Wessington Name of George Washington's Ancestors, Tt took Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard a couple of years to dis- cover, after research in Europe, that George Washington's ancestors were named Wessington, but a Washing- tonian got the information in a few minutes, the Soclety of Natives of the District of Columbia was advised last night at its meeting. Fred A. Emery, who brought the matter to the attention of the gathering, in about 6 minutes’ quest in his library discovered these facts: “Willlam de Hertburn, who lived a century after Willlam the Con- queror, purchased in 1183 the manor and village of Wessyngton; in the diocese of Durham, in England. As was customary in those days, De Hertburn adopted the name of his estate, becoming De Wessyngton. Prominent in the family were Wil- liam Weschington, supporter of Henry 1II in the wars of the barons; Sir Stephen de Wessington, chevalier of Edward 11I; Sir William of the Privy Society of Natives Told Council of Durham; John, the learned and energetic prior of the Benedic- tines, and Lieut.

John married and had several children, of whom Law- rence was the grandfather of George ‘Washington. ILawrence had several children, and his second son, Augus- tine, who was married twice, was the father of George Washington. “‘On May 2, 1792, George Washing- ton wrote this letter, in answer to an inquiry concerning his ancestry, to Sir Isaac Heard in London: ‘I have often heard others of the family, older than myself, say that our an- cestors who first settled in this coun- try came from some one of the north- ern counties of England, but whether from Lancashire, Yorkshire or one still more northerly, I do not precisely remember."

The return decision was made when the plane reached a point two miles beyond Cape Elizabeth Lightship, a dozen miles east of here. It was not more than two feet above the water and making nearly 125 miles an hour it was estimated by Pilot Wilmer Stultz.

QUEEN SAYS CAROL WILL NOT RETURN Mother of Prince Believes He Will Keep Promise to Stay Away. HAREST, Rumania, October 22.—Queen Marie has faith in her son, the former Crown Prince Carol, and believes that he will never attempt to regain that which he has nounced—the throne. She hopes also that he will finally abandon Mme. Lupescu. Reports from abroad that emissarias of the National Peasant party had 8gone to rol in Paris to induce him to abandon the titian-haired Magdan Lupescu, with whom he eloped al- most two years ago, are not believed at the royal palace. Time and again in letters to his mother the prince has given her as- surance that he will make no at- tempt, illegal or secret, to re-enter this kingdom. Queen Has Confidence. “I have sufficient confidence fn him as son and prince to know that he will keep his word,” Queen Marie said, in reaffirming her belief in him. As for Mme. Lupescu, Queen Marie declares that,if Carol had severed relations with her, as reported in some Paris dispatches, she was en- tirely unaware of it. K rites regularly to the Queen and to his sister, Queen Mare of Ju, §la\‘i.’L In none of his recent lettters, it was said, has there been a hint of separation from Mme.

If there should be any attempt to reopen the quéstion of succession, sct- tled in Janual 1 shortly after Carol's elopement, and through which ettlement his 6-vear-old son ascended the throne as King Michael, the Ru- manian government is certain to re- sist it to the ytmost.
