Sept. 1 The first thing that the Prince of Wales did when he was free from his rounds of. offirial calls was to mount his favorite polo pony, Kitty, ami send the little white balls bounding and hurtling through the air down the private polo field of William H. race at Old ten miles from here. Wales returned from Washington late Saturday night.

He was on the polo Held shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morning. And what was more, he would not until he had ridden four of Ms eight ponies, and had forced his two polo companions. E. L). Metcalf, his personal aide and equerry, and Capt.

Frank Miller, assistant polo manager at Meadow-brook, to leave the field partially ex hausted. It was not until a quarter cf on-' that the Prince signaled that he was through. He had been continually in the saddle for one and a half hours. "Hi-i-i-i-i' I Ray! What! Yes!" Accents very BritHh time across the field as the heir to the throne of Great Britain struck at the hall and dashed madly after It. The Prince was enjoying himself.

It was a relief to get away from the Berengarla's gymnasium and the interminable pacing of the great steamer's decks. 'Yesterday was Wales' first real outing in America. According to his assistant equerry. David Boyle, the Prince arose at 9 o'clock. He breakfasted on cantaloupe, hominy, or grits, as It is called 1 Mis Rosalie with lior "victory smile." 2Mlss Jones and her "towing" car in the foreground, showing her holding the three-strand cord will' wli(cl) "lowcti" over 125 motorcars to her property yesterday.

and Mrs. Roger Wtnthrop, who are acting as his host and hostess during the Burdens' ab nco in have left for their home in Westbury, the Prince changed Into his polo togs. Wears Regulation Outllt. These consisted of the regulation boots, cut rather low. riding breeches of a soft brown color, a heavy woolen jersey with sleeves ami ft high collar.

Hi3 polo helmet was of the regulation type but of kahkt hue. The Prince did not wear spurs. He called for his open touring Rolls-Royce motoicar. There are five of trie English machines in the Burden gaiage with their five chauffeurs. Yesterday morning it fell lo the lot ol George Pulley to take the wheel.

All of the drivers are experts, and all know the Long Island roads thoioughiy. At 10:55 o'clock the Prince entered his machine. W'ithhim went Major Metcalf, his constant polo Ambassador's Return Starts Anew the C. O. P.

Discussion of Candidates. The return from Europe yesterday Alanson B. Houghton, American Ambassador to Germany, makes possible the revival of his boom for th G. O. I', nomination for Governor of New York.

Houghton was declared to be L'. S. Senato- Wadsworth'a candidate six weeks ago. when Speaker Machold was regarded as not in the running. The Ambassador at that time was here for a vacation.

The leadets were discusssing him as a possible candidate for Governor, when President Coolldge requested him to return abroad at once to attend the Ixindon Reparations Conference. With Houghton's departure all talk of his candidacy ceased. In his absence the leaders again decided that every effort should be made to force Speaker Macho'd to accept the nomination, it bring assumed that Houghton would be awry until after the convention. The Ambassador has returned, however, and it will be Interesting to see how the uf-Sfate leaders re- gard him as a possible candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. Houghton will go to Washington today, before starting his vacation at his home at Corning.

N. Y. While Speaker Machold apparently has enough support to be nominated on the first ballot at Rochester, the Speaker insists that he is paving no attention to the governorship. He declared on Saturday that he might ave a statement to make this wertk. The leaders have received permission to use Machold's name in an tffortlo see whether or not there is any sentiment for him In New York t'ity.

It Is more than likely that Mr. Machold will wait to hear how well he would run below the Bronx before declaring himself. Mr. Machold's friends are confi dent that he will accept and some have gone so far as to say that the Speaker has already made up hl mind to run. Wit the Democrats at a loss for candidate acceptable to all hands, with prospects of another squabble at Syracuse, Machold could afford to come boldly forward, his friends say.

During the past week there has een some talk of former Attorney General Charles D. Newton for Gov ernor. Newton. It wl'l be remembered, ran nearly 40,000 votes ahead of Governor In 1918. Although he lives up-State, New ton has a law office in New York City and Is as well known here as of the G.

1 It was learned here today that where the Prince of Wales lept In his special train for Washington early Saturday morning, he was Idled to sleep by- the strictly rural hum of crickets and other little eerie voices of the hours before dawn. Yet Syosset is not quite as rural as one map be led to believe, for the little community has clustered within its boundaries some of the very finest homes In the section of the North Shore. The nearest neighbors to the Prince are Robert E. Tod, former Immigration Commissioner, and Charles A. Van Renssalser.

