2 SUING DE LAMAR
ESTATE AS FRIENDS"
Assert He Would Have Made
Good Stock Losses.

Kenneth L. Spence, representing the
seven claimants against the estate of
Capt. Joseph r. De Lamar, who are
seeking TO recover 100000 on invest
ments which they claim to have made
on Capt. DE Lamars advice, issued a
statement yesterday that none of the
claimants has any but the kindliest feel
ings toward the memory Of the late Cap
tain. Mr.. Spence said he desired in their
behalf to correct statements to tho con-
trary which have been published in the
newspapers.
1t Is made to appear that the suits
were Instituted on the basis of promise
made by Capt De Lamar that he would
make good any losses his friends sus-
tained.. Miss Alice De Lamar. daugh-
ter, has testified, Mr.. Spence said. that
his promise was fully understood, and
that all OF the claimants we're his close
personal friends. Capt. De Lamar was
extremely careful to protect them by
giving a guarantee against loss, accord
ing TO this statement
Mr.. Spence pointed out that Capt De
Lamar died leaving an estate Of sac. 000,-
600 and could not have had any personal
intention of profit in the Investments.
He stated that at given time some of the
investments under issue would undoubt-
eddy prove to be profitable. He then
quoted testimony which he said was
given by William Nelson Cromwell, one
OF the executors OF the estate, to the ef-
feet that In advising his friends to put
their money In selected investments the
Captain was sctuated only by the desire
to help them make a little extra money.
One OF the claimants was assured by
Capt. De Lamar just before his death,
Mr.. Spence said, that Capt De Lamar

were at that time more than 100000.
If the suit Is successful, the funds to
repay the claimants losses will come
from gifts by Capt De Lamar to Co
lumba. Harvard and Johns Hopkins uni
versities.

HYLAN Is ASKED TO
RECALL CURB VETO
Aldermen Threaten to Pass
Bill Over His Head II He
Fails to Act.
ANGRY, BUT MUST LAUGH
Merriment Over Big Error
Can't Be Helped-Old De-
cision Can Help Mayor.

Members Of the Board OF Aldermen
are exceedingly angry at Mayor Hylan
because OF his veto OF the ordinance
unanimously passed. that would have re-
quired each curb broker to take out
license costing $500. While they are
laughing at his mistake In declaring
that IL would be Ineffective because 1t
did not cover all the streets OF the city,
when as a matter OF fact 1t had been
carefully amended to cover that point,
they are really put out because he did
not see fit to consult any member OF the
board in advance of sending to them his
remarkable veto message.
President Moran of the Board OF Al
dermen was wondering yesterday
whether the Mayor would have the eour-
age to acknowledge his mistake and
withdraw his veto message. There Is
court decision which says that such
message does not become effective until
it has been actually delivered at meet
ing of the board. As the board has adj
journed for the summer the message is
still In the hands of the clerk.
In case the message is not withdrawn
IL is possible that q special meeting OF
the Board will be called to pass the ordi-
nance over the Mayors veto.
mo member of the Board was con-
suited by the Mayor prior to his veto Of
the curb brokers' ordinance said Presi-
dent Moran. las a result the Mayor
has vetoed II under a grave misappre-
tension, which would not have been pos
sible had he talked over the measure
with any one Of us.
Because OF the Mayors failure to
consider US l am of the impression that
We should use our poT.er. il number OF
the Aldermen are talking OF a special
session to pass the ordinance over the
veto"
As not single member of the Board
voted against the passage of the ordi-
nance, 1t would be an easy matter to get
the two-thirds vote necessary to re-

says:
