BOSTON, Aug. 21.-The first move
in the fight for the S50,O00,0QO of the
late Edward f. Searles, of Methuen,
has been started with the filing of
formal request with the Essex County
register of probate by Currier & Young,
State street attorneys, representing Al
bert Victor Searles, the nephew who
was cut off with $25O0O0, asking that
they be heard on any application for
a special administrator
Former Senator Guy w. Currier head
of the law firm, said that this move
does not necessarily mean that an at
tempt is to be made to break the will
by his client 1t is an action primarily
intended to protect his interests in the
estate. he explained Further action
will depend upon the developments of
the next few weeks, he said.
LAWYERS regard the request as viz
tually notice of a contest of the Will
Special administrators, they point out,
are appointed only for estates which
are in dispute, and it is known that
the Younger Mr. Searles is anything but
satisfied with the will, which leaves
him only a small share of the estate,
while giving it's bulk to Arthur T..
Walker of New York.
Albert Victor SearIes stands to lose
| the $250,000 left to him if he contests
| the will Even assisting or eo-operat-
| ing with others who NAV wish to break
| the will would, according to its ex-
plicit terms, cut any of the benefciaries
off entirely. Attorney Currier, there
| fore, maintains that the filing of the
| request is only tentative move that
cannot be construed as opposition to
| the will
| 1t is hoped BY attorneys for the ben.
eficiaries that ii may not be necessary
iIfor them to file suit to break the doc
| ument, for other relatives, ready and
willing to fight, have appeared. Den
mis-. f.. Mari Of MECHANICS Falls, Me-
| a 77-year- cousin of Searles, has en-
| gagged as counsel former Congressman
| Daniel j. McGillicuddy of Lewiston
| Me. Whether he will attempt to con-
! test. the will is prohlematical. As he
is not named in the instrument, he has
nothing to lose.
Another claimant that Mr.. Searles
| overlooked is Mrs. Susan f. Allen OF
4.5lS Delmar Boulevard, st. Louis
| She is a cousin and her attorneys have
been active in obtaining information
in Lawrence regarding the will
Dissatisfied claimants have until
| Sept 6 to file formal objections and
/ ask for a hearing. 1t is believed that
before that date papers win be filed
| for, or with the consent of some of the
| claimants.

Speeders

The ice skating. indoor racing sea
son Is scheduled to open next week

will exhibit here. The tentative date
selected is November 8. Joe Moore. a
New York boy, who won the go and
40 yard championships In the inter-
national championship races at Lake
Placid, N. Y, last winter, will be the
headliner.
A special track, twelve laps to the
mile, has been laid out on the Ice
Palace rink. Two of the turns have
been widened in order to avoid spills,
which take place on the regulation
ovals. This track is designed to favor
the speeders and eliminate the element
Of danger.
In addition to Moore there will be
entered Billy Murphy. national one :
mile. champion Don Robinson, metro :
politan one and three mile champion :
Leslie Boyd, metropolitan point scoring
champion Don Baker, metropolitan n
40 0ryard champion, and Joe Miller, A
former national champion. Bobby
Hearn, a star Brooklyn amateur, also
will compete.
The list Of Philadelphia starters has
not been announced. This city has not
