FRICTION DENIED
BY HAWLEY HEIRS
Attorney Says Amicable Relations
Exist Between Miss Cameron and
Magnate's Own Family.

New York, Feb. 1s.-John B. Stanch-
field. attorney in chief Of the cohort OF
legal talent engaged by the administra-
tors Of the estate of the late Edwin Haw-
ley, millionaire fnancier and railroad
builder. to-day declared that the most
amicable relations exist between Miss
Margaret Cameron. Hawley's ward, and
his blood relatives. He said that Miss
Gamern will make no claims whatsoever
upon the administrators
1T will be a month, possibly" said
Mr.. Stanchfield before the estate is in
such arrangement that the papers in the
case will be filed with the surrogate. The
administrators are working in harmony
with all others concerned.
Regarding Miss Cameron. I will say
just this: She has no claim at all to the
estate, and does not mean to file any.
l wish to silence once for all, too, this
report that there was any ceremony Of
marriage between Mr. Hawley and Miss
Cameron. II is absurd to even think that
she later became his wife.
Miss Cameron, as far as know, has
no counsel and intends to continue her
friendly relations with the heirs of Mr..
HRwley. During the lifetime of Mr..
Hawley she met and became very inti-
mate with his kin. Why, then, should
she suddenly become different? She has
seen the administrators, and know she
is considered % a friend by them"
Miss Cameron tonight said she must
refrain from talking. The administra-
tors also refused to discuss the case.
Frederick Crandell who was suddenly
thrown out into, the world by his rich
uncle when he married pretty AdeIine
McManus, a telegraph operator at the
Hawley office, is silent. too. He and his
wife are reconciled and are living in the
suburbs

CHALONER BEGINS
FIGHT FOR ESTATE
Virginian's Attorney Tells Court
that Client was Thrown Into In
sane Asylum Without Hearing.

New York. Feb. I9.-John Armstrong
Chaloner's suit to recover control Of his
81 $4,000 fortune in this State went TO
trial to-day in the United States District
Court before Judge Holt and a jury. The
case IS one to have Thomas T. Sherman
discharged as a committee OF his person
and estate. Chaloner, II is not believed,
will appear.
Frederick A. Ware, Hugh Gordon NIL
Ter, and William ID. Redd. OF this city,
and W. Gilmer Dunn, OF Virginia, repre-
sented Chaloner. Joseph II. Choate, jr.,
and John G. Milburn represented Mr..
Sherman.
Mr.. Ware. in his opening address, went
over the fight OF the Chanler family
that resulted in Chaloner changing his
name, and declared a conspiracy had ex-
isted for the purpose of placing a bril-
liant man in an insane asylum.
He said the petition for Chaloner's
commitment had been signed by Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler and Winthrop A.
Chanler. One never had been in his
home in Virginia and the other had spent
much Of his time in Europe, so that
neither had any knowledge OF the alleged
queer acts.
He said Chaloner was seized and sent
TO BlOomlngdsle and never brought be-
fore a Judge, Il being set forth that he
was a dangerous man and likely TO harm
some one should he be forced TO appear.
Mr.. Ware denied that his client ever
had been restrained in France, as was
alleged. He admitted that Chaloner had
carried live Goals in his hand to make
scientific test Of tine amount OF physical
pain a man could stand. Mr.. Ware will
conclude his address tomorrow.
Chaloner, afte- his commitment TO
BloomIngdale. escaped and went to his
Virginia ahome. He is considered sane
there. but in New YORK IS held to be in
sane and incapable Of handling his own
money.

Stock Market Is Impatient While
Expecting Decision in the

lay II the Supreme Court Of the United
States had rendered a decision in the
soaI trust cases during business hours.
But Il did not. and therefore the trad
srs had no reason for doing anything.
In the morning they advanced the list
about a point, and in the afternoon sold
on again, put it up again, and sold
another time. Just at the close Read
ing was sold rather freely, because the
rtreet had a notion that the Supreme
Court would render its decision in the
soal case Inter in the day.

have definite ideas as to what they would

opinion seemed to be that a decision

pected to hold its own, becuase present
conditions would be continued. Decision,
making necessary a dissolution Of the
