SCHIFF DECLARES
HARTMAN Is WELL

his health has been made the basis Of
stock speculation. You see, II he should
cause the issuance OF bulletins II would
lay him open to the charge of bulling or
bearing the market In consequence he
has decided not to give out any state
ments And when Mr.. Hartman has
made up his mind there's not much
chance of swinging him, you know.
Choice of Successor.
There's been lot Of talk about the
choice Of Mr. Harriman's successor
There has been no preparations toward
choosing a successor. Mr.. Hartman has
a perfectly organized machine. and each
man under him is a cog. and strong
cog. Judge Lovett Is not being especially
trained. He is occupying the same POSI-
ton that he has occupied for years past.
AT least, that is the way things look 10
me now. The judge is spending a good
deal Of his time now with Mr.. Hartman.
but I take that TO be on account of the
great activity In Wall street
Some close observers have suggested
that young Averill Hartman is being
trained as his fathers successor. / don't
believe IL. Mr.. Hartman didn't suggest
that Ayerill 80 into raiIroading; he did
that Of his own accord, because ne
thought he would like It."
It was learned to-day that the special
train which left Jersey City yesterday
for Arden was not stopped at the Arden
station. or at the Hartman private sta
ton. Instead. IL went up the Newburgh
branch Of the Erie Railroad TO a cross
road at Central Valley. where 1t was
met By a Hartman automobile Three
or four men were taken from there by
a circuitous route 10 the foot OF the in
clined road and thence up Tower Hill.
IL is said one Of the men who arrived
on tho special train was Dr. g. W. Grille.
and that a consultation took place among
the doctors. at which Hartman was
present and that he was given a thor
ough physical examination. II Is con-
fidently believed the physicians and sur
geons declared that Mr. Hartman was
found too weak to submit 10 an opera
ton.
II is said they declared the operation
was necessary. but most OF them. In
Guiding Dr. Grille. advised that II be
postponed to allow Mr.. Hartman time
10 try 10 build up his strenth for the
ordeal. II is also declared Hartman
refused to submit 10 an operation unless
he was given more time TO prepare him
