MEARS RETIREMENT OF PRESIDENT SLOAN IS THE CHIEF TOPIC IN NEW YORK RAILROAD CIRCLES. What tho Now York Horald Has to Say About tho Possibility of Mr. Hnllstead Succeeding Him An Eflbrt Wns Made to Intorviow President Sloan Yesterday by an Evening Post Man, But Ho Ro fusod to Make a Statement of Any Kind. The announcement In The Tribune of Alonduy of the early retirement of of Tuesdny of the early retirement of the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd West ern and the probable election of Sec ond Vice President Hallstead, ot this city, ns his successor, has caused a. great commotion In the railroad world. It Is one of the very Interesting topics discussed In Wall street, and has called forth columns of comment In the New York dallies. Tho Xevv York Herald of yestetdtx said: It beeamo known yesterday thut Mr. Halltead has for a number of weeks spent a largo part of his llmo In New Yo-k In connection with the management of the company's nffalrs. and for several duvs he has hud an olllce. here. This fait has moused not u little curiosity In Wall street, and muny railroad men have Jumped to Urn t-iiultisloii that .Mr. Hall stead was the "coming man " Whether Mr. Hallstead will really bo fleeted piisldent depends upon the will of tlm dlrcctoi, of which William K. Vnndtrbllt, Cleorgo S. Haker and J. It. Maxwell are Influential members. All ofi these men uro anxious to plate the coal trade In a I etter position, but the admin istration of President Sloan nnd Vice President IJ, H. Iloldtn, of the Lacka wanna Is said to have had something to do with keeping buslntss In an unsettled condition HOLDIJX MAY ItnTlUH. If Mr. Sk an retires It Is believed In Wall sticet that Mr. Holdcn, who has for main cars been In charge ot the Lack awunna's coal dtpartment, nnd a Xestor In the coal trade, mn also cease to have sole coutiol of the Lackawanna's coal de partment, although tho directors may wls-i him to remain In order to get the benefit ot his valuable experience. The New "lork IJvenlng Post, of last night, raid: Samuel Sloan declined to av anything today for publication ( oncerning his con templated letlretnent from tho presidency ot the Delivvare, Lackawanna and West ern Railroad company, but the announce ment uf tint fact was eonflimed today bv one ot tho diit-ctors. Mr. Sloan has ixptess-ed tho desire to bo lellevcd of tho tares uf tho ofllco tit president. TI101.0 tares haVH grown with the Increasing business of the company and he has con cluded that he has arrived at a timo of llfo (he Is more than Wl ears of age) when he ought to take a llttlo rest. Just when the change In tho presidency of the road will take place is not teitain; It may bo made nct l'ebruary and on the other hand It may not take place until nct fall. It Is dependent upon when a t.t man can be obtained to take Mr. Sloan's pi ice. When Mr Sloan retires from the presi dency ho is to bo elected to the honorat v and consequently less onerous position of chairman of the board of directors. WILL MAItlv A CHAXG1J. Grc.-t Interest Is taktn bv commuters on the Lackawanna lailroad In the re poitnl letlrement of Mr. Sloan from tho pre- ldeney of thn road, as it Is gener nll believed that his retirement will mark the beginning of a new ei.i In tho m.iiiagiment of the road. Chit f among the Improvements expected is the tunning of Sunday trains, to which Mr. Sloan Is un.ilteiably opposed, and an improved service. IN HONOR OF FATHER NASCA.
