Sylvia Mullen, Il, Asserts
Millionaire Promised to
Adopt Her, Too


NEW YORK, Aug. 7-"Sylvia
Mullen is a very charming little
girl, but certainly have no in
tention of adopting her. She is
just one Of the 1900 to me-
Edward W. Browning, the tall,
debonair, fifty-year-old millionaire
real estate operator, whose adop-
ton of pretty Mary Louise Spas
has drawn a swirl of public criti-
cism about his head, made this
statement today.
It was his reply to the story
told by dainty, golden-haired
Sylvia twelve years old, whose dis
appearance from her home caused
a city-wide Police search. While
the authorities were looking for
her she returned home with a
story that Browning was going to
adopt her.
Story Causes Furore.
Her announcement, coming at a
time when the district attorney was
about to institute an official inves-
legation of the unusual eircum-
stances of the adoption Of Mary
Louise, caused q furofe.
Sylvia was one of the II 900 girls
who applied to Browning 'Vhen he
announced he wanted to adopt a
poor girl who would be companion
to his adopted daughter, Dorothy
Sunshine.
Mary Louise Spas was selected
by Browning Sylvia was said to
be a CLOSE runner-up" in the
''contest"-his second choice, in
fact.
IL am not going to adopt Sylvia,
or anyone else" Browning said to-
day Il hardly know her
Sylvia came to my office yes
other girls who wanted to be adopt
ed by me. and she congratulated
Mary Louise.
I'VE had lunch together group
of us-but that's all there was to
It."
Browning Suggests Party
sylvia's story was that she went
to Browning's office to see Mary's
pretty new clothes and jewels, and
was said to think what she missed.
While there, she said Browning
suggested a party and she, Mary
and the millionaire went to his
palatial apartment at the Kew
Gardens Inn where they had a
glorious time"
Sylvia neglected to tell her
mother when she was going. Dark
ness came on. Her mother became
alarmed and notified the police.
'Mr. Browning said that in just
two weeks he's going to adopt me-
said Sylvia. Think of tim
going to be Cinderella tool"
Mary Louise, meanwhile, having
read the furore of criticism from
public officials, was on the verge
of tears.
Isn't it terribie!' she said Il
