An,nesia Victim,
Cured, Has again
Lost His Memory
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 28.-The mem
victim of Flint, Mich, who was pro-
nounced cured two days ago, fiickered
out again yesterday a few minutes
before he was TO start back for his
home from q hospital here.
On July Neubert, a wealthy real
estate dealer who lost his memory
after business reverses, disappeared
from an Ann -ATbor, Mich, hospital
Twenty-seven years before he had
been sailor and through his mental
fog he groped his way back to the
sea. On July 8 he was found on the
Manhattan water front, with only 81
in his possession.
Today Il friend, A. l.. Austin, was
to take him back to his home and
invalid wife But when Il physician
went to Neubert's room TO give him
final examination he found the man,
who had been a cheerful conYalescent
shortly before, sitting at his window
in a daze, mumbling that the harbor
below was the Detroit River. Asked
his name, he stared blankly. At in
tervals he spoke the name of his
adopted daughter, Mary.
Physicians attributed his relapse to
the publicity his case has attracted
and the strain of mentally adjusting
his former seafaring life with his
business career and his present situa-
tion. 1t was said, however, that he
may be taken home TO recover in sur
roundings that may bring him back
in touch with his recent life.

of a large field about seven miles from
the city near Bethesda, Md, as a park
ing ground for klansmen who will

mobiles. They will leave their cars
at that point, he said, and come into
Washington on street cars, thereby
eliminating an additional automobile
parking problem in the city during
the parade.
