Gillett arrived by steamer from Eureka
late this afternoon and went to the Fair
mont hotel where he expected to meet
some. Of the San Francisco bankers to-
night. Owing to the lateness of his COM
ing, however. the bankers did not know
of his presence here and the only finan-
cier to call upon him was George w. Pei
tier of Sacramento. who Is the president
of the California Bankers association,
The governor said he would hold con-
ference with the leading local bankers to-
morrow to discuss the financial situation
and to determine upon the need for fur
ther legal holidays.
II will remain in San Francisco as long
as my, presence is required here, and I
will continue to declare legal holidays
while there is urgent necessity for doing
so. From what 1 have learned do not
consider that there is any cause for
alarm concerning the banks of California.
We have plenty of money coming to us
from the east and 1t would be here now
but for the troubles in New York.
Then there Is an abundance of coin
in the mint here and In the subtreasury.
California's troubles seem to be merely
an echo of those in the east and I under
stand that conditions there--are greatly
improved"
