BUT HIS FIANCEE
HAS $I5,OOO,OOO
He Is Now Guest of
Family at The Break

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Mrs. Cornelius

Gladys. one Of the richest young heir
esses in all America. 10 Count Laszio

pest, who is a guest OF the young
woman's mother at Newport.
Miss Vanderbilt has been known for
years as tile American Sphinx" for,
Notwithstanding she had been reported
engaged many times. she would neither
deny or confirm the rumors.
Surprise to Social World.
The confirmation OF the rumor. which
had been given little or no credence. will
cause great astonishment in the social
centers Of the world, for Miss Vanderbilt,
who inherited $12,000.OOO upon the death
of her father, has been the goal OF for
tune hunters throughout every State in
the Union, as well as every foreign
province I'm the world. Since her faith
er's death her fortune has increased 10
at least S15.OOO.OO0
She had been at various times reported
engaged TO young Robert Walton Goe-
let, himself worth more than 5000 900
as well as to the sons Of other promi-
nent and socially eminent Americans OF
aristocratic blood and half a score of
British noblemen.
Family Wins But Little.
In the man she has selected 10 aid In
the spending of the great Vanderbilt
fortune. the family has won little except
association with the Szechenyis. who
have been identified with the political
fcriunes Of Austria-Hungary for a CEN
tUry past
Tbe young count brings with him 1t
tie save the breeding Of a gentleman,
fought a duel
An interesting coincidence IN connec-
tion with this. was that his ANTAGONIST
was Aurel BatOnyi, who is being sued
by his wife. the former Mrs Burke
Roche, for a divorce. The counts honor
tho arm. As the celebrated whip is
leaving the social center a practical out
cast, the latest Importation suddenly be-
comes its hero.
Count Arrived Yesterday.
The count arrived at The Breakers
yesterday, and was received in a man
ner which seemed to leave no doubt as
to his standing as a prospective hus-
band and son-in-law. He is twenty-eigbt
years old, good looking and a lieutenant
