Bobby | is only 14, a shy youngster and fond of 'books. His father is dead, and it {s a question whether or not the boy went out into the world to retrieve the family fortune, or whether the call of the sea, that he has always loved, was too strong. He left his home at 801 Riverside Drive on May 81, wearing a reddish brown suit, brown stockings, white tennis shoes and a green felt hat. He was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, blond hair and blue eyes. Bobble has always been an obedient boy. Hls family has moved about a great deal so that he has never had a pal. He attended Riverside school in Miami, coming to the New York ad- dress three weeks before his disap- pearance. He wanted to get a job, but until May 31 his mother refused to let him, and then relugtantly gave her consent, She watched him as he went around the corner of 157th street, starting out to look for his first position. Then the green felt hat rounded the corner and he has not been seen since. He was the only child. Mrs. Niles sits at the window day after day waiting for the green hat to come around the corner again. “She’'s changed since he went away," said the elevator boy in the apartment house. Robert Gover of 102-38 Eighty-sixth place, Richmon Hill, Queens, reported to the police yesterday afternoon that his ‘14 year old son, Robert, Jr., had been missing since July 7.
