THE DUCHESS OF MARLBoRoUGH,s CITIZENSHIP

The question of the Duchess of Marlboroughs citl-
zenshp Is still undetermined. Under the will Of her
former husband. Louis c. Hamersley. she was made
executor and corustee. Her co-executors and trus-
tees maintained at recent hearing before Surrogate
Ransom that having married foreigner and taken up
her residence abroad she has become British subject,
and was thereby incapactated from acting under the
will The counsel simply submitted the question for
judicial decision Robert Sewen, her counsel, con-
tended that she still American. The Surrogate
handed down short memorandum yesterday, In which
he says:
"The incompetency of the executrix to act as such
by reason of non-residence can only be taken adj
vantage of by an independent proceeding instituted for
the revocation of her letters that ground He en-
tertans doubt to whether she may act as trustee
and will hear counsel upon that subject on June 2.
