WIZARDS WILL A FACTOR

New York, April THAT Prince Hel1e
de Sagan is a sutton for the hand of Nine.
Anna Gould is announced by the prince
himself in a statement in which he says
that Nine Gould will sail for France
very soon after his own departure, which
is set for April 9. The princes announce
ment was made coincident with the circu-
lation of reports that Nine. Gould has
quarreled with her family because of her
determination to marry De Sagan Nine;
Gould is quoted as saying that she Shali
mot longer be oppressed and ruled Dy
her family that at last she has asserted
herself and "shall abide by her own de-
cision
Nine. Gould has left the home of her
sister, Miss Helen Gould, with whom she
had been staying since her arrival from
France more than week ago, and is Nv
ing with friends al the Hotel ST. Regis
Money Involved.
Not only sentiment, but money as well,
is involved in the break between Nine.
Gould and the members of her family.
The will by which jay Gould disposed OF
his fortune contained codicil which may
have a prominent part In developments
which should follow prolonSation OF
the family trouble. This cOdicil provided
that anV of his children who should mar
ry without first getting the consent OF
the other sons and daughter should for
felt one-half of his or her interest in the
estate. In Nine. Gould's case, the one
half is variously estimated at between
S., 900 and sS,000,000.
Will Appeal to the Courts.

Could however. that this provision of the
will was abrOgated as far as she is con-
cerned when the consent of her brothers
and sister was given to her marriage with
Count Boni de Castellane. Having taken
this position, she is said to have retained
Low
interests both i'm New York and Paris.
and to have informed her relatives at the
| last family conference that she is pre-
pared to fight if necessary for what she
regards as her right to her entire share
of the fortune left by her father.
Nine. Gould is i'll in her apartments at
the St Regis and the date of her depart
ure for Europe is believed to be largely
dependent upon the rapidity with which
she RECEIVERS.
No definite date for her sailing has yet
been set. SC far as can be learned, but it
is not believed that it will be delayed
longer than ten days or two weeks
