Dense Crowds at Hotel.
Most of the cardinals left in a body
from the Vanderbilt Hotel. So dense
was the crowd outside the hotel that
it was necessary to divert traffic to
allow the cars through bearing the
party to the station.
Cardinal Faulhaber, Archbishop of
Munich, went to the station alone
from the home of Father Kunig, in
Brooklyn, where he had maintained
the incognito he established at the
start of his journey. Today, how
ever. he abandoned his role Of a Ger
man professor and appeared in his
cardinals robes.
After visiting the engineer and fire
man of the train he extended his
hand, which carried the cardinals
ring outside of red gloves. to the
crowd, which hemmed him in and
allowed over a score to kiss it.

is bitterness between the clerical
party of that kingdom and the ex-
treme Left wing.
