TWO MILLIONS THE STAKE.

Fight Over the Distribution of the For
tune of L. A. Robertson.
New YORK, Dec. 12.-There is a pros
pect of long legal fight over the dis
tribution of the $2,50O,000 estate left by
Loring A. Robertson, who died sudden
ly at the Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, on
October 10. The disturbing element is
a woman, who puts in claim for the
entire estate on the ground that she is
the widow of the deceased million
aire. The six uncles and aunts
of Mr.. Robertson believed they
would share the property equally, for
he had left no will, and they petitioned
Surrogate Abbott, of Brooklyn, for the
appointment of administrators. Every
thing looked favorable for the claimants
until lawyers presented another petit
ton, signed in bold masculine hand
with the name of "Helen Robertson"
The new petition startled the lawyers OF
the other relatives.
