TRAL-HIs FRIENDS ALSO SAY THE STORY is
FALSE.
report has been circulated that William Fl. Van
derbilt cOntemplates retiring from the management
Of the affairs Of the Hudson River and
New-York Central Railroad. 1t was asserted
that his recent large purchases Of Government bonds
from the sale of his New-York Central stock would
be followed by other sales of the stock Of that and
other roads in which he s interested ana that the
proceeds of these sales would be invested in moro
Government bonds.
reporter of The TRIBUNE saw Mr. Vanderbilt at
his residence last evening.
Is there any truth in the reports that Won will
soon retire from the management Of the Ncw-York
Central Railroad I" he was asked.
There is not o word OF truth in thcm," he re-
piled. The most unauthorized statements are put
ahoat and printed in some journals in this city and
the West, without stopping to inquire into their
truth or falsity. In this case you may say that
there is no truth whatever in these rumors."
An intimate friend of William H. Vanderbilt was
asked last night his opinion Of the rumor "Of all
that have heard and read about Mr.. Vanderbilts
plans" said he. II think this is about the most
silly. Mr.. Vanderbilt owns tonight $26 100000 Of
Central stock. That does not look much like re-
tring from connection with that road. Beside that,
it was only last week that l talking with
Mr. Vanderbilt, and in the course of the cOnversa:
ton he SAID that he intended to remain connected
with the New-York Central. Lake Shore and Mich-

about his proposed trip to Eu~De, remarked that
it wOnld give him rest. - replied that the posi-
