expected as chief counsel for contest

the heirs to be associated with the

Thomas. Kraemer G. Humphreys to
conduct a contest OF the will which
was then in prospect. When he ar
rives he will find that the situation
has changed. for the probabilities
are that no effort will be made by
the Pittock heirs to upset the will.
It is known that Fred W. Leadbet-
ter, son-in-law OF the late publisher.
was instrumental in developing a
contest OF the will and for a time

Now. however, Leadbetter is said
to stand alone and that il any con-

II is known that an agreement has
been reached between the heirs to
hold aloof from the contest proposed
by Leadbetter. When McAdoo ar
