Democrats turn out and rally to the
mayors support he will be beaten.
You can't make II any too strong. The
mayor is In very grave danger"
Mayor Thompson was with Connol-

ed to be greatly worried. Both he
and Judge Connolly were obliged to
leave at once to accompany Bryan to

NO EXCHANGE INQUIRY.
Morse Not 4menabIe to Discipline OF
GOTerning Committee.

Members OF the Stock Exchange governing Colh-
rnittee were unwilling yesterday to discuss the re-
ports that an investigation by that body might Io-
low the disclosures at the Morse trial on Iuesoay
Of the wholesale practice of employing matcheu
orders in the manipulation OF American Ice Sc
curities stock between June 1905 and October. 1907
but the best opinion obtainabe was that no formal
inoui-y was likely to be instituted. The evidence
tended to show that the manipulation was con-
troIled throughout by Mr.. Morse, who ran two
pools" in the operation of which he employed
hfty-nine Stock Exchange houses in all most OF
them we'll known.
Mr. Morse it YVES pointed out yesterday. Is not a
member of the exchange. and thus is not amenaole
TO discipline by the governing body of that inst'u
ton and the matching Of orders, although rec
ognized abuse does necessarily bring under the
ban of the exchange brokerage houses figuring III
the operation which consists in the principal IN
structing broker to buy given NUMBER OF
shares at the market and another TO sell the same
number at the market, neither broker being ad-
yised of the order given the other. The case OF
wash sales" is much different, for here the
brokers' instructions to purchase a certain
amount OF stock from a certain other broker at d
certain price.
The problem of the devisng Of measures for
putting an end to matched orders and wash
sales is believed 70 be engaging the attention u
the governing committee. for these practices have
done much TO discredit the exchange with the in
vesting public. It had been rather generally eX-
pected that the special committee which inquired
into the A o. Brown & Co. failure would report
recommendations on the subject, but that eXpecta-
ton was not realized.
