Walker, who kept many notables | . wating by being late for appointments when he was mayor of New York, held up an ocean liner yesterday. The steamship President Plerce was two hours late in sailing for Genoa, but the tardiness of Private Citizen Walker was only partly to blame. After the boat was held up two hours for him it was found the prow was stuck in mud and 1t took another hour to release the ship. Just as Mr. Walker was about to i‘i‘burfl "ilethb-?t he uee‘l;ed word from hotel a long cal arrived for him Trem New Sork.
