There had been signs of unusual activity at the Morrow home all day, but there was no intimation that the ceremony was to take place this afternoon. It has been rumored for several weeks that the arrival of Ambassador Morrow from Mexico City would be followed closely by an announcement of the date and place for the wedding. Most friends of the family, however, believed elaborate preparations would be made and that a large number of prominent guests would be invited to the ceremony. The ambassador, however, remained as silent as his son-in-law about the wedding plans. When met at the train yesterday, he gave no intimation that the wedding was so near at hand, meeting all questions with the familiar words of the flyer, "I have absolutely nothing to say."
