and Mr. Albright
declined to prefer any charge against
her.
An advertisement which Mrs. Kauf-
mann's husband, Joseph Kaufman,
had inserted in newspapers on Octo-
Der 2 may or may not shed light upon
his wife's affairs. 1t was to the effect
that thereafter he refused to be re-
sponsible for debts incurred BY her.
When a reporter got telephonic
connection with Mrs. KaufmanR,s
apartment yesterday mans voice
said:
Mrs. Kaufman begs TO be ex-
cused from seeing you. In fact, she
is i'll in bed, prostrated from the re-
suit of last nights happenings"
Are you authorized to make any
statement for Mrs. Kaufmann?'
asked the reporter.
No Explanation
Il am her lawyer. but | must de-
cline to discuss the case for either
Mrs. Kaufman or myself today
This is d mysterious affair. We have
yet been unable to get at the bot
tom of it.
1T is likely that there will be de-
velopments especially regarding that
telegram. We are going to find out
about that, who sent it, why 1t was
sent. We will not drop this matter
II thought Mrs. Kaufman referred
to William Travers Jerome as her
counsel said the reporter.
"That was a mistake" was the re-
piv. IT am her counsel, but | do not
care even to give you my name today
No. l can't say one word about who
Mrs. Kaufman is or who her hus-
band is.''
A call at Harperly Hall ehcitec
only the information that the Al
brights had left last night for an un-
revealed destination and. that they
"were not expected back
1--WE know nothing about them o.
their affairs, and we don't expec'
them here was the statement made
at the apartment house. THE lease
had only three weeks to run, any
how. Even their own maids do no
know where they are to be found TO-
day., We, expect the apartmnt to bs
yooatad Mrs Kaufmann, as far as
