I'ho- hv Fact That Second Mrs. Astor Was Minor When Pre-Xuptlal Contract Was Drawn Declared to Have Xo Unfavorable Effect, NEW YORK, May 17. Vincent Astor. It Is said, has received assurances that the will of his father. John Jacob Astor. which was offered for probate today, will be probated without contest. Lewis Cass Ledyard. who drew the will, has Informed the heirs of his personal opinion that the instrument is legally Invulnerable. In additicn to that, it is said that the young widow has ex pressed no dissatisfaction with her set tlement and has indicated no Intention of making a contest Young Mrs. Astor was a minor when the marriage settlement -was made. She still is a minor. The lawyers, howeven declare that this was taken into con sideration when the contracts were drawn. Iswnea All Considered. "Mr. Ledyard." said a lawyer, "knew more than anyone else Just what effect each Instrument would have upon the other. Now he assures all concerned that the will Is to atund absolutely. That Is satisfactory to every one con cerned and should end the matter. It certainly has served to dispose of it as far as Mr. Astor. the executors and trustees are concerned." The will, it is now believed, will be offered for pYobate within a day or two. The trustees and executors, meanwhile, will not dlscuBs their work, or its progress. But they have accepted the assurances of Mr. Ledyard as to the strict validity of the will, and are pav ing the way for the rapid distribution of the vast property which must be done within such a brief time Detailed inventories and other mat ters of that sort probably will not be undertaken before the instrument is probated. Widow Recovering Her Health. The young widow is rapidly regain ing her strength. She enjoys automo biling, and probably will be driven out Fifth avenue and through Central Park each warm afternoon. Naturally she is keeping very much In seclusion, but she has been seen by a few of the most Intimate friends of her girlhood. It is not likely that the former wives of Colonel Astor will meet before Mrs. John Astor sails for her English home. If at all. When Mrs. John Astor re turns In midsummer, the widow will be busy with the responsibilities of motherhood. IS DUFF-GORDONS STOPPED SAV ING OF TITAXIO VICTIMS.

In which the witness had said "passengers protested against the boat going back." Henry E. Duke, M.
