The question of who shal act as
counsel in the investigation of New

fusing to the minds Of serious business
men. who desire to see the investigation
proceed in a thoroughly business-like
manner.
AS matters stand now, Attorney John
W. Golf has Withdrawn from active par
ticipation in the Investigation. His
course Is the climax Of his discomfort,
apparently, at the position which Law
yer. William Sutherland has achieved

mittee. Attorney Goff declares that a
communication, which he forwarded to
Senator Lexow on Friday last, embody-
Ing conditions under which he would
conduct the legal side Of the inyestiga-
ton. still remains unanswered. This
and the fact that the Lexow Com
mittee or, Friday last retained Henry

Senators have virtually declined to ac-
cede to his proposition. The result Of
the latter action was a conference yes
