 NEW YORK, August Bluhhing and sometimes stammering in his ef- forts toanswer or to parry . baFrage of questions, H, R, H., the Prince of Wales scrambled through the first function of his unofficial visit to the United States when he stepped out of his imperial suite on board the Beren- garia and walked into nest of snipers made up of newspaper reporters and photographers.
 About 150 reporters swarmed ever the prince, while large gentlemen in a red uniform with gold tassels and a saber hung on him showed the crowd back, including young woman report CT who had a question she wanted to ask and who finally put it over in spite of the gorgeous bOdyguard. It was a toss up as to who was the most em- barFassed, the prince of the reporter.
 Had Fine Trip
 As interviews go, that with the royal arrival probably will go down into history as one of the most inadequate on record; The prince was willing and ever eager to answer few shots and get it ever with but when it came time fer the assmhied writers to pro pound their pepperF inquiries they stumbled ever the hurdle of royalty and with but few exceptions none could think of anything more interest ing to inquire about than if the trip had been a gead one. It had been and Edward admitted as much not less than three times curing tne three min utes that he submitted to questions.
 By some freak coincident the very moment when the Bergengaria pulled up at quarantine to receive health of ficers and to put off her distinguished passenger in what was to have been an inconspicious landing about half of the pnengaged boats in New York, harhor congregated at that very spot.
 There may not have been more than q dozen but they sWarmed around the big ship while the moOdist gang of flappers that ever sailed the seas hung over the rail and pOutily wished that they had been born piquant aud Irish, like Miss Leonoro Cahill who, next to the prince himself, was the greatest attraction on the ship because he had chosen her to dance with him on the three. long occasions when he sought partners outside his own party.
 That's Him" ~
 While tugs and smaller craft jock eyed for position around the liner, the prince appeared on the bridge and lit tie yellow-haired girl still in her teens but far enough advanced in them to realize the tremendous importance of young Mir. Windsor, shouted, "There he is. That's him"
 It was, and when an ambitious re- ported organized hat swinging group on one of thetugs to tempt a return salute from the royal passenger, Wales turned on his heel and left the bridge.
 Five minutes later the swarm of re- porters scrambled up rope ladder and bolted for cleared space on 70" deck where it had been arranged for the prince to grant one of the few inter views he has ever given. But for the insistenee of the young woman who came loaded with one question and would not be denied, the exchange of thought between the prince and the reporters would have been about as interesting as a last years crop re port.
 Hatless, sun5urned and swagger, Wales walked quickly from his suite into the crowd which closed over him like q flood. The gentleman with the sabre showed a couple of men back and two more surged up to take their places. Around the prince half a dog en questions belched forth at once and Wales blushed the first of series of blushes. No one caught the questions or his mumbled answers.
 Then, for the first time someone asked him if he had good trip.
 ''Yes, it was nice trip. I'm here on pleasure you know and I hope you
