HOW THE TROUBLE AROSE.
Huntington Used the Securities by
Stanford's Express Order.

Stanford'S Express Order.
The final clauses of the inventory and
appraisement of the estate of the late SEN
ator Stanford, which was fled on Wednes-
day afternoon, gave rise yesterday to a
renewal of the rumors which have been
freely uttered regarding differences alleged
to exist between Mrs. Stanford and G. p.
Huntington.
When the rumors were first given pub
licity The CALL caused a thorough in
vestigation 10 be made. with the result
that all interested emphatically denied
that there was any trouble. The matter
which gave rise TO the renewal of these
rumors is as follows:
Said executrix IS Informed and believes that
other property exists in the hands Of other per-
sons In the city of New York and elsewhere OF
which said exeeutrix has been unable with
reasonable diligence to ascertain the exact
nature, character or value. And said execu-
trx hereby asks leave OF said court to file such
further and supplemental inventory exhibiting
such property as the same may from lime 10
time be found and received by said executrix
And referring 10 the following personal prop
erty set out in the foregoing inventory, that is
TO say:

The said Jane l.. Stanford, as executrix of
the last will and testament of Leland Stanford,
deceased. respectfully represents that the said
property has not, nor has any of The same
come or been reduced TO her actual possession,
but that knowledge has come to her that the
same belongs to the estate of Leland Stanford.
deceased, and that she is proceeding with due
diligence to obtain theipossession OF the same
and the whole thereof.
Mrs. Stanford has all along refused to
speak on the matter, but Herbert c. Nash.
the late Governors private secretary. and
who fills the same position for Mrs. Stan
ford, said yesterday. as the representative
of Mrs. Stanford: 81 know of no trouble
existing between Mrs. Stanford and Mr..
Huntington. The statement filed yester.
day was signed by Mrs. Stanford, at the
request of her attorneys. In the short
time allowed for the apprasement a full
inventory was possible to obtain. Those
stocks and bonds are probably collateral
for money borrowed for the use of the
company; they are part of the Senator's
estate and must be included with the rest
of he property. That is all there is to the
story"
Mountfcrd S. Wilson of Wilson & Will
SOD. attorneys for Mrs. Stanford, refused
to talk upon the matter. "The news
papers can draw their own deductions
and print what they please" said Mr..
Wilson. "None of them have got any in
formation from us. and none of them Will.
shall not say whether there is anything
to be done or not. All will appear in due
course Of time"
AT Fourth and Townsend streets MOTH
ing but direct denials can be elected from
all OF the officials of tho Southern Pacific
Company who can be persuaded to say
anything relative to the question.
Vice-President Crocker insists that
there is no trouble and no disagreement
| between Mrs. Stanford and Mr.. Hunting
ton. he says that at the time the Chesa-
peake, Ohio and Southwestern road was
constructed Senator Stanford gave Mr.
Huntington authority to draw on his (the
latter's) account 10 meeting the obligations
made necessary by the work mentioned.
Many bonds and stocks which we're the
Governors property were still retained
In New York, and these stocks and bonds
wers distributed to individuals who pro-
vlded the money for pursuing the work of
construction of the new road. MANY of
these bonds passed into the possession of
individuals, and frequently were returned
to the company to be sold for tho common
use OF the road. In that way securities
which belonged to the Governor were in
Mr. Huntington's possession, and he was
authorized to sell such when he thought
proper. With Senator Stanford dead
many things that were thoroughly under
stood by him will necessarily have TO be
gone all over again aud explained for the
benefit of the estate.
Mrs. Stanford. MIR. Croker says, in her
capacity as executrix, finds some OF those
bonds still in Mr.. Huntington's posses
sion. but she has made no demand for
them. and if she did want them could
easily get them.
ID. E. Huntington was equally emphatic
In denying the existence OF the rumored
trouble. He says that certain investments
