NEW YORK, April 20. General Gregorie Semenoff. former ataman of the Cossacks, who was' freed on $25, 000 bail last night from Ludlow-street jail, dropped out of sight today and even hig lawyers said they were not certain where he could be located. The general's bail, in cash, was pro vided by the Russian National Boclety and the Association for the Unity of Russians, an organization of Russian monarchists. As soon as he was freed last night the Cossack leader leaped into a taxicab and was whisked away. Ezra P. Prentice, chief of the gen eral's legal staff, said he did not know where his client is staying. One of Prentice's assistants said he knew the address but had not been able to find the general in today. He refused to give out the address. Madame Semenoff checked out of the Waldorf Astoria yesterday. She took with her the six boxes which she has declared contain all the posses sions of herself and her husband. She gave the hotel no forwarding address. Efforts of attorneys for the Touroveta Home & Foreign Trading company, which caused the arrest of Semenoff, to locate the general were unavailing and reporters also failed to locate him. Officials of the society which pro vided the bail, said tonight that they could not give the address where Se menoff might be found. A new angle of the mystery devel oped when Senator Borah of Idaho, who has urged Semenof f's deportation, left New York for Washington in such a hurry that he left a package of im portant papers in his room. The sen ator had come to the city personally to investigate the ease. He said he was to meet three persons who would be of value in his investigation, but he saw no one. He registered for the night in room 1167 at the Waldorf-Astoria. About four hours earlier Madame Semenoff had checked out of the same room, but Senator Borah did not know at the time that the man he was investi gating had occupied the very room he had. Just before noon he left the hotel. He telephoned back to ask the man ager to send on the package of let ters, and said he was going to Washington. land and perhaps a greatei number outside.
