DR.. MACARTHUR RETURNS

The Rev. Dr. Robert S. Macarthur, who
resigned from the pulpit Of Calvary Baprlst
Church, in this city, 10 become president
of the Worlds Baptist Alliance, arrived
here last night on the Cunarder Campanla
from Liverpool. He had been to Russia to
attend the dedication OF a new Baptist
church in st. Petersburg and to get per-
mission from the Russian government for
the founding Of a Baptist college there.
MY ruission abroad was successful in
every way" he said last night. Il re-
ceived the utmost courtesy from Curtis
Guild, the American Ambassador, who
helped me as much as his diplomatic posi-
ton would permit. The situation in Russia
to-day, as far as Americans are concerned
Is extremely difficult. In certain sense
every American in Russia or going to
Russia is persona non grata. My mission
To St Petersburg was made more difficult
by the action OF Congress in abrogating
the treaty of 1922. All Russians claim that
commercially they have no desire to per
petuate the treaty, but they feel sensitive
concerning the action of our Congress"

DENIES HAWLEY LEFT WILL
Lawyer SAYS No Document Fa.
voring Miss Cameron Exists.
THINKS FORTUNE S5,OOo,oO0
Declares Estate, with Homes In
cluded, Is Not So Large
as Reported.

Edwin Hswley's relatives are worrying
a great deal more over the prospect OF
having to be content with an inher.ance
! only half as big as they had hoped for
than they are over the report that Miss
Margaret Cameron has discovered a Will.
signed by her benefactor on his deathhsd.
which gives her goody slice OF his estate.
One OF the lawyers in the case said daily
Yesterday that no third viii existed. He
cid say, however. that Mr.. Hawley had
provided for the mistress % his household
/ IN his lifetime. and that the relstives were
igelined to tfeat her generously
But if the estimate Of close friend end
business associate OF the late railroad man
can be accepted as approximately corvect.
these same relatives will have far less TO
be generous with than was at first sup
posed. Instead Of an estate estimated st
from Sl0,oo0,00o to &0.0o0000, this man
thought Mr.. Hswley's property would be
found to be worth about S5.000,O00 or less.
This includes the value Of the big country
place just across the Babylon line In West
Isllp, Long Island, for the lawyer denied
also that Hawley had given his country
place TO Miss cameron--a rumor that arose
from a remark she is said 10 have made to
the gardener shortly after the nnancier's
death The records OF Suffolk County show
no deed, he said, transferring this property.
A search Of the records of New York
County showed that Hawley's New York
home, at No. 10 East 60th street, also be~
longed TO the estate.
1t way reported that Miss Cameron, fol-
lowing 'Hawley's death, went to his Baby
lon home with Mrs Walter 5. crandeh and
found the third will, supposed 10 have been
made by Hawley on his oeathbed. The
lawyer said that Miss Cameron was out OF
town for a full week before Hawlsy died.
and therefore could not nave influenced
him to draw UP document In her favor.
