MRS. AVER VICTORIOUS,
A Decision In Her Favor-Judge DAILY
Alludes to Miss Howard.

New YORK, May 2S.-Yesterday was a
day of victories for Mrs. Harriet Hubbard
Aver. Judge DAILY gave decision in her
favor in her action to prevent James M.
Seymour or others from voting on 49S shares
OF the stock of the Recamier Company.
which she maintained had been given to him
as security for loan of $4,000, and the
annual election by the stockholders of the
company resulted in the complete over
throw of the Seymour faction.
Concerning the alleged administration of
drugs to Mrs. Aver the Judge holds that the
testimony of experts and others is conflict
ing and that the settlement of the dispute as
to the quantity or quality of the doses is not
to be expected on affidavits. He takes the
same view of the suggestions of the COM
plicity in the conspiracy of Miss Blanche
Howard, in whose charge the plaintiff was
while in Europe, and says: "The unre-
mltting personal care bestowed upon plain
tilt BY her is vouched for by all the de-
fendants' witnesses to the transactions"
He declares that there can be no room for
doubt that the defendants intended to, or
believed they could, use Miss Howard, and
that James M. Seymour and his son were
engaged in the effort to keep the plaintiff out
OF the country and away from the manage
ment of the business, which was entirely In
their hands and under their control.
The motion in the other suit to dismiss the
complaint Is denied, and the injunction
against Withdrawing any. more. funds from
Austin G. Fox and Stephen FL. Olin ap-
peared for the plaintiff in the two suits, and
Roger A. Pryor and e. FL. Cahill for the
defendants.
