The Won Schmettow family, living
on their rich. estates at PommerZig,
are keeping their own counsel on
the case.
But United Press investigation at
Berlin indicated that the old count
had interposed objections to the
match at the eleventh hour. Miss
Fletcher told the United Press in
Berlin that tardiness in filing her

caused a postponement of the we'd
