Horkheimer staged an inconspicuous staged relocation to avoid alarming Columbia

Evidence

But because of rumours on campus at Columbia that the Institute was planning to move away, and in order to wait for conditions in which it would be possible to make a less spectacular departure, Horkheimer stayed in New York for another six months. When he finally left for the west in April 1941, he went on his own, with his wife, to make things look as inconspicuous and provisional as possible. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 299
