CROKER FIGHTING
FOR SISTERS, NOT
SELF,FR|ENDSAYS
Three Suits to Contest viii of
Former Tammany
Leader.

"Richard Croker jr., in starting a
fight against his fathers Indian
BRIDE for his share of his fathers
millions. is not making a fight for
himself at all. He doesn't need any
of his fathers money, He has enough
for his two sisters, Ethel and May,
and for his brother Howard"
This is what close personal friend
of Mr.. Croker said to-day after the
publication of the sons statement
that he would fight for n share of
his fathers estate. This friend, who
lis apparently well informed about the
plans of the eldest son, said it was
his firm conviction that if Croker is
named as beneficiary in his fathers
will he will refuse TO take a cent.
Frederick II. Ryan, Mr. Croker's
counsel, when told of this statement
declined either to affirm or deny 1t.
II think" said the attorney, that
Mr. Crokers statement speaks for 1t
self. He mentions only himself, but
if there is any doubt that there is GO
ing to be fight to the finish, / can
assure you on that point. Legal pro-
ceedngs will be carried on at three
points at the same time-in New YORK
City, in Florida, and in Ireland
The litigation in this city, so far as
can be learned, is for Mr.. Croker him
self. He is suing for the recovery
of sl55, 900, which he says he advanced
to his father out of his own pocket.

In those days everything was
serene in the family circle. Pleasant
letters were being exchanged between
Mr.. Croker ST. and the members ol

for an accounting, which was after
the rift in the family Lutte, the ole
