BUTTERFIELD GIFT

WON'T PAY FOR STATUE
Says Borglum's Work Fails to
Depict General-Fight De-
lays Bequests.

The question whether Gutzon Borglurn
did Gen. Daniel Butterfeld Justice when
he modelled the bronze statue now await
Ing unwilling opposite Grants Tomb has
thrown the estate Of the Generals widow
into an involved legal tangle and Is
which may amount to 100000.
The Y. NJ. c. A. bequest is to be paid
out OF the residuary estate when the
terms OF the will are otherwise compiled
with and is to be held in trust for the
benefit OF soldiers and sailors.
According to the terms Of the will OF
Mrs Julia Lorillard Butterheld, there
must first be erected TO her husba nd s
memory a colossal statue as a gift to the
city. and the Borglum work was in
tended to have measured up to all re-
quirementA
But there Is a difference in the art
Views of Mr.. Borglum and OF Albert
Francis Hagar surviving executor OF the
estate, and Mr.. Hagar so told the Appel
late Division in Brooklyn yesterday. He
said that the bronze was not a likeness
OF the General and Civil War hero; thai
the terms OF the will were therefore un-
fulfilled and that the Y. NJ. G.. A. should
be compelled to wait for the residuary
estate until the erection of a statue
meeting with his approval.
The bronze was approved by the late
DR.. Calvin S. May and David w Hark-
ness. who were named in Mrs Butter
feds will as coexecutors with Mr.
Hagar. Their recent deaths within one
hour OF each other opened the way to a
battle between their survivor and the
artist on the merits OF the work
When the statue was first accepted by
his coexecutors Mr.. Hagar denounced II
and is reported 10 have remarked that
Il made the General look as Il he were
recovering from an attack OF the
grip" The two other executors were
firm in their defence of 1t. however. and
agreed that the estate should pay the
artist $4,000.
The plans of the monument are said
TO have been approved by the Municipal
Art Commission, which selected the site
for II upon a knoll in the park at River
side Drive and Claremont avenue. This
place in proximity to Grants Tomb was
chosen because Of Gen. Butterhield's his
toric associations with the commander
Of the Union army.
Mr.. Hagar asked the Appellate Dlvi-
sion yesterday to grant him an extension
Of time in which to prepare an appeal
from Il decision OF the Surrogate OF
Putnam county. who ruled the Y NJ.
c. A. was entitled to tine residuary
estate at this time. The court reserved

proximatey 5000. 900 in all. has been
the subject OF much litigation.
Mr.. Borglum. who has long been rec

sculptors. defends his work. and has as
signed all claims against the estate to
