In April, 111, Mrs. Hichborn re turned to her mother and slmulta ously Wylle returned to his family in Washington. He had .deserted his wife and four children; Mrs. Hichborn -had left a three year old baby boy. It is supposed this attempt at reconcilia tion was the result of a meeting a few weeks earlier In Paris between Mrs. Hichborn and her sister, Mrs. Ferdi nand Von Stumm, the wife of a for mer attache of the German embassy here and Mrs. Hoyt. It really, how ever, was the outcome of an agree ment between Mrs. Hichborn and Wylle that each should return home and If both found a reconciliation im possible they should accept such a re alisation as a Justification for their elopement. It appeared at first that the Wylles had become reconciled but not so with the Hlchborns. A recon ciliation was not made there. Turns Over Property. The next step came last fall when Wylle turned over to his wife and children real estate said to. be worth $300,000 and personal property valued at $100,000 It was thought this was the final action In bringing the family together but it proved to be the step which separated them. Wylle resigned from the clubs which had not already dropped him and sailed from Boston for Europe. Mrs. Hichborn remained with her mother near Boston and after a hurried trip to Washington sailed In November for Europe from Montreal. The prominence of his family and Mrs. Hichborn's gave unusual notice to the disaster. Rear-Admiral Hich born. for long the chief constructor of the navy, was referred to as master ship-builder" and to his genius was given much of the credit for the performance of the American fleet In the war with Spain. Mrs. Hichborn's father was s man of letters and a scholar fitted for the position he held. JEFF DAVIS TO Id .SEUTE -USE Returns From Arkansas Pri maries Indicate His Renomi nation Arkansas Results.
