correspondent TO the effect that the dtreo.
tors Of the Newark Bank contemplated the

part OF the bank officials. The intorma-

based came directly from the directors Of
the institution, who have been discussing the
PROTEST In their meetings Tor over year
therefore the Ledger denial Is altogether
sbortive and untrue.
