PLATT ‘Flurry at Fifth Avenue Hotel To-Day Caused by Mysterious Visit of Miss Mae Wood, a Young Post-Office Clerk, Who Comes with a Lawyer to Learn of Senator’s Wedding, Mrs. Janeway, the Senator’s Bride-to-Be, Drove to Mr. Platt’s Office Early, Had a Long Conference, and Said Wedding Would Take Place as Arranged. So fur as {s known Miss Mae Wood, who announced in Washington last’ night that she was coming to New York to see Senator Platt about his ap- proaching marriage, has not succeeded iu seeing the Senator. She is known to be in the city, but has not been recognized either at the Fifth Avenue Hotel or the Senatcr’s office at No. 49 Broadway. One of the Senator's callers to-day was his flancee, Mrs. Lillian Jane way, who remaine! at his office for nearly two hours. Frank Platt, the Senator's son, was called into the conference, remain= ing for some time. Then he rode away in a hansom and rumor had it that he had gone to summon Rey. Dr. Burrell, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Chureh, who is Senator Platt’s friend and who has been asked to perform the marriage ceremony uniting the Senator and Mrs. Janeway day after to morrow. At Dr. Burrell’s home {t was said that he had been out of the city for’ some days, but had been hastily called back to do something in the way of church work. This work accomplished, the secretary to the doctor said, he would immediately go out of town again to be gone for some time, WHY THE HASTY SUNMONS? “Inasmuch aa the date of the marriage has been set for Oct. 15 ané Dr. Burrell does not appear to have arranged to be in the city on that date, is — it not possible that-the.Senator and Mrs, Janeway will be mariled to-day?” the secretary was asked. “I cannot give you any information on that subject,” was the reply, Miss Wood is a very attractive woman, thirty-five years of age. Sie a responsible position in the money order division of the Post-Office Department. The fact that she was about to come to New York was wired from Washington last night and Senator Platt knew of it before she got here this morning. The Senator went to business wearing a long frock coat and a silk hat. He did not seem to be particularly disturbed. When the Senator had been at his office about an hour Mrs. Janeway got out of a hansom in front of the building and went upstairs. She did not dismiss the cab. WOULD RECEIVE ONLY CASSATT. Caller after caller, many of them men of importance in politics and business, reached the door of Senator Platt’s private office only to be turned back. The only one admitted was A. J. Cassatt, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who remained with Senator Platt about fifteen minutes. Shortly after noon Mr. Howe, Senator Platt's secretary, left the private office, walked down to the street and jumped into Mrs, Janeway's cab, or- dering that it be driven uptown. He went up Broadway as far as Cortlandt street, turned west to Church street and was then driven down to the rear entrance of the express office. There he was joined in ten minutes by Mrs. Janeway, who had climbed over a perilous pile of express matter to get away unobserved. She was ea corted by a young man from the Senator's office, who got into the cab with her. Secretary Howe hurried back to Senator Platt. Mrs. Janeway was driven up Broadway, through Washington Square and up Fifth avenue to the Holland House, NO CRANGE IN WEDDING PLANS. She was asked {f she had been to call on Senator Platt. “T have been shopping all morning,” she replied, She was asked if any change had been made in the plans for the marriage. “It it would please the newspapers,” she sald, “I would like to get mar ried to-day, but there has been no change. The marriage will take place on Thursday. as arranged.” Asked if she knew Miss Wood, Mrs. Janeway sald that she did not Asked if she had ever heard of Miss Wood, she answered: “You know my home {s In Washington,” She was asked {f she had been informed that a representative of Miss Wood called on Senator Platt at his office to-day. “] don't know what happened at Senator Platt's office,” replied Mra 4 | Janeway. Mias Wood had not been located up to late this afternoon. This is the second time she has visited New York since the Senator's engagement was announced, DIDN'T SEE HIM AT FIRST CALL. ‘The first time she came she went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel and de- manded admission to Senator Platt’s apartments. She had just returned from a short vacation in Europe, during which the engagement of the Sena- tor to Mrs. Janeway was announced, Senator Platt did not see her and sn@ went back to her desk in Washington. i ‘Through some Influence it became known in the Post-Office Department that Miss Wood was not to be allowed a leave of absence.
