CROKER'S KIN SEEK
SIGHT OF HIS WILL
Richard, Jr., Asks New York
Surrogate for Power to
Act for Estate Here.

Richard Croker's will disposng of his
fortune is still in possession of his widow,
the Indian princess. who remains in re-
treat in Glencairn. Ireland, while the
Tammany leaders children seek in vain
to find out what became of his millions
The will and what Mr.. Croker did with
his wealth remain a mystery.
The reluctance of the widow to make
known the contents of the will has raised
aNhope that the old Tammany man did
not forget his children. as had been sup
posed, following the family quarrels IN
the last years of his life. Richard Gro
ker, Jr., and his brother and sisters have
renewed their fight to find out what has
become Of their fathers fortune, esti-
mated at s5,000,000.
This became known yesterday when
Frederick r. Ryan of 25 Broadway,
counsel for Mr. Croker, filed petition in
the Surrogates' Court in New York
county asking for the app ointment of
'"'iIorary administrator w.th power to
drfand the three children ami the ,c,'ois
hrw pending against the es ase.
The petition sets up that it Is neces-
sary to take some action TO relieve the
children Of burdens impos I'd by carrying
the property III this country now involved
in litigation snd which is valued at close
10 S4O0,oO0. Notice is given that the
will is to be contested when filed.
There is no way the children can COM
pel the production of the will. the petit
ton states. and therefore it is necessary
for the court to intervene for the protec-
tion of the estates interests in this
county until such time as the contents of
the document are made known.
In deposition Mr.. Ryan states he
was informed by Mrs. Croker's counsel
in Dublin that Il copy of the will was
in possession of Harold Nathan of Ill
Broadway, counsel to the widow. Mr..
Ryan states that he tried through Mr..
Nathan to find out about the will, but
Nathan left for Europe leaving word
he would not return until August
One action relates to a trust fund
created by Elizabeth Croker, first wife
of the Tammany leader, amounting to
S120.000 Following Mrs. Crokers death
the income was to be divided between
Ethel and Howard, daughter and son.
Mr.. Croker later directed ii to be divided
among Ethel Florence and Howard and
later tried to revoke the agreement.
The income has been accommodating. The
principal is now in excess of $4,000,
but is tied up in litigation.
Another suit concerns a warehouse
al 536 East Seventy ninth street. Rich
ard Croker. Jr.. was agent FOR his father
in caring for the property and sets forth
that he advanced S125s sac. The equity
in the warehouse is f:ven as $4,000
and the son says the entire burden of
caring for the property rests on him.
The third action is to recover $50. 700
which Richard Croker. Jr.. alleges he
paid to his brother. Howard, on condi-
tion that his father pay like sum. The
petition states that the elder Croker did
not carry out his bargain. These suits
must remain in statu quo until a sue
cessor is substituted In the action.
