volving $9.ls7,6I2, will be reopencd
there in the federal courts, after the
supreme court OF California had refused
to grant a rchearng on its decision
reversing the superior court.
Representatives in Honolulu of John
ID. Spreckels and his brother AdoIph
B., both of San Francisco. received in
structions today to protect the interests
OF their principals IN n sale pending
there of property left by the late Claus
Spreckels, valued at about $500,000. A
deal for the sale had been almost com
pleted.
W. l. Brobeck, Of counsel for John D.
Spreckels and Adolph B.. said tonight
that the cable orders had been sent with
the specific idea Of reopening the con-
test in the federal courts. Although
the Hawaiian courts decision will ap-
ply only to property held there, an ap-
peal taken by either side would carry
the case to the United States supreme
court. This would necessitate the inter
pretation of the will by the higher court
aud if its Interpretation differed from
that of the state courts, there might
be possibility Of reopening the case
here.
The will Of the late Claus Spreckels,
a sugar refiner, has been in the courts
since 1908. 1t named Claus A. Spreck-
els. now of New York, and Rudolph
Spreckels Of San Francisco, executors
to dispose of real property to the
amount Of S5700,Oo0. and personal
property in excess Of $3,600,000.
Half went to the widow who died three
days before the superior court broke
the will, The other half went to the
two executors and Mrs. Emma c. Fer
vided in equal shares John D, and
Adolph b. Spreckels the elder sons,
were cut off but they had been pro-
vided for prior TO the father s death.
The elder sons attacked the will on
the ground that trust for which it
provided was illegal.
