HEIRS OF HAWLEY AGREE
Want Railway Mans Estate Di-
vided Into Five Parts.
NEPHEW MAY GET 100000
Failure to Sign Will Gives Fort
une to Young Man Who Was
Turned Out of Office.

A statement from John b. Stanchield
counsel for the estate of Edwin Hawley,
set al rest yesterday all conjecture con-
corning the existence Of a will and its pro-
visions by announcing that Mr.. Hawley
died intestate. AS a consequence Frederick
| Crandel one Of Edwin Hawleys nephews,
with whom he had had a quarrel, will in
herit a million or so that he had not eX
pec,cd.
On the other hand, the generous pro-
vision for Miss Margaret Cameron, Mr..
| Hawleys housekeeper, which it was sup
posed he intended making in the will he
didn't sign, can only be guessed at by tho
relatives who are expected to provide for
her
Mr.. Stanchfelds statement follows:
In April 1905. the late Edwin IIawley
made a last will and testament. which re-
maincd i'm force until the middle or latter
part Of the year 1902 when he destroyed II.
! Thereafter a last will and testament was
prepared by Mr. StanChiicld in accordance
with Mr. Iawlcy's directions, and while It
was modified and corrected by Mr.. llaWley
I'm some minor details II was never exc
CutCd.
A
under the law provided for cases Of in
tcstacy. His failure 10 execute this suhse-
quent will was doubtless owing to the ia't
that he had not been appriscd that his last
Illness would prove fatal
Tho administrators Of his estate repre-
sent all the interests OF Mr. IiaWlcy's rca-
tiyes, and they will endeavOr, in every legal
way so to administer his affairs as not 10
securities Of the many enterprises I'm which
he was Interested So far as Is possible;
the plans formulated by Mr.. Hawlcy Will
no carried out by his representatives., and
the persons who have succeeded TO his os
tate have now under sdvi5cment an ar
rarEcm'nt which IS designed to preserve
the estate intact for q considerable period
of time i'm order to afford the fullest pro-
lection TO the securities and TO enable the
cfectuation Of Mr.. Havlcy's plans.
Miss Cameron called Yesterday to see Mr.
Stanchhcld. on leaving the lawyers office
she said:
II have left everything to the discretion
of Mr.. Stanchfcld and Mr. Crandell"
rs there any truth in rumor that you
were married to Mr. Hawlcy?" she was
asked.

piled
Mr. Stanchfcld, asked If any provision
would be made for Miss Cameron in the
administration Of the Hawley estate, said:

This nephew twenty years ago was en-

Southern Pacific Company, Of which Edwin

Some Of the young mans associates ana

dismissed him about the time the nephew
became engaged to Miss McManus, a tele-
