His Royal HighneSS Stays
Out All Night Rumor
Says It Was Great
Party,

By United Press
T7YOSSET. L. l.. Sept. p
The Prince OF Wales had a
L. night out last night.
The heir to the British throne
returned to the Burden estate at
Syosset at a. m. today. accom-
panied by only one secret service
man and a chauffeur. having COM
pletely outwitted a score of report
ers bent on following all his activi-
ties. Wales went 70 bed at once
and was still sleeping soundly at
II a. m.
All sorts Of rumors as to where
H. r. II. had spent the night were
in circulation and the United Press
finally got the story from a mem
Der of the Princes staff appointed
for that purpose. who said the
Prince dined and spent e gay and
extended visit at the home Of Dew
ereaux Milburn, captain of the
American polo team.
Party Was Success
The big Milburn estate on Long
Island had been especially pre-
pared for the British heir. and, ac-
cording to backstairs gossip. the
party was a great success.
Dressed in a tuxedo jacket. with
white trousers and his new turn
down-brim Panama hat, the Prince
motored alone to the AIilburn es-
state. where he met informally a
party Of fifteen. including Tommy
Hitchcock of the American polo
team and other horsemen.
There was dancing after dinner
and later a swim. The party con-
tinued until dawn.
But the Prince left no broken
hearts behind. as none of the Long
Island debs was invited.
Like a Canned Dog"
How would you like TO spend
your vacation feeling like a dog
with Il string Of tin cans tied TO
your tail?"
IF this sort of thing keeps up
His Royal FTighness viii simply
leave and so somewhere where he
can have a little privacy on his
holiday"
Thus spoke a member OF the
Prince Of Wales staff today reg
isteriug the objections Of Britain's
heir apparent TO the manner in
which his daily excursions from
the Burden estate draw an ever
increasing caravan Of cars con-
tanning newspaper men and idly
curious Long Islanders until wha
was intended as a private spin
assumes the aspect Of a parade.
For all the world like cats creep
ing from every alley 10 new along
at the tailboard Of the meat
wagon. the hivvers Of Long Island
are getting the habit Of picking
up Wales trail.
