Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application for the Opening of the Probate of the Will and Codicil of Henry F. Elias, Deceased.

Opinion:
Orders reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion to vacate decree denied, with ten dollars costs. The contestants have not shown facts sufficient to afford a substantial basis for contesting the will and that reasonable probability of success to justify the opening of a decree admitting a will to probate. (Matter of Leslie, 175 App. Div. 108, 112.) Certain inferences upon which respondents rely either have been shown not to exist or have been satisfactorily explained.
