Says Cry of "Politics"
Cannot Suue Hearst
Within New Mexico

The State Record" OF Santa Fe, y.
VI. declares IN its editorial columns of
FRIDAY that the fight which the state is
"aglng against the Hearst publications
MI! pc successful one because the
state Is using Americanism as its
weapon, and the cry Of "politic:."
which Hearst seeks to raise as a
shield, is a transparent subterfure
Tie editorial. in part, follows:
Pientlfully supplied with money. he
Iilearai) can afford to spend gener-
ously to save his enterprises rom the
scrap heap He does not dare to fail
TO spend. His henchmen are finding
helpers IN New Mexico, as elsewhere
some OF them are serving through
sneer stupidity, not realizing the sig
nliicanca Of what they are doing;
others have axes TO grind, while few
are not unmindful of the possibiiit-
OF reward OF one kind or another.
Wont Fall for Game"
The plea to be used in New. Mexico
IS that the campaign against Hearst is
purely matter OF politics. Since the
majority OF the New Mexico Council
CT Deiehce IS composed OF Republicans
and since Hearst is thought to De a
l'emocra., II was believed that a large
number OF the simplc-rinded would
'fall' for the game That belief, was
%rong s on two counts: New Mezice;' does
not have large numbers of simple

crat;'--but above his political af1jlia-
tlons each one puts his allegiance to
America. Both are with the council
IN this campaign against Hearst. An
other belief founded in error is that
Hearst is Democrat. The only thing
IN the world that Hearst stands for
IS Hearst. He has no other interest
or concern.
Any Old Thing Next
IF any man is able to believe that
Hearst is honest in his support of the
Administration, or that the support
will be continued, that man has a
lively imagination. Many years ago
Colonel Roosevelt charged that Hearst
was the real assassin Of President
Nc kinley. Long after that Hearst
embraced Colonel Roosevelt-in his
aewspapers-not because he admired
Colonel Roosevelt. but because he be-.
lieved that thereby he was making a
moro effective campaign against Presi-
dent Wilson. And tomorrow. if the
interests of Hearst apparently made
such course dcsirable-or safe-he
would checrfully stab or embrace
either one, or both, of the men,"

Girl, Kidnapped,
Finds Brother
After 81 Years

TRENTON. n. j., July s.-Like a
note from the grave was the letter re-
ceived short time ago by Lieutenant
George Dinges, stationed at Tullytown
Penn, from his sister, Mrs. A. A. Hay
wood, of Long Hill, Conn, who was kid
mapped thirty-four years ago, when she
was baby, and who was long since
given up as dead.
The story of Lieutenant Dinges and
IS sister beng reunited reads like
notion. George Dinges and his sister,
80. May, were the only children OF Mr.
and Mrs. William D.nses. % Mount

she could never be located.

Meanwhile the missing child had
grown TO womanhooG and had married
A. A. Haywood. One child resulted
from the union.
Following the deaths Of the Heb,
bards, it leaked out that Mrs. Haywood

her real name was Dinges. This news
surprised the woman, and she at once
began looking up all the families nameo

learned that lieutenant named George
Dinges was in the United States aSlns
and she communicated with the ac,
jutant general, being informed later
that the man she sought was stationeo
at Tullytown.
Mrs. Haywood went 30 Mount hlseo

Borden Children
Lose Fight for
$2,018,000 Estate
Not Entitled to Fortune
Left by Grandfather,
Surrogate Finds

Surrogate Cohalan yesterday con-
irmed the report Of John Couch. IS
referee, who held that the thre children
Of the late DR.. Matthew S. Borden were
not entitled to the S2,O1S,00O left him
by his father. Che late Matthew c. D.
Borden, on condition that the sons
marriage to Miss Mildred n. Negbauer
be dissolved.
VI. c. d. Borden was president Of the
American Printing Company, Of Fall
river, Mass, and head of the cotton
goods firm of 81 c. D. Borden & Sons.
He left an estate valued at sS,165,9lO.
Dr. Borden, one Of the three sons, while
a student at Yale in 1893 married Miss
Negbauer, the daughter of New
Haven tailor.
Ordered Son to Dissolve Marriage
MIR. Borden died in 1912. He made
his will in 1894, leaving the residue Of
his estate to his three sons, DR.. NJ. S.
Borden, Bertram H. Borden and How
ard S. Borden. Each share amounted d
to S2,0l8,00Q. DR.. Borden was to re-
ceive half the principal when he be-
came th.rty-tve years old. The fol-
lowing day the testator executed a
codicil to his will, in which he ex-
pressed strong disapproval of his sons
marriage and provided that Matthew
was not to receive any part of the es-
tate while he remained the husband Of
Miss Negbauer. His wife and children
also were excluded from participation
in the estate The two other sons were
TO receive Matthew's share in case he
failed to comply with the terms of his
fathers will.
DR.. Borden remained loyal to his wife
up to the time of his tragic death in
1914, when he was killed in an automo-
bile accident. Mrs. Borden divorce d
him in 1895 in South Dakota on the
ground Of desertion, but the coupje
were remarked in 1897 in Worcester
Mass.
Children Fight VIII
The children of DR.. Borden are
Gladys Minerva, Muriel Durfee and
Harriet Dorothy. Through their guar
dian they filed objections in the Sur
rogates' Court to the accounting of tho
three executors of Matthew c. D. Ror-
den, who We're the late John W. Ster-
hns, Bertram H. Borden and Howard S.
Borden. Their accounting showed a
balance on hand amounting to s5.I20 :
936. The objections were made to Inc
distribution of Dr.. Borden's share of
the residue between the two other sons
which counsel contended should go to
D.. Eerden's three daughters. Par
tlculariy did the guardian Of the
children except to the terms OF Mr.
borden's codicil, whose provisions, i
was contended, were contrary to public
policy and good morals.
Referee Couch found that two para
graphs OF Mr.. Borden's codicil relating
10 the domestic affairs of his son were
lhEana' as contrary to public policy, but
upheld the discretionary powers Of the
executors TO hold up the share of the
estate chat was conditionally left ia
DR.. Borden. The referee decided. and
vas sustained by Surrogate Cohalan
that all the children of Dr. Borden are
entitled to is the income on their
fathers share for the two years be.
tween the deaths of father and SON.
