District Attorney VIII Decide what
Thomas F. Ryan Must ANSWER.
NEW YORK. Dec. l1.--As the result
of a conference between Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Mott and Fleming and
Charles II. Hughes 1t has been decided
to present to District Attorney Jerome
the evidence in the matter Of the re-
fusal OF Thomas II. Ryan to answer
questions put to him at a recent session
OF the legislative insurance committee
regarding his conversation with Ed
ward H. Hartman when the latter
asked to be permitted to purchase a
portion OF James Hazen Hydes stock
in the Equitable Life Assurance soci.
ETY..
The conference between the prosecut-
ing officials and Mr.. Hughes was held
at hotel, but Mr. Mott refused To give
any particulars about il. He said II
was decided TO ask Mr.. Jerome TO pass
personally on the questions Of law in
volved.
Mr. Jerome will have 30 decide
whether tina questions asked are ma
terial TO the Investigation and whether
by assumption the answers refused
would be material.
AS the committee has lodged an ac-
tual complaint with the district attor
ney, he will have 20 investigate 1t. II
is thought he will take II before the
grand jury.
From the purport OF the questions
asked by Mr.. Hughes 1t seems that
the examiner had been informed that
Mr.. Hartman had threatened Mr.. Ry
an with a legislative investigation Of
insurance interests unless Mr. Ryan
should yield to Mr. Harriman's solicita
tons and permit him to share In thu
purchase of the Hyde stock Mr.. Ryar
refused either to afirm or TO deny thai
such threats had been mnde, and MT
Cravath sustained him In his attitude.
One result of Mr.. RyAn's testimony
must inevitably be the early recall Of
Mr.. Hartman and perhaps Mr.. Odei
to the witness stand. In his ssignony
before the Armstrong committee Mr.
Hartman denied that he had made any
effort to purchase from Mr. Hyde any
portion OF his stockhoidings In the
Equitable, but he was not asked spe-
cificaliy whether he had made any effort
to obtain participation in the pur-
chase effected by Mr.. Ryan.
