MRS. STILLMAM
WINS DECISION
Referee Rules Against New York
Millionaire Banker In Divorce
Suit: Finds Boy Entitled to
Share Family Fortune.

Poughkeepsic. n. ". Sept. "a
Mrs. FIJI Potter Stillman won her
sensational legal battle today.
Referee Daniel J. Gleason. IN an
opinion made public today. decided
IN her favor In the divorce suit
brought by James A. Stillman. mil.
lionnire aud former president OF the
National City bank.
The referee recommended that
Stillman be refused divorce. lie
ruled that Baby Guy Stillman. cen.
trail figure Of tile famous case. Is
actually the legitimate son of Mr.
and Mrs. Stillman and therefore cil
titled TO share In the vast fortune
of the family. The contention that
Fred Deauvais, lndiar ruide, is the
father of Guy was 'ie ed as not
proven.
Geason's opinion Is that Mrs.
Stllman has proven her counter
charge that Stillman was intimate
with Florence Helen Leeds. that he
maintained her as his wife, and
that they had two children.
However. no divorce is granted
to Mrs. Stillman, as she did not
apply for actual separation.
Gleason's recommendations will
go before Supreme Court Justice
Morschauser. at Poughkeepsie. and
will be required either to confirm
or reject them. II Is the usual
procedure for the Judge to confirm
the referees decision. Stillman's
attorneys probably will file objec-
tions to such confirmation however
and also appeal the case, which will
lead to a further legal fight.

Baptist convention of Oklahoma said
this morning. "The convention ap-
preeiates the interest Chickasha is

party has been formed, the legation
said The revolution came because
the leading army officers felt that
the king did not have the confidence
of the allied powers and that this
was detrimental to the interests of
Greece. In addition to demanding
the abdication of the king, the revo-
lutionists insisted that Greek inter
ests in Europe be turned over to
former Premier Venielos who dur
ing the negotiations after the world
war won the confidence Of the
allied leaders.

New Government More Stable.

Ciy The United Press.)
Athens, Sept 29.-Colonel Coma
tas, the power behind the throne of
George II, moved today to reorgan-
ize the Greek army for a march
into Thrace to protect it against
the threatened invasion of the Ke-
malists
In official circles it was expected
that recognition Of George as the
successor of the dethroned Con-
stantine would be Forthcoming from
the allies and the United States
soon.
The new government assumed a
more stable aspect as a new caDl-
net, headed by Alexander Zaimis, a
former premier, took office.
"The full reorganization Of our
military forces to defend Thrace is
the main work of the new govern
ment.' Colonel Gonatas declared to
the United Press today.
"We wish to maintain order and
achieve the cessation of internal
divisions. We will give the country
a nonpartisan government.
'We requested the removal of
Constantine from the throne OF
Greece because he was an obstacle
in the relations with our victorious
allies. Furthermore, the revolution
was carried out to avoid the loss
of Thrace.'
Fearing that an attempt may be
made on the life of Constantine by
some Of the more unruly OF the
reyolutionists, the leaders are guard
ing his whereabouts with the great
est secrecy
In some quarters it was stated
that he was in seclusion in his
summer palace at Tatoi and others
reported that he had already been
placed aboard a cruiser to go into
exile.
Word received here from Zurich
stated that a party of Constantine's
friends had arrived here. This
would indicate that he intends to
exile himself again to Switzerland.
