RECOVERY OF VANDERBILT
NOT CREDITED BY EMBASSY

LONDON, May IL.
American Embassy officials do not be-
lleve the report that the body of AL
fred C. Vanderbilt has been found, it
was stated today. Inquiries sent to
Liverpool and Queenstown by Ambassa-
dor Page have been without confrma-
ton
Reports from Queenstown insist, how
ever, that the body of Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt has been found. No details
are given.
1t is assumed that the body was dis
covered in a search instituted today by
Webb Wade, secretary of Mr., Vanderbilt,
and the authorities. who were spurred to
activity by Americans and relatives of
those who are missing.
All idea that Mr.. Vanderbilt was alive
was abandoned by the family representa-
tive today. when he had an interview
with DIR. Owen Kenan. of Wilmington, n.
c., who is still at a hospital in Queens
town. DIR, Kenan said that he had seen
Mr.. Vanderbilt leaning against a door as
the ship went down, and he exclaimed at
that instant;
''They've got us now!"

motion pictures they had ever witnessed
Lubin treated them to a set of special

AUTOS IN WILD RACE

Neighborhood Reused by Spectacular
Performances of Two Machines.
What appeared to be a race between
two high powered automobiles startled
and aroused residents in the vicinity of
47th street and Baltimore avenue shortly
before midnight, last night. The first
car narrowly missed smashing into
Baltimore avenue trolley car Both cars
swung into Baltimore avenue and dlsap-
peared in a cloud of dust. They turned
into a side street. and a moment later
were back at 47th street and Baltimore
avenue. Several turns were taken and
then the machines disappeared northward
on 47th street. Spectators thought that
the first machine was being stolen and
the second car was in pursuit, but the
police have no record of stolen car. The
cars were making at least 70 miles an
hour on the straightaway, according to
spectators. They nearly upset when TAX
