He Opposed Expected to
Cause Confusion.
IMPORTANT CASES WAIT

Confusion is expected 10 result in the
Surrogate's Court through the failure yes
terday OF Surrogate Robert Ludlow Fowler
TO empanel a jury under the new law to
try contested will cases beginning with
the January term OF court next Monday.
Three important cases are now ready for
trial and on Mondays calendar unless
they are transferred to the Supreme Court
| they will have to be postponed until the
difficulty is Strengthened out
When questioned last night about the
situation Surrogate Fowler said he was
surprised to hear that any Jury cases were
on the calendar and announced he would
send them to the Supreme Court.
Under the law which became operative

Fowler opposed when il was under con
sideratlon the Surrogate sitting In cham

through an admission by Commissioner Of

The change was made because under

Surrogate Fowler holds to his purpose
