MCCORMICK SILENT
ON MARITAL AFFAIRS
Arrives in France, But Refuses to
Say Whether He Will
Join Wife.
BY the Associated Press.

CHERBOURG. France, January 80.
Harold F. Mccormick, when he ar
rived here yesterday from New York
on board the steamer Deutschland,
declined to answer when he was asked
whether he was going to join his wife,
Gamma Walska, in Paris. A member
of his party told newspaper men that
the Chicago millionaire already had
denied rumors that he intended to d.
vorce Nine. Walska. The presence
beside Mr.. Mccormick of an attorney.
Bradley Goodyear, however, caused
some speculation.
Mr.. Mccormick gave the address to
which he is proceeding in Paris as IA
Rue de Lubbock, where his wife is al.
ready installed.
Gamma Walska. operate singer and
wife of Harold F. Mccormick, arrived
at Havre from New York on the liner
Paris several days ago and proceeded
to Paris. She refused to discuss her
marital relations. Passengers on the
liner said Nine. Walska explained to
them that Mr.. McCormick's failure to
sail with her after he had reserved
accommodations on the Paris was due
to his brothers sudden illness. She
expressed no surprise when she was
informed that Mr.. Mccormick was
aboard the Deutschland bound for
Europe.

The spoken drama mas kept the motion
