QUIET RESIDENCE
Secrecy of Movements Give
Rise to Rumors About
Future Location.
Hy the Associated Press.

.
LIVERPOOL, January 2.-Col.
Charles A. Lindbersh secuted England
today for a home to bring fulfillment
of his self-expressed desire for quiet
and rest in this country"
Because Of the very secrecy imposed
on the movements Of the flying
colonel, Anne and 3-year-old Jon,
many and varied rumors arose as to
their plans for the future.
One report had it that their repre-
sentative, W. H. Gregory of Morgan.
Grenfell & Co., had gone to London
to negotiate for a house in Surrey or
London, with the Lindberghs await
ing his return here before deciding
their plans definitely.
Other runiors insisted the family
still intended to go TO the Llandaf,
Wales, home of j. LleWellyn Morgan,
father of Aubrey Mel Morgan, broth
er-in-law of Mrs Lindbergh.
Family In Seclusion.
The Idndberghs, however. who ar
rived here Tuesday aboard the steam
ship American Importer after a To-
day voyage from New York and es-
tablished themselves unexpectedly In
ldverpoors Adelphi Hotel, still re-
manned in seclusion early today In
their hotel suite.
Col. Lindbergh. who said in short
statement issued by Gregory yesterday,
ct am pleased at the consideration
shown myself and family and am
looking forward to quiet and rest In
this country" found his wishes already
fulfilled in part, even with his plans
still apparently indefinite.
The three Lindberghs remained un-
disturbed in their part of the hotel
from which all other persons-ever
other hotel guests-were excluded.
Small crowds gathered now and ther
before the hotel. but contented them
selves with simply staring. Inside, thu
Lindberghs found their desired seclu'
sion.
Public Curiosity Dropped.
The British press paid scant atten'
ton now to the presence of the famous
flyer and his family, and the public
although seemingly mystifed by th'
great secrecy surrounding the Lind
berghs. appeared willing to let then
do as they pleased unmolested.
Persons passing the Adelphi Hote
obtained today their first glimpse o.
any of the Lindbergh family since the
colonel, Anne and Jon shut themselVe'
in their suite.
Pedestrians saw little Jon press hi
nose to the window and look out a
the heavy fog blanketing the city.
The Lindberghs slept late. They
have not left their suite since the!
entered the hotel Tuesday afternoon
and no calls, no knocks at the dool
are answered by the Lindberghs.
Hotel servants who enter the SUITE
carry keys and unlock the outside
door. knowing their knocks would &c
