Senator Walker, who spent ten years
in the Legislature with the Surrogate

Senate, wished the former minority
leader of that body all sorts of luck.
I'VE of the Legislature are glad tc
see you elevated to position for which
you are so conspicuously fitted, and we
do not hesitate to express our senti-
ments without reserve, upon this occa-
sion. AS legislator your services were
conspicuous for their practical oon-
structive value. You were always
raightforward, hardworking and thor
oughly conscientious. Your efforts
were effective because of the intelli-
gence and the sincerity of purpose that
directed them. SO, while we offer you
ngratulations, we may also take oc-
casion to suggest that it may be neces-
sary to draft you back into the service
Of the state, and we trust that if the
occasion arises you will heed the call

Maeterlinck Soon
Loses His Hatred
of American Life
Belgian Poet, Who Baked
at Leaving Villa in Nice.
Admits He Has Changed
His Mind About the u. s.

Maurice Maeterlinck. the Belgian
poet, has changed his mind about
America. Before he came here he
hated the thought Of leaving the
flowers of his villa, at Nice, and living
under the New York elevated railroad.
But now that he has arrived he likes it
tremendously.
lie said as much at luncheon given
in his honor yesterday in the studio of
A. A. Anderson, so West Fortieth
Street, within earshot of the Sixth Ave-
nue. H." Henry Russell, a lifelono
friend of the poet and one who was
largely instrumental in bringing him to
America, told how reluctant to come
the poet had been.
Mr.. Russell read letter from his
son, sheridan. who taught English to
mr.; Maeterlinck in preparation for his
lectures. Every time l start to give
MN MS lessons in English" the letter
says: Now that the autumn rains have M q
refreshed the earth, look how beautiful
my flowers are! If your father loved
me as much as he pretends he would
not make me go to America
Ihen | showed him the letter from
the. Belgian Ambassador in Paris. Of
fering him diplomatic passport, He
at once went up in the air and said.
What bosh! Anybody would think
was going to talk in America about the
league of nations
Having failed to get him to accept
diplomatic passport, I told him that
you had written and cabled for photo
graphs of him and Selysette. Again
he let off steam, saying, What do thew
take me for? Am | Gaby Deslys =
And l can't get him to learn his lecture
IN English. He is alternately cursing
you, America and the English Ian
guage"
At one time, according to Mr.. Rus
sen, the poet reported with regret that
'Oh, | am so sorry" said Mr.. Rus
sell: Did you hurt yourself?
"No; that's just the trouble replied
Maeterlinck. 81 wish l had broken my
leg and given myself a good excuse for
breaking my contract and not going to
America"
MIR. Maeterlinck yesterday responded
to Mr.. Russell with an address, in
which he praised the United States.
He then proposed a toast to lAmerique
in Mr.. Anderson's private stock.

Oratorio Tenor Charms
In Secular Recital
Lambert Murphy Gives Pleasing
Concert in Aeolian Hall ON
New Years Day

Lambert Murphy, tenor, long a shin
ing light in oratorio and in concerts
OF sacred music, began the year by Civ
ing recital at Aeolian Hall yesterday
afternoon. The odor Of sanctity which
often clings to artists who have de-
voted themselves for any length Of time
to church music is agreeably absent
from his singing. He has not allowed
his style to become cramped. He ex-
presses purely secular emotions with
conviction. His singing has warmth
and finish.
Have Been So Wondrous Free" and "My
Generous Heart Disdains," group Of
songs by Fourdrain, Faure, Cui, Paulin
and Szulc, were among the most enjoy
able numbers of an unconventional
program. This tenor sings ballads and
Irish folk songs delightfully."-. Three
Irish airs, "Would God Were the Ten
der Apple Blossom" molly Rawn" and
HAS Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded u
were the features Of the last group,
which ended with Geoffrey O'Hara's 8
effective "There Is No Death" Mr..
Murphy gave great pleasure to q large
audience and added many encores.
In the evening, at the same hall, Miss
Catalina Forteza played the piano to a
small audience. Miss Forteza's most
conspicuous characteristic at present is
crudeness. She distorted Schumann's
"Fantasiestuecke" almost beyond recog-
milton by initiating the little pieces un-
til they became not the fanciful ex.
preston of moods, but laundering as
sertions. Miss Forteza is not without
technic, but the clearness of her exc.
cution was marred by her excessive use
of the loud pedal.

made among Republican county chair
men and committeeman by Gustaf Lind

II merely asked each committeeman
and each county chairman to give me
his best judgment as to the preference
of Republicans in his section. Returns
still are coming in, but / have heard

popular among those who seldom have

performances Of the high priced COM
panies.
The first schedule of performances
follows:
Sunday evening, January II, at the
Y. NJ. H. A. of Washington Heights.

anxious for him to make the race, and
it is thought by Democrats generally
that he would be as effective vote.
getter as the Democrats could name.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never been ro-
garded as friendly to the Tammany
organization, but Tammanv has ~
hatred for him that might not easily
be overcome, it is declared. Inciden-
tally. Mr.. Roosevelt would have tho
hearty support Of Frank L. Polk, Tn
der Secretary Of State and influential
IN New York Democrats politics. Mr..
Polk has frequently been mentioned
in connection with the Senatorial race
himself, but asserted he had no idoa
Of entering the fight.
II want to get back TO private life"
Mr.. Polk said.
Democrats who are backing Mr..
Roosevelt for the nomination profess
to believe that despite the big RepuN-
lican tendency in New York be would
have an excellent chance of beating
Senator Wadsworth They point ID
the opposition to Wadsworth from the
suffragists and "drys," and assert that
the big Republican vote in greater
New York in the municipal election
had no national significance whatever.
II am too busy trying to get tho
navy demobilized to talk about poll
tics" said Mr.. Roosevelt when asked
about it. "That is what / am writing
to every one who sends me letter
suggesting that ] run. Further. q
happens to be the truth. And even
the primary is long time off"
Senator Wadsworth and Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt are close personal
friends. It's Frank and Jimmy
when they meet. At social gathering
recently where they met by chance tho
two agreed that if they fought eacn
other for the Senatorship they would
save expenses during the campaign by
using the same hall each night, using
the same drawing room on sleeping
cars and using the same automobile,
They further agreed that they would
not abuse each other any more than
necessary, but would confine them
selves to issues rather than personals
ties.

Get Lucky Tips in Dreams.

but hurries to get his dream book to
find out what the dream portends. The
book has number for everything man
wears has, eats and sees. Things
shown In a dream are looked up, and
the corresponding numbers are played
by the Italian in the weeks national
lottery. And If he doesn't win, says
Kenneth L. Roberts in the Saturday

at him and broken his chances. The
man with the Evil Eye is hated, feared
