Maryland Boronet Sadly Sees
His Things Sold for $500

to do now. He had expected at
torneys in Scotland to arrange
for passage with funds from his
| baronetcy, to which title was
cleared for him in July. But
they informed him British none
tary regulations would not per-
NIT them to send him any funds.
Sir Adrian then decided to
auction of all his property here.
The bidding was small from
the outset. An old 112-ton truck
brought only $65. An old Ford
automobile brought SIS. Four
dollars was the highest bid for
his tractor. A great many small
items Of furnishings in the house
brought 5 to 10 cents apiece.
But after clearing these out.
he rejected the $4,000 offer for
the house and farmland.
The baronetcy which will be
Sir Adrian's after he gets to
Scotland contains 3,400 acres,
about half Of it arabic land. In
addition to small farms, there
is some woodland and a crum-
bling old mansion. He has also
been told it includes a consid-
cradle amount of silverware and
some old paintings. The total
value he does not know.

enough to go to Scotland and
claim the baronetcy he in
herited, sadly watched his per-

auction today for 5000.
He commented afterward: "It
hurt. I've had nothing but a

The 60-year-old Eastern Shore
carpenter, housepainter and
farmer refused to let his five
room house and two-acre farm
be sold for $4,000. the highest
bid received for it. He said
$2,500 was the least he would
take and that he would find
some other means of raising ad-
ditional money for the ocean
passage and clothing he and his
wife need.
The house, however, was
stripped of all furnishings in
the small bidding by a crowd of
about 80 persons, many of them
neighbors of Dunbar the past
seven years.
He and his wife planned to
stay with neighbors the rest of
the weekend. Tomorrow they'll
