HEIRS FIGHTING CLAIM

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD,
NEW LONDON, Conn, May 11.-Liti-
CATION over a claim for $1,100.000 filed
against the estate of Morton F. Plant
by three of the executors of his will
the United States Trust Company
of New York, Attorney George L..
shearers of New York and Francis
Sullivan of New York-will begin to-
morrow morning before Judge Arthur
p. Anderson in the Probate Court at
Groton. The claim is being contested
by the other executors, Henry B. Plant,
a son of Mr.. Plant by his first mar
riage, and Mrs. William Hayward. who
was Mr. Plants second wife.
Attorneys for both sides are en-
deayoring to keep the proceedings as
secret as possible, but 1t was learned
tonight that one of the charges to be
made in opposition to the claim will be
that the estate of Mr. Plant has shrunk
from s33.00o.000 to s17.000,000 during
the last two and half years. 1t is un-
derstood also that Mrs Hayward and
Henry B. Plant will protest against cer-
to attorneys for the estate and other
disbursements said to have been made
by the three executors who are filing
the claim.
Mrs. Hayward and Mr.. Plant will also
object to the granting of the claim of
$1,100,000 on the ground that 1t Is an
exorbitant sum, and on the ground also
that they have made no claim for COM
pensation for their services as executors
of the estate Mrs. Hayward has re-
tanned as her counsel Judge Walter G.
Noyes. formerly of this city but now on
the United States bench in New York.
He has retained as associate counsel the
firm OF Hull, Mcguire Hull, but will
himself be present at the hearing. At
the time OF the probating OF the VIII the
firm Of Stewart q Shearers of New York
and Attorney Charles b. Whittlesey OF
New London represented the estate. C.
l.. Avery, now a judge of the Superior
Court, was appointed guardian of Philip
Mainwaring Plant. a son OF Mrs. Hay
ward by another marriage, but who was
later legally adopted by Mr.. Plant.

Paris, May IL.
Following Germany's unconditional
acceptance. of the allied ultimatum--
which was communicated to the
Allies to-day and which the more
optimistic observers here hope fore
shadows a real settlement of the rep
aration question-there has been a
quick transfer of interest from the
military situation to Frances new
financial position growing out Of
"ermany's agreement to pay the rep
aration demanded of her. In this
financial position will center some
of the biggest and most intricate
financial negotiations bankers have
ever entered into.
On the military side France in

With this acceptance there naturally
has come a wave of disbelief that Ger

ment, mingled with howls from the oc-
cupation advocates, who see their pet
project deferred. IL not entirely de-
feated, and who again raise the cry
that no real guarantee exists TO make
Germany pay.
Premier BRAND is facing terrific
battle in the Chamber of Deputies, on
the outcome OF which depends the
ability with which the Ministry can
expound the arrangement and the as
surance II can give OF outside financial
support for France on the basis OF the
new German obligations.
Frances financial experts. who are
studying the best methods OF mobiliz-

calculations on the United States and
other nations accepting the German
promise to pay at 72 per cent. Of the
