HATZFELDT MAY CONTEST.
StepdRuEhter of Coils p. Hunting
ton Now Claims to Have Been
AdOpted by Him.

Adopted by Him.
San Francisco, Cal, June 19.-Ever
since mention was made several months
ago that a secret search had been made
of the records of Sacramento county to
determine il there was a record of the
adoption of Princess Hatzfeldt by the
late Coils P. Huntington, there have been
persistent rumors that the Princess has
in contemplation contest of the rail
road builders will.
These rumors have been revived by the
arrival of Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt
on this coast and the fact that the Prin-
kess has gone to Sacramento. ostensibly
to visit her mother. The Princess, how
ever, disclaims any intention of beginning
a contest.
1t is pointed out that such contest
would present unusual difficulty, for in
order to have the will declared invalid, 1t
would be necessary to show that Hun
ungton was of unsound mind at the time
he made the will or that he was under
influence. or that the will was forged.
The will was executed about two years
before Huntingtons death. Then there
Is the additional fact that the Princess
was mentioned in the will and was pro-
vided for by giving her the interest on N,-
100000 during her lifetime, the principal
to go to her issue, or failing issue, to such
persons as she may by will direct. 1t is
estimated that the Huntington estate has
increased 40 per cent. since his death. 1t
Is in the question of residuary legatee-
ship that there rests bitterness which
may force the bringing of contest, for
Henry E. Huntington is named as resid-
uary beneficiary. and 1t Is possible that he
may receive over 900 as his share.
Mrs. Clara Prentice mother of the
Princess. asserts 1t is said. that she sign
ed document reinquishing her author
ity over her daughter and that Hunting
ton legally adopted the child. No record
of this adoption has been found. how
