lived in the middle ages he said, 'but
1t cannot exist now for long, because

ENGLAND COMMENTS
ON REPORTED COMING
OF ASTOR MILLIONS
(Bv Assoeiated Press

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The remark
made yesterday by Major John J. AS
tor who said Il am transferring my,
wealth from America to this country"
was treated as a big item of news in
this mornings papers. One headline
read, "Astor's Millions Coming Here"
By some it was assumed that the ma
jor, who is a brother of Viscount As
tor, merely referred to his recent in
vestment in Lord Northcliffe's share
of the London Times stock. which he
and j. A. Walter purchased for more
than $6,000,000, but others gave the
remark more sensational turn.
Major Aston, who is conteSting for
a seat from Dover in the coming cleo
tions, made the statement in replying
to heckler who inquired whether he
was going to expose his own wealth
to British taxation.
NEW YORK, Nov 3.-There was
much speculation in New York today
over the reported announcement in
London yesterday by Major the Hon.
John Jacob Aston that he was trans
ferring his wealth from America to
England. The realty and personal
| holdings Of the late Baron Civilian
Waldorf) Astor in the United States
totaled more than $4,000, 900, accord
ing to referees report filed last
March in supreme court.
If this vast fortune, in which Major
Aston participates with Viscount AS
tor his eldest brother, $4,000, 900 is
represented in realty. The property
was conveyed to the two sons in trust
in 1919, and the income from that
source is placed at S., 291, 26O. In ad-
| dition, Major Aston was given out
right by his father Manhattan realty
| valued at more than $7,000,000.
Several pieces of New York proper
! ty have been sold by Major Astor in
the last few years, but it is consid-
cred unlikely he will dispose of ali
real estate in this country, but rather
will transfer his income or personal
property to England.
Major Astor, in conjunction with
John A. Walter, recently purchased
