son Of New Haven, executor of the viii of
Henry b. Plant, the railway and steam
ship man, who died in this city on June %

lowance of $4,000 by the terms of the VIII,
he said that Mrs. Plant Is dissatisfied with
the provision made for her in the will and
has retained counsel
mo complaint has been received by the
executor from any source In relation to
the matter and l must decline 10 say any
thing more with reference on the subject"
said Judge Harrison.

live here, that the trustees OF the Plant
Investment Company are In favor Of max
ing her a larger allowance rather than
risk suit. which would be likely TO bring
the affairs of the Plant Investment Com

expect that she would be satisfied with
the allowance for her in the Will.
Mrs. Plants attorneys refused to say
anything about a possible contest of the