Within the radius of Syosset boundary lines are the country homes nf the following well-known persons Winthrop W. Aldrich, son of the late 1'nited Stales Senator Nelson Al drich; Kdward L. Burrlll who married Miss Loew, granddaughter of George F. Baker, banker and philanthropist; Van Duzer Burton, son-in-law of Sir Ashley Sparks, resi dent director fthe Cunard line, Van Henry Cartwell, Lewis Stuy- vesant Chanler Henry E. Coe Walter Farwell, whose wife was decorated by the French Legion of Honor for her war service: Lowry Gillett, Henry F.

Godfrey; Lloyd C. Griscom, Mrs. C. T. Ilavemeyer, Lewis Cass Ledyaro, Victor Mora- wet z.

Borden Harriman, Mrs. P. Tailer, Kdward R. Tinker and W. Willock.

Yes there Is the hum of Ihe field voices and also the purr of the most expensive motorcars made, as they cut by the fields and vast acre ages under cultivation. One. of the most unusual adjuncts of Woodside. the Burden estate, Is the "arinillary sphere," located di rectly in front of the main doorway to the mansion. It is one of the first things one observes In enter ing the confines of the estate.

An "arinillary sphere" to the uninitiated is a succession of bronze rings ar ranged on an axis which are de signed to show the relation of the various constellations and planets. They are of very old origin and arc rarely seen in this country. The Pur den estate is one of the few Long Island places to have this unusual feature, nearly all show places of the sections having the ornamental sun dials amj gazing balls instead. LOAN TO GERMANY TILL SKIES CLEAR No Negotiations Until Germans Pay Initial Sums of Transitory Period. Taris, Sept.

1 i By the Associated Press) Active negotiations between the German Covernment and hankers of New Y'ork and London for the loan of 800.0Do.000 gold marks pro- vided for undi the Dawes are being deferred. They will not be started. It is understood, until the latter half of this month, or until a favorable atmosphere is created by Germany! ptompt payment of the sums agreed upon for the transitory period and the economic and military evacuation of the Ruhr by the French and Belgians has made considerable progress. President Sohacht of the R-ichs-bank and Dr. Luther, the Finance Minister, who are likely to be the German Goverment's representatives In dealing with the bankers, have not yet been formally appointed.

When they are designated they will meet the American and Knglish bankers in London to fix the terms of the loan, which up to the presen' have been discussed only within vague limits during Ihe sessions of the London conference. It is expected the duration of the loan will he somewhere between 5 and 20 years, and an 8 percent interest rate seems to be considered about right.

Diligent search today disclosed that the disciples of Rudolph Val entino can change their make-ups and become "Walesea," sartorialiy speaking, and still have left a dime fiom their $35 salaries with which to buy themselves a trolley ride In the home of Ihe best girl to exhibit the very latest thing in male attire.

They will each have left a nlekel to gel home on, too. if the best girl, like the fashion writers, thinks the clothing land particularly the socks) atrocious. The sheiks beg pardon, the piinces can purchase a double- Mi east ed suit of gray flannel in more than one shop at $22.50. (Many clothing stores are now having sales. If they are not too particular, there are powder blue soft shirts to be ohlained at $1.85.

A red and blue striped tie can be bought with out any trouble for 75 cents. A 'kerchief for the coat pocket (not show ing very much, need not necessarily be oj silk) can be secured for 60 cents. Cocoa-shaded buckskin oxfords ve not as plentiful as other footwear but with broad toes, and nearly matching the Prince's shoes, can be found for Not Even One Pair in Stores. As a matter of fact, the hardest Job before Brooklyn's prlnccs-to-be is that matter of the pale red socks. A search through a dozen men shops failed to produce one pair, for the haberdashers pointed tint that there have been few calls for red sucks or robin's-egg-blue socks, for that matter in the last few years.

This is attributable perhaps to the fact that with long trousers In the dazzling socks wouldn't show, anyway, why wear "em? But one enterprising store owner has solved Ihe problem and there is no need for the prlnces-to-be to get headaches worrying over this little question of foot covering. "Buy a pair of white cotton ones, uiged the haberdashei, "and a bottle of red ink. Dye the socks, and If you get 'em too red, just rinse 'em until you get that much-to-be-de- sired pale red." This costs 20 cents. Brooklyn barbers pointed out that sheiks will have Ititle trouble In changing their haircombs to conform witli the "Trince." style. "Wash out all the dressing needed for the sheik style and put in to make the hair lay flat and straight back; part it on the left side, and you've got It," they assert.

All other changes cost nothing. Instead of looking soulful, look happy. Smile and be gracious hut just a least little bit shy. Sheiks with caveman tactics discard all roughness. Only one other thing should be remembered by the prlnces-to-be make the girls all want to dance with you and you certainly are a prince.

