CALLED ON KAISER
Man Ousted From U. S. and
Jailed as Forger Barred
From Castle
SOUGHT WORD BY WILLIAM
By the Associated Press
Amcrongen, Sept. 22. An official
statement Issued from Bentlnck Castle,
the home of the former emperor of
Germany, states that neither Ignatius
Lincoln nor Herr Anderson saw Count
Hohenxollern, nor were they even within
the castle grounds. It is said, however,
they did sqe some of the one-time mnn
nrch'rf suited Including General Dommes.
It Is stated that Lincoln sought n
public statement from Count Hohemol
lern, but received a reply that the
latter had never spoken publicly' since
he entered Holland, and no statement
of any kind was received by Lincoln.
It is pointed out that if the Jmpres
sion that Lincoln saw tho former em
peror was permitted to stand, It would
embarrass the Dutch Government, which
maintains strict control over visitors to
the castle, who must receive special
cards from the government counter
signed by the burgomaster of Amcrongen
before they are able to pass the guards.
iiincoln did not receive any snen cams.
Kxpelled from United States
Lincoln, formerly n member of the
British Parliament and German agent,
who five weeks ago was released from
prison in England, arrived at Ameron
gen Friday. Lincoln was accompanied
by a German who registered at a hotel
as "Herr Anderson," about whose
identity there Is much secrecy, but who
is belifved to occupy a prominent post
among the monarchists of Germany.
It was believed that Lincoln came to
Amerongen for the purpose of obtaining

some direct word from the former em
peror, which he could deliver to the
Hohcnzollern supporters Both Lincoln
and Anderson returned hastily to Ber
lin Sunday morning, nnd the startling
statement which Lincoln Informed tnV
Associated Pres he cipcctcd to make
was not forthcoming.
Has Nothing to Say
Lincoln, before leaving, gave the As
sociated Press the following written
statement:
"I nm sorry that I unable to make
a statement to jou before lny depart;
ure from Amerongen. The fact Is there
Is nothing to soy. I came here in a
private capacitjT and return to Bcrliii
in a private capacity.
"If I may make a suggestion, were I
in your place I would not telegraph
anything that could put official con
struction on my sojourn in Amerongen.
as sucn statements would most UKciy
be reputed by the persons with whom 1
have had a few pleasant chats of a
partly personal anil private nature."
Since his. deportation from England
nnd his arrival in Berlin Lincoln has
identified himself with the German fac
tion favoring the restoration of the
Hohcnzollerns.
While refusing to talk about his visit
to William Hohcnzollern. Lincoln ex
pressed the opinion that the bitter feel
ing against Great Brltaiu would not
end for a long time.
"Personally.I told the British au
thorities that in my writings I would
devote my life's work against Eng
land," Lincoln said. "I am already
beginning."
A London dispatch Inst .luly said
Lincoln would he deported to Hungary.
The British Government revoked his
naturalization certificate following his
conviction and hentenee to three years
penal servitude on a forgery charge.
Lincoln wan' arrented in Brooklyn, N.
