into the hall and found thai smoke

Leslie NJ. Shaw
is EXPECTED TO GET BACK INTO
THE NATIONAL POLITICAL
GAME.

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Politicians
and dnanciers are almost equally in
terested in the news OF former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw's
retirement from the presidency OF the
Carnegie Trust Company.
1t is interesting gossip to the tinan'
clers; to the politicians it may mean
something more serious. If Shaw is
going back into the political field, they
are inquiring. doesn't 1t mean trouble
for somebody?
Neither Shaw nor Charles C. Dick
inson, founder and chief stakeholder
in the company. will admit the former
resigned as a result Of differences
with Dickinson concerning the con-
Germs policies.
Dickinson sticks to 1t that he only
relieved Shaw from the executive COM
mtttee craftsmanship to give him more
time for politics; Shaw confined him
self to saying that he had had small
differences" with Dickinson and may
go into politics aagin.
He wouldn't tell whether he intends
to stay here or go back west to stir
up the politicians and had nothing to
say concerning the rumors that he
is slated for the presidency OF another
big New York financial institution.
