There is talk of a contest over Van
derbilt's will. One of the legatees said
Yesterday that the relations outside OF
Wm. ii. Vanderbilt's family would
never let it stand as it is, unless WIN.
II. should avoid all causes of dispute
by giving his less fortunate co.claim.
ants liberal shares of the immense
wealth left by the Commodore, which
under the will he controls.
Friends of the Commodore say that
VIM. II. Vanderbilt is to carry out a
plan of his for the construction of a
hospital, or home for the benefit of the
employees of Vanderbilt's roads. 1t is
! also understood that the Commodore
placed a large sum in the hands of his
eldest son to distribute among his
most valued friends.
