hated in the little court hou*e here to-
dav, Goal-en being the county seat of
Orange county in which is located the
inai'nlflcent Harriman estate. An in-
trentory of the estate was also submit-
ted by representatives cf the Harri-
dan family as a preliminary to levy
tag the state inheritance tax. but it
«as not made public. No one has been
found who seems to be able or willing
to g've a proper estimate of the wealth
«>f the late railroad magnate, although
ieve al cf his friends and leadint
financiers have been approached on
the sublet. No hint of It is given in
the will, which contains just 99 word^.
