discussed. today, but no definite IN
formation was obtained.
Former Justice Morgan j. o Brien,
one Of the Equitable trustees, declared
that the present system whereby the
stockholders and policy holders Joined
ia the election of directors was not de-
sirable as the responsibility of con-
trol could not now be mXed either on
the stockholders CT the policy holders.

the company would be to its interest"
said BFien.
William H. H0tchkiss. state superin-

the subject Of naturalization OF the

Suggestion of definite character was
made in. banking quarters that the TAX
ing over Of the Equitable society by
Mr. Morgan, would ultimately mean the
combination Of the Equitable Trust
company and the Mercantile Trust
company, now controlled by the Equit-
able society and one or perhaps two
trust companies controlled by Mr.. Nor
gan. This combination OF trust COM
panies would control assets OF nearly