FROIJ BURHS AFTER SAVING 5 CHILDREN Takes Them From Van Brunt St. House While Dress is on Fire. Mrs. Joseph Dementi was resting quietly today recovering from burns she received yesterday when her clothing caught fire from an unexpected blast of flame from the gat-stove In her rooms at 76 aVnBrun: when she was preparing break-fasnv She did not mind the loss of $800, her life's savings, which were burnfld up In her pocketbook before the firemen reached the place, for her five little children were safe. She had brought them out of the fire al ihe risk of her life and It was not until she felt sure that they were beyond the reach of the flames that she submitted to medical attention.

When the flame shot out from the gas range It caught the dress she was wearing. She beat it out with her hands and then started to rescue her children, for surrounding woodwork had caught fire. She got Peter. 10 and Manuel, 8 out of the house first. Then she went back for the others Rose, 13 months, 2 and Mary, 5, who were sleeping in a nearby bedroom, he gathered Hose and Nicholas In iier arms and told little Mary to follow her.

When the children were out of danger and Mrs. Dementi discovered that her gown was still afire. She was palnfuily burned on the neck, body and arms before neighbors beat out the flames. There was a rumor when the firemen got to ihe house that a tenant had been trar.ped in rooms on the top floor, and Fireman Martin J. Mo-Namara climbed a ladder to the 3 1 floor, but found no one there.

He was pretty well overcome himself and' his mates played streams of water around him to cool him off as he descended to the street again. Mrs. Dementi's rooms were pretty well burned out and the purse with her savings was destroyed. CROWD OF 50,000 EXPECTED TO SEE BIG MATCH RACE (Continued from Page 1.) The jockey had a good hold of the horse's head and Epinard came on easily to finish in 48 seconds. Some watches in the stewards pagoda registered 47 4-5 hut most, including those of Sam HMdreth and Ma Hirsch marked 4 8 seconds.

Zev, who is now regarded as Epi--nard's strongest opponent was out a few minutes earlier than the French horse. Ho wore his blinkers and was accompanied by Mad "Hatter. Zev worked a most, impressive half mile at the following rate: 11 3-5, 22 4-5, 3V35, 47. The four year old held Mad Hatter all the way and he is ready to give a good account of himself today. It will be remembered that Mr.

Werthelmer was eager to send F.pinard to this country for the Zev-Papyrus race last fall. For this reason the present series in which Ihe horses will meet three times the other races'are the mile at Aqueduct on Sept. 27. and the nyle and a quarter at Latonla on Oct. 11, hold unusual Interest.

Ladkin, the Belmont, represent atives, whoBe speed when right Is equal to that of any horse In train ing, had his final trial late on Sat urday. Despite the fact that Major Belmont thinks the colt is not at the top of his form, the big chestnut reeled off the furlongs smoothly in Ihe following fractional time: 113-5, 22 4-5, 344-6, 47 3-5, 1 minute, 1:13 3-5. Werthelmer "Hopes for the Best." Mr. Werthelmer spent some time in consultation with Trainer Leigh at the stable, after Epinard had been put away.

Borton, Sept. 1 Proclaiming the arrival of a new political cleavage based on economic division, assailing' by name his adversary candidates, and summoning the citizens of Massachusetts to what he declared was their heriditary tradition of Innovating in national Senator Wheclorvpf Montana on Boston Common today opcued his campaign as vice-presidential candidate on the La Foliette ticket.

Again and again he criticised President Coolidge, whom he termed the "mythically strong, silent, -watchful man who occupies thu presidential chair," and attacked satirically Charles G. Dawes, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, for "his gallant service In war on Organized Labor," while he referred to John W. Davis, Democratic standard bearer, as "a man who would be willing, it seems, tj out- Coolidge Coolldge as a neivtnt of Wall Street." For himself. Senator Wheeler said, he would welcome a classification as radical, to help the revolt against "living under the dictatorship of a small class that controls the financial resources of the country." asserted the only issue If the day-was that of "returning the Government to the representatives of thv people," for, he added, the two old parties, "in everything but name, are now as alike as the Gold Dust Twins" In their subserviency to "control ot single dominant power of financial, industrial and commercial interests centering" In Wall Street. For ammunition lo support his attack, the.

Montana Senator depends much upon the record of the Sena torial Committee which Investigated the official conduct of former Attorney General Daugherty, most of which was brought out by himself as prosecutor. Corruption in government, which he said had been exposed, he treated as an inevtablo result of "financial control." Declaring that the Republican and Democratic parties have long since ceased to "represent distinct lines cf economic thought and interest," the candidate continued; "They have fallen under control of a single dominant power, which, uses them lo further its own Interests. Instead of a government of the people, by the people, for the pople, we have a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, for Wall Street, i use the term Wall Street to desgnate the Industrial and com mercial interests centering in that crooked lane Iq lower New Yorlt Ctiy. "This opportunity was not embraced, of course, by the representa lives of the predatory class who met it Cleveland in June. They nominated Calvin Coolidge.

