s A NORTHGLIFFE WILL FIGHT IS LAUNCHED Control of London Times and Associated Papers Is- sue at Stake. By the Associated Prese 1ONDON, August 28.—The owner- siip of the London Times and the palicy of Lord Northclifte’s leading newspaper were questions which dajninated yesterday's newspapers. Ineidentally, it was learned that there isito be a contest over Lord North- clfffe’'s will and three caveats have been entered against its pronntal.mu > evelops that Lerd Northcliffe B e D e oo dated March 22, 1619, and another shortly before his doath, of which the sole executor Is Lady Northeliffe. The admitting bate will end cegning _its co the will to pro- speculation con- nts. There are o who believe that Lord North- cliffe took steps perpetually to domi- nate the policies of the Times by sofne sort of organization similar to the Cecil Rhodes trust or the Rocke- feller Foundation. It is generally agreed that if Lord Northcliffe’s shares In the London Times are dis- posed of in n market, there will besn seramble like that of 1908, when orth, b his strategy, barely Arthur Pearson & a suc- or to the Walter interests, which rolled the newspaper for a cen- of 1 Observer, of th Ellerman. rs 4 ) mere, Viscount Ndrtheliffe's brot who, if condi- tions permitted, would buy the Times for his mond Harmsworth. iders Sir Willlam buyer. _ Sir is also a power in Fleet street as the owner of the Sunday Times.

This will likely compel the trustees to dispose of cer- tain of his interests and, therefore, it is anticipated that control of the Times will eventually pass into other hands.

The firkt will is being put forward on the grounds that Lord Northcliffe was of unsound mind when the second will was executed. and this is the question that must be decided the eourt if the care proceeds. The News of the World asserts that the probating of the will has more than a private in- terest, for upon its declsion depends thé ownership and policy of the whole Nartheliffe press.
