Wright, third assistant Secretary for State, who will welcome him on behalf of the United States Government, and Major Edward Dudley Metcalf, the Prince’s equerry, who arrived several days ago to undertake arrangements for the visit.

Th© Prince will leave the liner an hour or more before she docks, proceeding ashore in a coastguard cutter or a private yacht. He intends to go direct to the home of Mr James A. Burden, near Syosset, Long Island, which will he his home for about two weeks. If the Berengaria is late he may proceed direct to Washington, where he takes lunch with President Coolidge on Saturday.
