and Could Apply Ito Earnings on
Debt She Owes HIm-prince Takes
Opposition Much to Heart.

NEW YORK, March 2S-That Nine
Anne Gould and Prince Hello de Sa-
gan will wed. and that within n
month. Is the general understanding
here. That George j. Gould will re-
fuse his consent to the marriage is
said by intimatcs of the Gould family
to be certain.
II has been strongly intimsitcd that
de Sagan came to this country not
only TO maintain the personal ascen-
dancy which he Ia said to have ac-
quired over Nine Gould. but also to
add his entreatics to hers that the
marriage might take place with the
sanction OF the Gould family.

particular Is very essential in more
ways than one. lie Is not only head
OF the Gould family, but under tho
terms of their fathers will is manage
or OF Nine. Goulds share in the es-
tate. the principal OF which she can
not touch.
Her brother. who has been making
her the advances. has the power to
render her practically pcnniless at
any time by applying the income from
her share in the estate to the pay
mcnt of her debts to him.
Unless the consent of George GoulL
Is obtained. then. the prince may find
that marriage with Nine. Gould, In

only material increase to his al
ready large liabilities
Mr.. Gould bases his opposition TO
The marriage not so much on the
