UNDER SURFACE TENSION GRIPS ROYAL PARTY J. A. Ayers, Who Said Ford Is Paying Bills, Is Expelled From Train SAM HILL ALSO LEAVES Henry Ford's Private Secretary Says Ayres Is Unknown to Ford People
SAM HILL ALSO LEAVES
The train carrying Queen Marie left Seattle on Saturday night without two of its party: Samuel Hill, the railroad magnate, and J. A. Ayres, who presumably was a representative of Henry Ford. Colonel John H. Carroll, official host to the queen, said he ordered Ayres off the train after a newspaper article quoted him on Ford money paying for automobile transportation and incidental expenses of the tour, while Hill said there had been no dissension aboard and that the atmosphere was amicable.

Queen Marie's Train, En Route to Glacier National Park, Nov. 8 - (AP) - Under surface tension gripped the personnel of Queen Marie's train as it sped through Montana today.
Excitement and speculation, aroused by incidents marking the last few days' tour of Washington and Oregon and spread over the train from one end to the other, were heightened today by an expectance that still other members of the mobile entourage are to be missing when the journey ends at Washington, D. C.
The royal train was minus two of its personages on leaving Seattle Saturday night. These were Samuel Hill, railroad magnate, and J. A. Ayres, who presumably was a representative of Henry Ford.
Ayres was expelled from the train by order of Col. John H. Carroll, official host to the queen. Colonel Carroll, in taking this action, said he resented a newspaper article which quotes Ayres as saying Ford was spending $500,000 in providing automobile transportation for the royal party and that Ford's money was being used to defray incidental expenses of the tour.
Hill Leaves at Seattle Hill originally planned to remain with the party until Chicago is reached but after a conference with the queen and Colonel Carroll he arranged to say goodbye to Marie Saturday night after the royal party dined at his Seattle home.
Mr. Hill at Seattle last night denied that dissension aboard the train preceded his departure from it. He said "everything was lovely," and that the atmosphere was most amicable when Queen Marie dined at his home Saturday.
Denied Seat on Train In a statement, Colonel Carroll said Ayres had presented himself in New York before the tour started, asking for permission to ride on the train on the basis of an agreement which he said he had with the Rumanian legation in Washington by which he was to have automobiles made by the Ford company ready for the queen at every place she visited.
Ayres was denied a seat on the train until Ottawa was reached several days ago, having followed the train by automobile. At Ottawa, Colonel Carroll said he took Ayres aboard out of sympathy because of the long jump from that city to Winnipeg and Ayres' inability to hire an airplane with which to make the hop.
Ayres was taken aboard, Colonel Carroll said, with the understanding that he would remain unconspicuous while arranging for transportation for the royal party at the various stops. He had no authority, Carroll said, "to make any statements and because he has broken his agreement with me he leaves the train tonight."
Quarrel Is Ended "We have made every effort," Carroll said, "to make this journey a dignified one and to divorce it entirely from any suggestion of commercialism and advertising. To that end no one has been permitted to come aboard the train except those necessary to the comfort and safety of her majesty."
