Questioned whether she "hated to go to the dentists" she replied, That wouldn't be fair to Doctor Cartee." (Dr. Horace L. Cartee will perform the dental operation this afternoon.)
 The Duke said that the war made it impossible now for him to plan very far in advance, but that they hoped to visit New York and other parts of the United States later. A crowd estimated by police at 10000 damned about the dock to view the Windsors.
 Close At Hand
 At the hospital the Duke will re- main close at hand. The couple will occupy a three-room suite on the second floor of the hospital, owned by the Sisters of St. Francis, Alleg- heny, N. Y. Their ronls face north east with a view of the ocean two blocks away. ..
 Axel Wenner- -Gren, Swedish in- dustrialist who owns the Southern Cross, and his wife accompanied the Windsors on the overnight voyage from Nassau whence they sailed at 3::30 D. m. yesterday. The party in- cluded Captain Vyvyan Drury, the Dukes equerry, Scotland Yard de- tective, two servants and the Duchess three dogs.
 The war and the Dukes duties as governor of the Bahamas have pre- vented them paying a ceremonial visit. The trip was made only be- cause the Duchess was advised to avail herself of suitable hospital facilities for the operation, official sources emphasized.
 They have accepted no invitations for social engagements or public appearances because the Duchess will need several days of rest before returning to Nassau and because, with the empire at war, the Duke wishes to avoid all show.
 Hospital Simplicity
 Simplicity is the keynote of St. Francis hospital and both the Dukes and Duchess rooms are equipped with hospital beds, al- though additional furniture has been put in them for a more home like appearance. A bath connects the suite.

Levi of Miami Beach and Paul D. McGarry of Coral Gables; J. Lamar Paxson, chairman of Dade County Commis- sioners; Stephen Childs, counsellor of the British Embassy at Washing ton; J. A. Marjoribanks, British consul at Jacksonville: Lewis A. Otes, British vice consul here, and Terence F. MacGrath of the Nassau development board.

 The duke discussed the attempts to make the islands more self-suffi- cient. now that the war has made ocean shipping difiicult. He told of a 4,O00-acre agricultural development which was bringing quantities of fresh milk to the Bahamas for the first time.
 The duke said the islands might in time be made self-sufiicient," but that he doubted whether they should be SO because T think 1t very neces- sary for our contacts with America that we should continue to trade with her, and with the empire"
