According to an account In one of the

I'pon hie return to Omaha Mr. Bwan
aon made thla atatement:
"I met the young women referred to
while atopplng at the Hotel LaHalle, but
I wish to atate there la nothing In the
report that I was or Intend to be en
gaged to either of the Style ahow modela.
I underatood there waa to be a Story
about thla matter In the Chicago paper,
but I would aak you not to mention It
here."
A Chicago paper of date of Thuraday

atatea that Mlaa McCormlck announced

Another alleged phaae of the etory la
that Mlaa Randolph Introduced Mr.

ter won the heart of the young under

ferred blcaxing upon the match aha la
aald to have unwittingly made.
Mr. Bwanaon laughed at tha- whole
affair and declarea he la tha victim of
an Interpreting preen agent.