We all hoped that the Democratic Convention would accept this open challenge to the people, hut in thisihope. and this belief the subtle power ot Wall Street was underestimated. 'The Democratic.

"General Dawes Iuse the title General in memory of his gallant service as commander of the minute men In his war on organized labor) says the issue is conservatism vs.

"The General, bluff soldier that he is, finds no issue between his party and the Doinocrmlc Party and names none.

Reporter Finds Prince Most Courteous, But His Answers Prove Evasive (Special fo The F.aple.) Syosset, L. Sept, 1. "No, I shan't play in the Internationals!" The answer of the I'rince of War as to whether he would take an active part In the American-British polo games, starting this Saturday, was definite.

"But I shall be then: jolly well often, you know." Kdward Albert of the House of Windsor smiled. It was the smile of a healthy, happy "hoy on vacation." Wales is just past 30 years, although he. looks barely 113. He is handsome. with a manlv face and eyes which, when they look at you, make your neart go out to this little, lighl-liaired Prince of KtiKland.

The "Interview" they are hard to get with the Prince took place at the W. R. Grace Polo Field at West-bury, it was short. Hut It showed that the I'rince was quite able to take matters into his own Ittuls when necessary. "Why did you follow me?" was the Prince's question.

He was going to do some of the "interviewing'' himself, apparently. "I hope you will not do it again," was his next assertion, but In a bashful way as if to give even this mild rebuke was foreign to his makeup. "Because it was the only way to find out what you are doing," was the reply he received. The I'rince prefers straight dealing. He detests those who cringe and make themselves ridiculous over his rank.

"I don't quite understand, you know." the Prince said. He has a decided British accent, now and then hesitates just a little, and puts in a generous supply of "whats." "you knows" and "I say." Reporter Miplalns Dilliculiics. Then the reporter told him of the didlculties through which the newspapermen assigned to "cover" him are going through. She told him It was Miss Kohinson of the Daily News who had the interview wif'n the Prince how the reporters were kept outside the Burden estate, more than 500 yards away from the house and not in sight of it; how none of his aids would consent to meet the news gatherers at any specified time, or at any lime at all, and how "following" was the only means of finding out anything at all about his doings. She asked that two confer ences a day be held with the newspaper men and women at 11 In the morning and at 7 in the evening, (if course his secretaries, not the Prince, would attend for the royal household.

"Shall we start tonight?" the Prince asked. "Would It do to tell you where I have been after I have To the second question a negative answer was given, in a most polite way. The I'rince was told that American newspapers couldn't wait that lone. The i'rince promised to "see that things are made right." anil thereby gladdened the hearts of all newspaper men as signed to Syosset and vicinity. Then the reporter started In to question the i'rince on more intimate matters: "What did you have for break fast.

Prince?" he w-as asked. "What difference can that make?" He was incredulous. that really interest the American pub lic?" he added. Assured that it did, and that the people could not read enough about him, the Prince smiled, and then fixed his eyes on his questioner ready for the next phase of the attack. 'What are your plans for the near luture? was the next question.

'There is no definite program Again the Prince smiled. "Isn't that nice. That's what I call a real vacation." Just then one of his ponies was brought up. He extended his hand. and with a "thank you so much swung himself Into the saddle, and soon was galloping down the field driving the little white polo ball before him.

Can't Get Down, What? Yes! Says Prince, He Was Right; Plays Better Polo Today. (Hppi ial to The Kcnle.l Syosset, L. Sept. 1 "I can't get down to'lt. What? Yes!" was the exclamation made by the I'rince of Wales as he fumbled strokes yes terday on the W.

R. Grace polo field. The Prince was right, he did not "get down to it." His playing yesterday was not. ex actly excellent, but under the circumstances and as he was unmis takably suffering from a slight cold, it was quite commendable. Today he showed a marked Improvement.

His shots were more accurate, and he had a greater drive. His backhand strokes, considered by many polo players as the most difficult of all, were particularly satisfactory. Wales can ride and he-has a good eye in judging the ball. He seldom misses the little white cube alto-geilur. but he did yesterday fumble the ball somewhat often.

It seemed to this writer that the I'rince rode with his stirrups shorter than most of the Knglish polo players are in the habit of doing. The majority of players, especially the Knglish poloists. ride with a very long stirrup. This gives them the opportunity to easily rise In the stirrups and get the maximum body swing with the mallet. The I'rince used a short stirrup much shorter than that used by Ins companion, Major Metcalf.

He Is a handy rider, sedom fretting his horse and seeming to get the most from the animal. His seat Is firtn and the position of his body is good ynd graceful. Yesterday was not a fair (est for the I'rince. He acquitted himself very satisfactorily, and, what is better than all else, he frankly admits that he is not of international polo caliber at the present lime. Very few- men really are.
