When the Liner Docks

Mrs. Sohn F. Hylan, wife of the
Mayor, who had been abroad ON trim
OF SIX weeks, came home yesterday on
the French liner Paris from iavre and
AFTER a two-minute talk with her hus-
band informed him that she hadn't the
slightest desire to move to Albany. She
said she would rather have him divide
his time between City Hall and Brook
lyn and let some one else preside over
the destinies of the state.
The Mayor laughed, and with his
arm still around the waist of his part-
ner for thirty-two years he said to the
newspaper men: "Did you hear that 7
Mrs. Hylan said she would rather have
me stay here in this city, so the Gov
ernorship, in so far as ! am concerned,
certainly is settled now"
Mrs. Sinnott, the Mayors daughter.
who left her thirteen months old SON
IN charge of her father, wasn't at all
interested in politics. AS soon as the
Mayor and Commissioner Grover
Whalen boarded the Paris down the
Bay from the Coast Guard cutter, Mrs.
Sinnott wanted to know ali about the
baby. Why didn't daddy bring him
down to meet her? Was he in good
health. and how did he get along with
grandpa? Mrs. Sinnott was more in
terested in the two teeth that the
BABY was expected to cut than she was
with the affairs of City Hall.
Baby Center of Interest
When the matter Of the teeth came
up yesterday on the promenade deck
OF the Paris the Mayor remarked with
some show Of pride: "You needn't
bother about those teeth, for both
came through yesterday"
The Mayor explained to his daugh-
ter that he would have brought his
grandson down the Bay to meet her,
but the hour of departure from the
Battery was a bit too early for him, so
he compromised with the little fellow
by letting him 60 to the French Line
pier at Fourteenth Street and the
North River in the care of his great
aunt, Mrs. George O'Hara.
When the vessel docked and the
Sinnott babys,had found haven in the
arms of his mother the Mayor came
ashore. AS soon as his grandson saw
him he protested at the apparent neg
lect Of the city's chief executive and
compelled the latter to take him into
his arms.
New York Girls Come First
Mrs. Hylan and her daughter ex-
pressed delight over their return to
New York. They said that in all their
travels they had seen no girls quite as
fine as those of New York "They
create styles in Paris" said the May
or's wife, "but it takes the New York
girls to wear them to advantage"
AS the Paris steamed up the Bay
Mayor Hylan put his arm around his
wife's shoulder and led her to the rail
"I'm awfully glad to have you back,
he said. Then, turning to the group OF
friends beside him, the Mayor re-
marked that his wife is his best pal.
"We have been pals for thirty two
years." he said, "and will celebrate the
thirty-second anniversary of our mar.
riage September "a. Mrs. Hylan needed
a rest, but if it were not for the good
of her health she would not have gone
abroad"
Another traveller on the Paris was
Mrs. Ina Clair Whitaker, the actress
who had been abroad for the summer
She said she would soon start rehear-
sails for a new three-act comedy by
Arthur Richman, called "The Plain
Truth" which is to be produced under
the direction of Gilbert Miller.
Among others on the vessel were
Messmore Kendall, Mrs. G. B. William
