MOVE TO INVOLVE
MORE STILLMANS
Three Generations of Family
May Be Drawn Into Action
Through Baby Guy. .
DELAY SEEMS CERTAIN
Long and Costly Litigation
Hangs on Answer Of Bank
er's Lawyers.

Whilc tie lawyers for James A. Still
man refused yesterday to discuss the
latest move of John K. Mack, guardian
for baby Guy Stillman, 1t was learned
that they look upon it as an effort on
the part Of Mrs. Stillman's counsel to
force settlement through a threat to
bring into court three generations of
the Stillman family and to prolong in
definitely .he legal proceedings which
now arr in their second year. What at
titude Mr.. Stilfnan's attorneys will take
Friday when they answer the order at
White Plains could not be ascertained.
hut it was said they probably will con-
tend there is no need OF multiplying the
number of defendants, as the entire fam
lily will be bound by the court ruling
for Guy.
Coupled with the order to show cause
is stay of all proceedings in the suit
until the motion is disposed of. Hear
ings we're to be resumed Tuesday. at
Poughkeepsie, but it is considered prob
able that there will not be one for many
weeks. II not months. II Justice Nor
schauser upholds Mr. Macks motion
complaints will have to be served on
every descendant OF the late James A.
Stillman. and as several of them are
minors legal guardians will have to be
appointed to accept service All this
will consume time.
1t Is not considered beyond a possibil-
ity that the latest court move may ac-
tually be the beginning Of the end of
the ligitation. Friends Of the Stillman
family point out that the sisters and
brothers Of the banker do not wish to
have their names drawn into the suit
any further than they already have been
and that to prevent such an eventuality
1t is understood they would go to all ex-
tremes to effect a settlement.
Then also the financial side is to be
considered. The suit already has cost
Mr.. Stillman well into seven figures. II
It goes on and new guardians are ap-
pointed, all at his expense, tie cost
probably would be doubled. Continued
litigation. 1t was pointed out, means a
continuance Of the publicity which all
along has been irksome to the Stillman
family.
The previous negotiations for settle
ment were conducted by Mr.. Stillman
through John A. Carver, his own attor-
ncys. Cornelius J. Sullivan. Outerbridge
Horsey and William Rand, being ig-
nored. Cyrus H. Mccormick of Chicago.
president of the International Harvester
Company, was credited with being the
ations. Persons following the suit close
ly express the belief that so much pres
sure may be brought to bear on Mr..
Stillman during the next few days by
his own family, the McCormicks and the
Rockefellers that an early settlement
may be expected.

ABSOLVED CAPTAIN
FLOUTS SHIP BOARD
Randall Refuses to Attend In
quiry Into Neglect Of Three
Men in Sinking Boat.

Capt. A.. d. Randall, formerly master
OF the Shipping Board steamship Hud-
son operated by the United States Lines,
who was exonerated last week by the
United States Steam Vessel Inspectors
for failing to go to the Eelp Of three
men in a sinking notorboat off the AM
brose Channel Lighthip on October s.
refused yesterday to obey the order Of
the Shipping Board to appear before it
for investigation.
Randall went to the office of Col.
Robert M. Watkins Of the boards cper-
ating department and delivered to the
Colonel a typeritten statement. inspired
by his counsel. Maurice Deiches, in which
he said that IAN investigation duly held
by the only legally constituted authority
to hold Investigations in the United
States. viz. the United States Local In
spectors Of Steam Vessels. a branch OF
the Department of Commerce, has COM
pletely exonerated me-
Capt. Randall said he would not sub
NIT his case to further inquiry by the
Shipping Board because sit would be, In
inspectors and might be construed as a
reflection. not so much on their authority
as on their Judgment, and possibly on
their integrity"
The Captain asserted that his refusal
to go to the office OF the Shipping Board
Is based also on Statements made by
those presumably in authority clearly
Indicating that any decision or finding
that might In any way be favorable to
me would not meet with their approval:
obviously, an investigation conducted
by any one who was already prejudiced.

II am acting on the advice of my
counsel. and / am thoroughly aware OF
my rights in the matter. intend to pur-
sue vigorously any remedies which may
be afforded to me by the law against
those making false and misleading state
ments to the public"
In answer. Col. watkins said Capt.
Randall. as an employee Of the Shipping
Board, should have obeyed the summons
to appear before 1t. He Is under sus
pension and 1t is quite likely that the
suspension will be made permanent un-
less Capt Randall reconsiders his de-
cision.
Capt. Randall's license as shipmas-
ter will not be affected by his dismissal
from the service Of the Shipping Board.
but 1t may be diffiscult for him to get
place as skipper because Of his refusal to
attend a hearing by the board.

mand of Capt. Paul II. Kreibohm. Her
chief radio operator, A. j. Carr. who sent
messages about the distressed motor
