Unwitnessed Will Is
Held To Be Illegal
Appellate Division Reverses
Bronx Surrogate, Who Ad-
mitted 1t to Probate

The Appellate Division yesterday,
Justice Shearn dissenting, reversed the
action of Surrogate Schulz, of Bronx
County. in admitting to probate the will
OF John H. Cogan, resident of The
Bronx. The testator left his estate
to his cousin, Miss Mary Cullen, and
the Salvation Army.
Two years before his death, in
April, 1917, Mr.. Cogan wrote state
ment, telling how he wished to DISPOSE
OF his property. While on his death
bed in hospital he called doctor
and nurse and confirmed his written
statement by pointing out Miss Cullen
as his beneficiary. The Appellate Di-
vision rejected the will and reversed
Surrogate Schulz, who admitted the
Cogan will, on the ground that the nee
essary Requirements the making
or VIII had not been complied with.
Justice Shearn, who voted in favor
OF admitting the will, said in his dis
sentlng opinion: 81 do not think we
are compelled to hold that a statute
enacted to prevent fraud and substan-
TALLY complied with shall be applied
SO literally as to destroy the will and

Upstate Counties
Solid for Whitman.
Says w. w. Cocks
Governors Campaign Man.
ager Asserts No Sentiment
for Bennett Exists

William W. Cocks, Governor Whit
mans campaign manager, returned to
headquarters yesterday after weeks
trip through Central New York. He
said ne found the upstate counties SOL
id for the Governor.
The Governors attitude toward the
war, his clean and efficient administra-
ton and his aggressive stand on all
progressive legislation are the main
reasons for his remarkable popularity" ;"
said Mr.. Cocks. Very little pro-Lewis
sentiment exists anywhere and none
whatever for Bennett. Monroe County,
where Mr.. Lewis resides. will give q
.arge majority for Whitman.
1.-THE sentiment among the women is
especially strong for the Governor, and
we are expecting large woman vote
TOR his denomination. The women are
organizing committees and will take an
active part in the campaign.
Il found the feeling among farmers
to be very favorable to the Governor.
Efforts on the part OF politically inter-
ested persons to create anti Whitman
sentiment through the forming of So
called agricultural organizations have
tailed of their object. The farmers
have made up their minds they will
not be exploited to pull some other
folks chestnuts from the fire From
everything | have seen and heard, / am
more than ever convinced the Governor
Will win in the primaries by tremen-
dous majority"
Ex-Assemblyman William Coffey. of
Mount Vernon, leader of the Whitman
forces IN Westchester County, said last
night there would be 5000 signatures
to the Whitman petitions in Westches-
ter County by tonight.
We have been out only five DAYS
getting names, and the showing is re-
markable," said Mr.. Coffey. Eve have
found considerable resentment among
the people because the Westchester
County Committee selected it's dele
gates to the Saratoga convention in
stead OF elctlng them at unofficial pri-
mares, as was done in three counties
New York, Kings and Albany"
Mr.. Corey SAID two members Of +ha
Westchester Republican County Com
mlttee, which is solidly for ATTORNEY
General Lewis, would resign in a day
or two. He would not divulge their
names, but said that when they sent
IN their letters of resignation thev
would announce their support of Gov,
ernor Whitman. The New Rochelle
Republican Club, he added, had in
dorsed Governor Whitman at its meet
ing Friday night.
The Lewis forces maintained silence
yesterday, but, like the Whitman fol-
lowers, they were busy whetting their
axes for the fight at the Saratoga con
yentlon on July 18. Both sides we're
doing gumshoe work in BROOKLYN,
where considerable bitterness exists
and where each side claims victory in
Fridays primaries.
One result of the primaries was the
announcement of Harold L. Turk. who
brought about the defeat of Jacob
Brenner. the veteran leader Of the Sth

r;fteen.Year-Old Girl Is
Caught at Hampstead by
Military Police
Denies Her Identity
Finally Confesses and Admits
Wandering Around Long
Island Resorts

After weeks wanderings at "Coney"
srd other places on Long Island, Viola
Davidson, the fifteen year old girl from
San Antonio, Tex, who disappeared
from the apartment of ner parents. at
% Gates Avenue, Brooklyn. was picked
M Yesterday morning at Herpstead by
the military police.
It was not until hours later, how
ever. that her identity was revealed.
Arraigned before Justice Of the Peace
Walter R. Jones, after ,'he had Leen
seen lettering around the military en-
campments in Hampstead, she said she
was Virginia Clayton and lived at 27l
Prospect Place.
Under that name and address she
was turned over to the Children's So
eiety of Brooklyn. There she was
placed in room with several other

the matron on duty, recognized her as
the Davidson girl, for whom q general
alarm had been sent out
Denied Her Identity
Questioned concerning her identity,
the girl at first stoutly denied that her
name was Viola Davidson Efforts for
time to reach her parents failed. for
they were following several clews, the
mother at Coney Island and the father
in another direction. Miss Burchell
was insistent, however, and finally after
an hours questioning the girl broke
down and confessed she was Viola
Davidson.
Then flood of tears followed as she
sobbed how sorry she was that she had
left home and caused her parents such
worry. Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson were
finally communicated with and arrived
at the society's rooms
1t was chiefly through the efforts of
Captain Potter. of the Amy Intell-
gence Bureau that the girl was found.
When the police failed to locate her
after she had been reported missing
Captain Potter sent description o.
her to each of the commanders OF can
tonments in the vicinity OF New York.
The Naval Intelligence Bureau also
sent out description to the Pelham
bay and New York navy yard districts.
