ASTOR EFFECTS
REALLY SHABBY
Second Report Confirms First
Appraisal of Famous
Furnishings.
/ speclal 10 The mines .pispa ten. /

New York, September 25.-Mrs NJ.
Orme Wilson. Mrs Charlotte A. Haig,
John Jacob Aston and others personally
interested in the jewels and furnish
tor, formerly leader in the ultra fash
ionable set in New York, In her Firth
Avenue mansion. have had their judg-
ment regarding the value OF these pos
sessions indicated.
Mrs Wilson. who is said to have been
indignant when directed by the courts
to testify second time regarding the
worth of the personal effects left by
her mother expressed her dtspleasura
at the new arrangement, but finally
appeared at the hearings. Her testi-
mony, together with that Of expert APP
! praisers, has been completed and Is
about ready for filing.
The second report confirms the orig
| inal report. in which the words worn,
| dilapidated and worthless were ire
( quently used to characterize the condi-
| ton OF the possessions lett by the late
I social dictator.
The new estimates, rating the gtlded
| chairs of the Aston mansion at sl.5o
| each, the Grand piano at sl0O and the
| diningroom tapestry at Sfo. are ~, .ne
same as the original appratsals. The
only change in the appraisal Is the
| afiitavits annexed to the report In
which the appraisers swear that theii
| estimates are true.
| Even state Appraiser James Year
eance was amazed at the low valua-
ton placed by experts on the sup
| posedly priceless Aston treasures when
he handed in his first report last De-
ce1nber. Surrogate Cohalan shared his
surprise, ard after careful review
| of the schedule, in which the famous
/ ballroom chairs were marked "rickety';
the supposedly valuable art works,
copies painted by amateurs; the
hangings, shabby" he decided that a
i mistake might have been made and
i ordered a reappraisal.
The surrogate noted the fact that
while the Tiffany experts certified that
Mrs. Astor's five-strand pearl neck
lace. appraised at $4,000. had ninety
Imitation pearls in 1t, there was no
affidavit attached to the appraisal
Appraisals of the other Jewels by
Tiffany. the plate by Gorham, the fur
\ nishings by Duveen experts, also lack
ed sworn statements. For this reason
+, the report was refused.
The executors of the Astor estate
promptly appealed to the appellate
division of the Supreme Court IRON
Surrogate cohalan's decision, H., but jail, failee
court also knocked out the low esti,
mate ana ordered the reappraisal
which has just been completed.
The total value of Mrs. Astor's gros!
estate is fixed at s1,726.lS1. and TN
value OF her Jewels at $2S9, 600.
The expenses of administration, com.
missions and taxes on the Caroline w
Aston estate amount to S94,950. TN
; net estate Is S1,631,236 The residue
. nof the estate is s1,556636. After tn
trustees fund is taken out there vii
remain for Mrs. Wilson and Mrs Hals
S154,39S each.
