A determined battle to prevent the marriage of Mathilde McCormmick. prospective heir to millions, and Max 0er. Swiss riding master, was begun in court Wednesday by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick. the 17-year-old girl's mother and divorced wife of Harold F he international lionaire head of the Harvester company. Asking a restraining order from probate court to prevent thA marriage, Mrs. McCormick declared that because of her tender age" Miss Mathilde might "become the subject of machinations and intrigues of designing persons " She added that Oser, being a poor man. desired the marriage "primarily" because he believed "in so doing he nil! secure large sums of money and financial jtaln." The motion was made In Mrs. McCormick's answer to the application of her daughter for appointment of Mr. McCormick as her legal guardian. Under Swiss law consent of the guardian or both parents of a minor Is necessary for marriage. Continue Hearing. Judge Henry L. Horner, however, declined t3 grant even a temporary restraining order but continued the hearing of the motion until June 3. meanwhile ordering that letters of guardianship Vie drawn up for Harold V. McCormick under bonds of $20,000. Mr. McCormick' counsel, Edwin H. Cassell. agreed, however, that the guardian's consent to his ward s marriage would not be given ; before the hearing. j Charles F. Cutting, attorney forj i Mrs. McCormick, indicated he would nee every legal means to block coni sent to trie international marriage b' which the granddaughter of John I). Rockefeller would become the bride of the former cavalry officer, who Avas her riding master for jnany years during her residence in Switzerland. "Of cou-se there is a great deal of evidence that cannot be presented at the hearing June 3." he told Judpe Horner. "Much of It is not i in Chicago. We can only set up what we have learned and if the court deciles it is serious enough to warrant, the evidence can be presented later." Mrs. McCormick'? answer stated that Mr. McCormick was a "suitable and proper person" to act as guardian "except so far as he may consent to mirriage of the petitioner with Oser." Relieving- his appointment would lead immediately to such consent, Mrs. McCo-mickxdeclined to consent to the appointment and a.sked that the guardian be restrained from giving coru-ent to marriage until further order of the court.
