ANNAPOLIS GETS
HOOVER REGRET.

Theodore G.. Joslin, secretary
to President Hoover, today char
acterized as IAN unfortunate and
regrettable misunderstanding" the
episode in Annapolis, Md, Satur-
day which Mayor Walter E. Quen-
stedt took as a personal effront.
The mayor had written the
President asking why he and an
official welcoming party. had been
passed by at high speed by the
Presidential motorcade en- route
to the naval Academy dock to
board the battleship Arkansas
Said Mr.. Joslin:
Neither the President, the
secretaries, nor his aide knew
anything about any arrange
ments for the mayor to meet
the President at the city line.
Apparently, somehow, the Sc
cret Service man who had been
making arrangements for the
trip, understood the mayor was
to be at the dock.
"When the Secret Service
man, who alone knew of any
arrangements, saw the mayor
and the party at the city line,
he suggested they go down to
the dock and meet the Presi-
dent there. It was just an
unfortunate misunderstanding,
