The Washington times., 1924-09-11

1t has been announced that the
Prince of Wales will stick it out
even If the international polo
matches string out as long as the
late lamented Democratic conven-
ton. But the British Ambassador,
Sir Esme Howard. and Lady
Isabella Howard, who went to
Long Island to greet the Prince
and view the polo have given up
the latter as a bad job and re-
turned today to Manchester, Mass,
where the embassy is established
for the summer.
The Spanish Ambassador, Senior
Riano, had expected to return to
the embassy tomorrow or next day
after having gone to New York to
meet the Duke and Duchess Of
Alba, but no information has been
received at the embassy as to
whether or not the delay will
cause a change in his plans.
1t seems likely, however, that he
will remain until the games are
over as the Duke of Alba and Ber-
wick came to this country especially
to represent the polo loving King
of Spain at the international
matches. Madame Riano is expected
at the legation on September 16
and will come from York Harbor,
where she has been visiting her
brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chandler Anderson. 1t was eX-
pected that she would join the am
bassador in New York, but apparent
ly that. project has been given up.
The Minister of Egypt, S. Yousry
Pasha, came home today after
spending the week in New York
but may possibly return later for
one or more of the matches.

The Secretary of War, John w.
Weeks, endeavored to combine the
welcoming of the round the world
f1iers in New York with attend

but was obliged to come home
when the match was put off. And
1t is not certain whether or not
his engagements will permit a
further attempt to view this great
sporting event.
AS for General Pershing he has
made two trips to New York IN the

return yesterday has been caught

Both times he went to New York
the general was able to combine
other important matters with an
attempt to see the polo, so that his
time was not wasted. Last Satur-
day he said bon voyage to his
son, Warren Pershing, who sailed
to enter school in Switzerland: and
on Tuesday he attended a dinner
given in his honor by the Govern
ment Club of New York, at which
such notables as James w. Gerard,
