DILL MAY INVESTIGATE.
Talk of 4nother Shipbuilding In
Quiry-Awest RumOr, Too.

The testimony given by Lewis Nixon at the
United States Shipbuilding hearing Tues
day was discussed with interest in Wall Street
Yesterday but nobody inclined to express
for publication his views TO the significance
to be attached to Mr.. Nixon's statements and
disclosures. A published report that criminal
proceedings were in contemplation, and that at
least one arrest would soon be made in the
Shipbuilding matter could not be confirmed in
any responsible quarter.
The following statement put out late yes
terday afternoon:
There was talk in Wall Street yesterday of a
second investigation into the affairs of the
United States Shipbuilding Company, to be con-
Quoted by James B. Dill. Mr. Dill, ii was said
would represent the Trust Company of the Re
public and d. Leroy Dresser, with others, in
the matter. There have been reports that Mr..
Dill has been acting an intermediary in con-
ferences that have been holding between MEM
bers of the Bondholders Protective Committee
and btwen tn Schwab-Pam side. Some strained
feeling has developed between the representa-
tvs of the bondhOlders and Mr.. Dill over the
latter's interest in tn affair. TIL bOndholders'
representatives appear TO believe that at
tempt is being made to sidetrack them and
their Investigation for some reason. James B.
Dill is prominent as the legal organizer OF large
corporations.
1t could not be learned who stood sponsor for
this statement, which. however, in part seemed
TO represent possibly the views OF Samuel IN
termyer counsel for the Bondholders' Protective
Committee. An effort last night to ask Mr.. IN
termyer, who was at his home, Graystone Yon-
kers, about the matter was unavailing.
