INDIAN MAHARAJAH SAILS FOR ENGLAND;
Ruler of Rajpipla Prolonged His Visit in United States to a Month.
NOW ON HIS WAY HOME
Much Impressed by His Visit to the White House and by the Stock Exchange.
The Maharajah of Rajpipla, one of the Rewakantha States of Gujerat, India, sailed yesterday for India via England on the Cunarder Berengaria. He expressed his gratitude for the kindness shown to him during his thirty days in the United States, which he spent chiefly in New York, Washington and the Long Island summer resorts. He had intended to stop only fifteen days, but he said everyone was so good to him that he couldn’t leave before.
The Maharajah went to Washington expressly to see President Harding, with whom he conversed for twenty minutes. He said the President spoke about India and said he had a relative in Burma. He was much impressed with the New York Stock Exchange. He went to baseball games which he thought resembled the English game of “rounders”, but were more scientific.
