Count de Paris Departs Washington After Brief Meeting Delay
Washington October 14 At 8 o clock the Comte de Paris and his party bade farewell to Washington and at 845 President Harrison and his party returned to the city. An awkward diplomatic dilemma was thus avoided by a narrow margin. It is likely that mutual friends suggested that the meeting be avoided for the good of all concerned. The Count is quick to take a hint and the President may have delayed his return for the same purpose. The general opinion here is that both sides are glad the incident ended as it did.
