Hi, Susie.
Well, I think I would intervene and stop your new baby from stealing every toy.
I would encourage your 1 year old girl to remain in the room with you, and show her that the new baby isn't allowed to take all the toys.
My older girl was almost 3 when we got our 2nd baby, and she didn't hide from her, but she did allow her to have whatever toys she wanted.
But our new baby didn't attack her. I would suggest telling the new baby, "No" when she attacks. She's a baby and needs to learn what is acceptable.
When you give treats, make sure you give your 1 year old, her treat, 1st.
I think it will improve, it just takes time.
Good Luck!
And Congratulations!
