About this time of the vent Ihe le

pottimt position liinkes the lotinds of
the lliiunclnl papeis.
As jet this year tin mutter lui not

cpilte iteucinlly dlscuused lu New Yoik
and will doubtlessly develop a news
paper stoiy in th" mettopolls befoto
many elajs.
When the stoiy does come It will
have (icucinl Manager and Second Vlee
PieWilent W P. Hnltslend, of this e lty,

Ml. llalNtead nnd no one else Is
being talked of foi the position, nnd
If In Is not pie'slrieiit of the Delaware,
l.ai kawauua and Western company
next Pebiituiy, the stotv goes, It will
be because be eloes not want It.
w hv si.oax m:.M ixi:n.
That Mi Sloan bus not been snip
ptanted befoie this is because of Ills
unwillingness shai ed by the dircetots
-to rcllnciuMi the place when 110 fit
ting slice es(). villi? In sight.
There wns sonic talk last jear uf W.
K, Twcmiblev. u Vundeibllt son-in-law,
Bolng Into the place us u llaure held,
the Vundiibllts to be the uctiml ese
rutlvcs This did not meet the np
pi oval of the cithei dliectors, and when
the time came Mi Sloan wu continued.
Since being ninde second lco-pio-Ident,
less than a jear ago, Mr. Hall
stead has spent much of his time In
Xew Yoik and of late has had an olllio
at So 2G, 2chatiKO Place, vvheio ho
spends at least halt of everv week
lie w.im not In elallj contact with
the people at hcadquat teis very long
befoiv be began to attract attention.
"And t little while" he began to in
vite study and ptovoke comment In the
elltec tens' 100m.
Now he Is being discussed openly
and unieseivedly as the man the com

One of them declined S.ituidny to a

pieslclent of the Delawaie, I.ackavvau
1111 and Western company He Is the
mnn thev have been looking lor at L'6
Hchange Place."
Nothing of a definite uutuie can lie
said at this time on the subject, but
putting together this nnd thnt Infoimn
tlon coming Into the possession of The
Tribune now nnd ngaln It enn be snld
with no little assurance that Sci .niton
