It's Retention.
Especial BY French Cable TO The TrlbuneI

Especial By French Cable to The Tribune
London, May S-The extraordinary efforts
making to secure the retention of the Duke Of
NorfoIk's Holbein in the National Gallery have
not yet been successful. His right to sell the
picture to art dealer is now questioned under
the law of entail, and close constructiOnists
contend that a special act OF Parliament will be
required. The price asked, 10000. is so ex-
orbitant for aspicture not ordinarily cIassed as
& great Holbein that il is not likely that the
money can be raised
There are scores of HoIbeins in England. and
their value has been artif1cially raised by
aggeration of their merits. The portrait of the
Duchess Of Milan rapidly painted after
single sitting. and attracted little attention dur
ing the long period when it was lent to the Ma
tional Gallery It is assumed that the portrait
will go to America If the money be not pledged
