KveiMhlng w.-nt well for a time The
Co ml M-vtii'.d to have iibtalne.l vvllh
his wife some of her family's financial

Count and his associates failed to see

they sold theni ton private firm. Count '
I Szectienyl and his fi lends then secured!
an option on them on the strength of u
I report made by llelglnn engineers that j
I the property at n conservative estimate
was worth $100,000 000. I
The Count tried to Interest local
financiers of itiidapest, but they, know
I Ing the report of the railway com

I Count, lelylng on the report of the
llelglnn. Is said to have Interested
.among others the big firm of Defav

$,000,000, The Count nnd his friends
Invested ii similar amount and from

concluded that he had been swindled.
At the time of the marriage of Count
NY.echon.vl lo Gladys Vanilorhllt It was
aald thai she brought him Ili00,000
but that this fortune was so vunrdoil
that the Count could not touch It.
Hv the will of Cornelius Vandorbllt
Miss Gladys received tho Income nf

and tho will clearly specified that only
the Income could bo touched, This was

permitted lo accumulate since that date,
It would represent lo-iUy nl the rale of

ooo, Kven If the Countess had placed
her purse nf her husband's disposal, It
seems therefore Improbable that he
could have lost l.ooo.floo nf her money.
(in Hie other hand, It has been said
Ihat the Count's fortune, which never
was gtcit, was invested In securities
which have greatly decreased In valua
since the beginning of the Balkan war.
