The failure of the testator to name
Ralph Pulitzer, the oldest son, as one OF
the trustees, was made the subject of
statement by Ralph Pulitzer last night,
in which he said that his father lived
and died in the conviction that he han
designated him as one of the executors
and trustees. He quoted letter from
William b. Hornblower, counsel, who
drafted the codicil, in which it was de-
clared to be an inadvertent omission
that Ralph Pulitzer was not named. Mr..
Hornblower stated that in preparing 4
recent new draft of the viii he had
inserted Ralph's name in accordance with
his fathers instructions and the tenta-
tive draft was in possession OF Mr..
Pulitzer at the time of his sudden death
last month, but it had not been executed.
