N. Cardoao.
Until the beginning of the present
term of court last October, Van De

This term, however, he voted In
line with the administration nine
times and against It three times.
Two of the three votes were against
application of the Wagner labor re
latione aot to the Associated Press

(Continued from Page One.)
no religious ceremony Is contem
plated. Edward, the man who chose to be
husband rather than kin?, chose the
birthday of his late father, George
V, for his wedding to the woman
he could not have as monarch.
The announcement, which made
no mention of the coincidence In
dates, laid the wedding party would
be confined to "those who have been
with them" the duke end Mrs. War
field "during the fast months," and
added tersely:
"There will be no members of the
royal family present."
Right up to the moment 'of the
announcement, many had supposed
that the Duks of Kent, Edward's
youngest brother, would be best
man.
The official announcement of the
wedding Itself, handed to reporters
at the gates of the chateau by Her
man L. Rogers, as Id:
"His royal highness the Duke of
Windsor announces that his marriage
to Wallls War fie Id, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Teakle, Wallls
Warfleld of Maryland, will take place
at the Chateau de Cande at Monts
on Thursday, June 8."
Mrs.' Warfleld only recently re
nounced her first name, "Bessie" and
the surname- of the man from whom
she was divorced early this month
Ernest Aldrlch Simpson.

curtate call for the last act In an
unsurpassed drama of empire, love
and abdication, comes. Just 30 days
before Edward's 43rd birthday. His
father, the late King Oeorge V, was
born on June 8, i860, and died Jan
uary 30, lOSSe
June likewise Is Mrs. Warfleld'B
birth month. She will be 41 on June
19.
Rogers, the wealthy New Yorker
who waa virtual guardian and spokes
man for Mrs. Warfleld during the
wait for her final divorce decree,
gave the announcement to hun
dred American, Trench and English
newspapermen at the chateau gates,
Edward and Mrs. Warfleld did not
appear.
A drizzling rain was falling, but
Rogers wore no hat.
He waa so excited he groped
frantically for the Frent words
needed to translate the announce
ment for the French reporters.
Rogers would put no Interpreta
tion on his declaration that "invita
tions to the wedding of the Duke of
Windsor snd Mrs. Wallla Warfleld
will be confined to those who have
been with them during the post
months."
Neither would he say who, defin
itely, would be Invited.
Despite Rogers' reticence, there was
an Immediate tendency on th part
of some persons to Interpret the an
nouncement aa an Indication the
royal family la definitely frowning
on the marriage.
