New York, Nov. 16.-In New Yorl
financial circles the view was freely ex.
pressed today that the action OF Cover

similar movement extending to other
sections of the country and in the en-
actment Of Legislation which will place
state banks on basis and under super
vision more closely akin to that OF the
national banks. A. B. Hepburn, presi-
dent OF the Chase National bank, and
ex-controller OF the currency, who, it is
generally conceded, will be chairman

advocate OF the national banking sys-
tenn. 1t Is believed that Mr.. Hepburn
will personally recommend to his asso-
ciates that the state law should be
made to conform az nearly as possible
to the Federal statutes.
The report OF the commission is
