Reorganization interests Of Knleker.
booker Trust Company Offered Po-

New York. Jan. 16.-It became known
that the interests identified with the
reorganization OF the Knickerbocker
Trust company had considered the
name OF Secretary Cortelyou, among
others. to take the presidency OF that
Institution and that an lntimation
more or less positive In character had
been conveyed to the secretary within
the past few days of the consideration
OF his name. One of the leading rep
resentatives OF the REORGANIZATION in
terests in the trust company was au-
thority for the statement that the fntf-
nation had assumed quite a definite
character. taking the form OF a tender

was stated by this same authority that
no response had been received but that
Il was expected Mr.. Cortelyou would
arrive at decision at an early date
This statement was before Secretary
Cortelyou had given out an authorita.
tive announcement of his intention
not to resign from the cabinet. In
view OF the latter announcement II
was assumed that any tender or inti-
nation OF his coming to New York as
president OF this company has been
definitely rejected.
So seemingly authoritative were the
reports that circulated in the street
that Mr.. Cortelyou would resign TO en-
ter the Knickerbocker Trust that they
persisted even after his denial was sent
from Washington. a close friend OF
the secretary who Is in position To
know his intentions. said:
Mr.. Cortelyou may or may not have
been offered a position with New
York financial concern. or that I am
not prepared to speak but | can say
most emphatically that he is not going
TO accept any offer of any kind. He Is
going TO stay right where he is as sec
retary OF the treasury until the end OF

entertained any proposition involving
