STILLMANS TODAY ARE IN NEW YORK Shun Publicity as They Arrive in Metropolis New York, July 28 (UP)—Dodg- ing publicity in much the same fashion as photographers dodge crockery at Grand Anse, Bud and Lena Stillman, happy honeymooners arrived today at Grand Central sta- tion and were taken to an unknown address. A few hours after the couple reached their hiding place, James A. Stillman, father of the bridegroom, stood at the doorway of his lavish Park avenue apartment and told th United Press correspondent: “I won't say where they are. Maybe T don't know, that’s for you to find out, but ycu'd better leave them alone, hadn’t you?" Stillman Pere was in a jovial mood. He defended the-plate-hurl- ing exhihition of ‘his wife which featurad the post-nuptial ceremonies at Grand Anse Tdesday. A photographer approached the apartment and asked the multi-mil- lionaire to pose. Stillman refused and the cameraman took the plcture anyway. ‘That's just typical of the way thing were at the camp,” he ex- claimed, altogether there was little trace of anger in his voice. "My wife asked the photographers to for- get their cameras during the cere- mony but they broke their promise and that's why they got theirs."” Stillman said that his son and daughter-in-law were not in his apartment, although he admitted that the exquisite trousseau of the bride, who now possesses such fin- ery as seldom has graced a girl of the Canadian woods, was there. The young couple will sail at mid- night Sunday on the White Star liner Olymplc. Stillman said. Tt was that same vessel on which | Bud's father and mother engaged nassage when they became reconcil- cd_after years of stormy litigation. The honeymgoners escaped an im- promptu reception committee at Grand Central station when they ar- rived from Montreal. Platform em- ployes helped them reach the main floor in a baggage elevator and from there they sped to a waiting taxi cab which was off before pursuers knew what it was all about.

Easy money rates continued to provide the chief hackground for the advance, call loans again being marked down to 3% per cent with | funds available below that figure in the “outside market.” Steel trade news was more cheer- ful, Ingot production of the U.

Torrington Manufacturing BRITISH-AMERICAN | NAVAL DELEGATES MEET IN PRIVATE (Continued From First Page) n spokesman told the newspaper the the American delegation is disposed to consider the inser- |tion of a clause in the projected |treaty whereby, if any signatory {power had any apprehensions over |the future concerning the building programs of the other signatories, {2 meeting of representatives of the ernments concerned could be | convoked immediately to discuss the situation. The spokesman said that it was originally intended to incorporate such a clause to meet any apprehen- sions of any of the signatories of the treaty concerning the naval con- structions of non-signatory posers such as Irance and Italy, who would not be bound by the Geneva agree- ment. However, in view of the de- sire of the United States to maine tain its freedom as to the construc- tion of eight inch. gun cruisers within the limit of the total author- ed tonnage, continued the spokes- man, it was deemed possibly desir- able to insert such a clause with the idea that it would remove any |apprehensions of the signatories | themselves. More Building Not Likely The American spokesman also iwelt upon the improbability of ‘llw Unfted States building any con- | siderable number of eight inch gun cruisers in addition to th. 10,000 ton uisers which would be authorized, ause any reasonable total tonnage limitation, it is felt, would make such building impossible during the ten-year life of the treaty.
