noon on reliable authority that the ap.
pointment Of Mr.. H. Rozier Dulany as
trustee Of the Waggaman estate will be
urged and voted for at the meeting OF
creditors to be held December by the
principal creditors of the bankrupt. 1t was
stated that this conclusion was arrived at
after an important conference between the
principal Waggaman creditors and the at
torneys representing the largest interests
1t is believed Mr.. Dulany's election will
be accomplished by the same influences
which gave Mr.. George Truesdell such an
overwhelming majority when he was elect
ed 20 the trusteeship
Describing Mr.. Dulany today, a prom,-
nent attorney who has large interests n
the Waggaman matter said:
He is a man of high character: thor
oush integrity. and large experience in
real estate matters. Mr.. Dulany is a real
estate broker, and stands high in this
community. If he is elected, as he un-
doubtedly will be, he will probably have
the assistance of several prominent finan-
cial institutions to back him, If necessary,
In the administration of the estate or
trust"
Willing to Serve.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Dulany. when
told of the desire of the principal creditors
that he should serve trustee, expressed
his willingness to do so. although he was
in no manner a seeker for the election,
which will carry with it long and tedious
service, 1t is believed Mr.. Dulany's down.

The matter of Mr.. Dulany's election will,
1t is stated, be considered by leading at
torneys at the meeting of Waggaman cred

closed doors, only creditors and their at
torneys being admitted, it will be in the
nature of confidential conference between
the claimants as to the best method Of ex-

The recent meeting of the trustees of
the Catholic University and the action
taken by that body, will, 1t Is believed.
also have an important bearing on the
meeting of creditors. Referee Andrew Y.
Bradley is said to favor the holding a con-
fdential meeting for the reasons stated.
Numerous Suggestions.
Since Mr.. George Truesdell positively de-
clined to serve as trustee of the Waggaman
trust, as stated in The Star yesterday.
numerous names have been mentioned as
his probable successor, but when 1t was
learned this afternoon that Mr.. H Rozier
Dulany would be urged by practically the
same forces which elected MIR. Truesdell
it was stated by an attorney that the pros
pective candidates began to disappear in
the mists.''
Justice Anderson, holding court in bank
ruptcy, has been notified officially by Ref
cree Andrew Y. Bradley of Mr.. Truesdells
declination to serve trustee and that in
cident is regarded as closed.
Two claims were filed at the office OF NJ
Bradley today. They were those of James
A. Tumelty and John Hughes. aggregatng
$475O for rent collected by Waggaman and
not turned over to them.
1t is stated that no petition having beef
led by any Of the creditors who noted eX-
ceptions to Mr.. Bradley's ruling at the .ast
meeting of the creditors. nothing has yet
been done looking to the certification to
the court of the referees opinion fixing
the status of list No. L. creditors at the
election. Such a petition will probably be
filed in time to have the court hear and de-
termine the legal questions involved before
the election is held.
