I, July 14.—Owners, managers, officers and crews of the three cup defenders—Defiance, Reso- lute and Vanitie—were grateful today for an opportunity for relaxation and rest ofter yesterday’s long and inde- cisive drifting match in Block Island Sound. It was a source of digappointment however, that there should be the best racing weather in a week off Brenton’s Reef lightship, for a snappy southeaster was puffing in from off shore while the sky was very clear. Late in the forenoon the Resolute hoisted sail and with a new ‘club top- sail aloft started on a spin in the bay. It was stated that she might run to Bristol for slight changes before Thursday’s contest. The Vanitie and Defiance had made no move up to noon to follow the Resolute.

" 8 2 g REPORTED ASTORS ARE: ESTRANGED Proposed Salc of Eogish News- papers Resu.t of Femily Quarrel. —_— London, July ;14.—Behind the an- rouncement cabled to New York yes- terday of William Waldorf Astor’'s in- tention ‘to sell The Observer and The Pall Mall Gazette lies an extraor- dinary story of a family quarrel, which may affect the eventual dis- position of his immense fortune—in other words, may bring about the dis- inheritance of Waldorf, the eldest son, by his father, William Waldorf Astor. The trouble originated in a chance remark by Mrs, Waldorf Astor, who was Mrs. Nanny Langhorne Shaw be- fore her second marriage in 1906. Young Mrs. Astor is celebrated for her wit, which often carries a barbed shaft. One of these shafts is rank- ling in the breast of her father-in- law. 7 Caused Complete Breach. Exactly what it was that Mrs, Astor said cannot be ascertained ex- actly, but on excellent authority it is said that it referred to her father-in- law’s control of his ‘“money bags.” It so happened that William Waldorf overheard the stinging phrase, and the outcome is a complete breach be- tween father and son, the latter tak- ing his wife’s side in the domestic quarrel that followed. The proposed sale of The Observer and The Pall Mall is the first move in the open war which is now de- clared between father and son. The original purchase of these two papers was designed in one case to advance the son's political ambitions and in -the other to realize the father’'s dream of founding a family which should rank among the titled nobility. Both objects have -been sought ‘in recent years. Almost a Monomania. Ever since Willlam Waldorf used The Pall Mall Magazine, which he bought for the purpose of giving pub- leity to his belief that the first Astor millionaire was a direct descendant of a Spanish grandee who migrated to Holland, his greatest desire in Iife has been to see the name of Astor em- blazoned in the Almanach de Gotha. The acquisition of a title has become almost & monomania. Some titles can be obtained cheap- ly. William Waldorf could buy half a dozen Continenta] titles with an ex- penditure of money that would hard- ly be missed from his annual income. It was, however, an English title on which he had set his mind. Only Regular Business. In those days, as Cecil Chesterton said the other day, the traffic in “honors” was a regular business, and one had only to pay to the political party in power an amount graduated according to fixed scale fn order to obtain a barony, a baronetcy, or a knighthood. It might have seemed easy for Mr: Astor to realize his ambition, but he looked higher than a barony or even an earldom. He wanted a dukedem. He relinquished his American citizen- ship and became a British subject as the first step. Unfortunately, he had not the gift of making friends, and even had the habit of making enemies, Matter of History. The incident in which he refused to admit Sir Berkeley Sheffield to his house is a matter of history. Sir Berkeley was a friend of King Kd- ward, and the mongrch, who was nat- urally in a position to know how Mr. Astor was “pulling wires” to obtain a title, said emphatically that he would be dashed before he would sign any honor list, no matter what ministry presented it, on which the name of Mr, Astor appeared. This completely ended William ‘Waldorf’s ambitions for a title dur- ing King Edward's reign. He was considerably out of pocket owing to his contributions ‘to the unionist party chest, Centered on Son. There came a time when Mr. Astor concluded that his desire to see him- self enrolled among the dukes must be abandoned. His ambitions then centered on his son Waldorf. The latter's' marriage to an American had been a severe blow to his father, who would have preferred an English woman of title as his daughter-in- law. But Waldorf elegted to follow a political career, and as young poli- ticlans with money are welcome in either of the English parties, Wal- dorf was soon provided with a seat in parliament. In 1911, he was returned for Ply- mouth after a sedulous canvass of the constituency in which his father spent money like water. A seat in the house of commons among the unionist minority is, of course, only a stepping stone to a seat in the house of lords, which young Waldorf was certain to obtain once the Tories returned to power, particularly if during the period of opposition the young member’s services to the party and’ his personal prestige provided any justification for the bestowal of such an honor.

London, July 14.—Richard Croker, former Tammany chief, confirms the report that he is going to America this fall, but according to what he said last night he is not returning for the purpose of starting a fight to dethrone Charles F. Murphy from the leadership of Tammany Hall. Speaking over the long distance tel- ephone from his home in Glencairn, Ireland, Mr. Croker told the reporter that he was going to New York In the coming autumn, but added em- phatically that he would not take any part in the political affairs of that city. Mr. Walker's Statement, New York, July 14.-—Harry w. Walker, friend of Richard Croker, sald yesterday that the former Tam- many chief would come here in Sep- tember to make war on Charles F. Murphy. Mr. Walker returned re- cently from a visit to Croker’'s Irish estate near Dublin and spoke with confidence. “Croker is coming back here in September,” said Walker, “and big things are going to happen. He has in his possession confessions which he will make public. These will have an important bearing on Croker's fight against Murphy, which he will renew with all the vigor in him. Knockout Punch at Murphy. “Despite his seventy odd years, Croker has the same bulldog tenacity, hits out just as hard against his ene- mies, and from what I have heard and from what he told me I under- stand that he plans this time to take a knockout punch at- Murphy.” He added that Croker had arranged to see William S. - (Big Bill) Devery after his arrival here. It will be remembered that' fn a letter written by Croker to the late John Fox, ‘president .of the National Democratic club, was the assertion that' the only way that Tammany could win again would be by throwing out Murphy. Adds Additional Interest. The coming of Croker adds addi- tional interest to the rumor that Thomas F. Foley, leader of the Third Assembiy district, who is fighting James J, Frawley and trying to drive him out of politics, means to have the support of Murphy or fight him too. Foley denied yesterday that he had split with Murphy over the Frawley row. There is np doubt among poli- ticlans who know the inside of the situation that Foley ' is' bitter and means to have Murphy’'s aid in fl‘ht- ing Frawley. BRITISH WIN THIRD OF SINGLES MATCHZS Great Britain’s Tennis Team Will Play at Boston in Davis Trophy Tournament. ‘Wimbledon, July 14.—Great Britain today won the third of the singles matches in ' the preliminary round against France in the Dwight F.

Furthermore, patrons will pay fares to ride on these cages and get transfers from the vertical lifts to the horizontal, just as we get them on street cars now,” he said. “They will pipe pure air into the big city bulldings just as they pipe pure water, and bungalows on top ot tall buildings will house the owners in summer.
