trail as one of the probable changes to ue
made. The visit of Harahan west at this
time to meet Hartman at San Francisco
is regarded here as indicating that the
rumors in regard to the new job for Mr..
Calvin were well founded. Ii is under
stood that If such change is made it
will mean a transfer of Harahan to the
