That WorthinEtOn Rumor.

The further story which has been floating
around for some time that Mr.. Bucking-
ham was to become the successor of Cen
eral Manager Worthington of the Harri-
man roads on the Pacific coast is not ac-
credited in Omaha. A high Official who
requested that his name be not mentioned
said:
Il think Mr. Worthington's successor will
be named In a day or two, but think it
will not be Mr.. Buckingham. Mr.. Buck
ingham who is an excellent railroad man
and stands high in the estimation of Mr..
Hartman, is needed where he is and I
think will not be transferred soon"
"Will an Omaha man succeed Mr.. Worth
ington?" was asked.
NO" was the answer.
Mr.. Worthington resigned to go with the
Gould roads.
Mr.. Buckingham's recent trip to New
York, where, II was said, he would confer
with Mr.. Hartman, served to stimulate the
report of his succeeding Worthington.
NEW YORK, May 2G.-At the Offices of
the Hartman interests here today it was
said that the details of the plan to give
the different Hartman properties individ-
ual executive heads had not been marked
out and that the proposed changes may
not be made for some months Mr. Harri-
man. it was said, will continue in CON-
plete control through the chairmanship of
an executive board embracing all the prop
critics.
