WILSON DATE LAND
CLAIM CONTESTED
Action Begun Involving Sixty
Acres Conveyed to Him
BY His Wife.

Los Angeles, Jan. 22.--The ownership
Of sixty acres Of date land in the Goa
chella Valley. in Southern California,
decided 10 President Wilson by his VIE
was contested to-day In a complicated
proceeding before the Register and Re-
ceiver Of the United States Land once
here. The President and Homer L. Cod
dard. a date planter, claim the land' ana
three entries were fled on IL.
The contest was brought by John I.
King. a rancher, who sold the land u
Mrs. Margaret Arson Elliott, sister OF
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and wife or Edward
Elliott. former dean OF Princeton Uni
yersity, now O. resident OF Berkeley, Cal.
Mrs. Elliott sold the property to Mrs.
Wilson, and the Presidents wife In turn
decided It TO the President.
King brought the contest, which hinges
on the faulty publication OF notice OF
filing, because as the seller OF the land ne
guaranteed title.
In his pleading King alleges that con-
spiracy TO commit fraud was carried out
by Mrs. Maud Compton Hensie or Los
Angeles, and her brother. John L. Comp
ton, editor OF a little newspaper in the
Coachela Valley. one OF his CHER ex-
hibits is a deed naming President Wilson
as the owner OF the land. If Kings con-
test Is successful the President Will re-
main owner but an adverse decision Will
turn the land over TO Homer i. Goddard
athletic director Of the Los Angeles High
School, who, in September. paid Mrs
Hensie $500 cash and gave her note for
$3.50 for her REIMBURSEMENT OF claim.

lives.
"The truth Is gradually coming out,
he said. Then he walked away.
1t was learned last night that Mr..
sulzer has told District Attorney Whit
man of another conference he held with
Mr.. Murphy in the library Of the Exec
utive Chamber, in Albany, on the
morning of March %, in which the
Gaffney matter was discussed for two
hours after midnight. 1t is said that
Mr.. Sulzer has promised District At
torney Whitman to furnish the details
OF the conversation between him and
Murphy practically verbatim.
When Governor Sulzer was asked last
night whether he had planted detecta-
graphs In the library he refused TO
answer.
1t was also learned that Mr.. Whit
