TO HEAR HIMSELF PRAISED.
HILL RUMoR SAYS. TO LISTEN TO ENCOMI-
UMS OF HIS STATE LEADERSHIP
IN BROOKLYN

1t reported in Brooklyn yesterday that ex-
Senator David =. Hin had sent word TO WilIoupb-
by Street that he would be in town next Monday
and would call on Hugh Mclaughlin his house
in Remsen-st. The story went TO say that there
would be conference on State and local politics.
paign next year.
When Mr.. HIN is in Brooklyn. according to the
story. he will be asked to look over some reso-
buttons that have been drawn up in praise of his
leadership of the Democratic party in New York
State.
There is more than a mere rumor as authority
for the statement that if Mclaughlin attempts TO
put any Hill resolutions through the Kings County
Democratic General Committee, he will meet with
considerable opposition. There is much opposition
TO Hill in Brooklyn. and Mclaughlin may see his
leadership tottering in his old age if he insists
on tying up too closely to the ex-senator
James Shevlin denied last night that Hill was
coming TO Brooklyn, and said IL was absurd to IA Tx
OF any resolutions concerning his leadership being
presented to the county committee.

'New stock: traded on curb November :.
Chicago and Northwestern. which did not go
below 220 yesterday, touched pa on Tuesday,
an ll-point fall in three days. Its weakness is
attributed TO liquidation by interests who few
months ago had ambitions in the direction of
securing control of this great and conservative
property. Amalgamated Copper yesterday
touched a new low level So.
One OF the most interesting and widely
credited rumors of the day was that the great
bull pool in Southern Pacific had been dissolved
Two versions OF this story were current One
was that the manager of the pool in view of
the stand taken by the banks that in order to
safeguard the money market there must be a
curtailment of loans and a restriction of bank
credits, had made three calls the subscribers
TO take up their allotments; that the subscribers
unable TO carry the stock which they had thus
taken up, had liquidated their holdings, causing
the price TO decline; and that the pool manager,
in order TO his losses in Southern Pacific.
had sold the rest of the market short. Another
version was that the pool manager had sold out
his own Southern Pacific holdings last week.
this action causing the break in price 1t was
said that large amount Of the Southern Pacific
pool stock had been bought by Union Pacific in
terests and would be added to the $9O.0OO.OOO
OF Southern Pacific already owned by the Union
Pacific. the total being more than sufficient 10
give the latter a clear majority of the stock of
the Southern Pacific. II has been understood
in well informed quarters, however. that the
Union Pacific and allied interests have for some
time owned a majority OF the Southern Pacifcs
stock.
James r. Keene, who has been a prominent
member of the Southern Pacific pool, has denied
that he has sold out his holdings. Mr.. Keene.
;n an interview on Monday said as quoted:
IF I had to give advice to those who have
stocks it would be TO sit tight I have not
changed my opinion one iota from that which
have entertained for six months past and 1
am a thorough believer in present values and
future prospects"
A disturbing rumOr Of the afternoon was that
M. Morgan was ill. Asked about this report.
one OF his partners said There is no truth in
the story. Mr.. Morgan is not i'll. There have
been no matters demanding his attention which
he could not attend 10 uptown. and he has
