VISITED BY JACOB SCHIFF

Flying Trip of New York Banker to
Arden Interpreted to Mean That
Railroad Wizard Is Able to Attend
to Business or Else Wishes to Clean
Up Important Matters as Soon as
Possible.
Arden, N. Y, Aug. 8 Either Ed
ward H. Hartman is not too ill to
discuss business or wishes to clean up
certain important financial matters as
soon as possible.
These are the two divergent views
OF a flying visit made to the financier
In his mountain fastness by Jacob H.
schiff, the New York banker.
The Importance attached to Mr..
Schiff's visit was shown by the fact
that through express train was
stopped at the Arden station to per-
nit the banker to alight. Mr.. Schiff,
who remained only. short time in
the house, declined to discuss the
purpose of his visit or to comment in
any way upon Mr.. Hartman and his
interests.
The circle about Mr.. Hartman has
been drawn closer than ever. Will:
lam Mcclellan, the superintendent of
the Hartman dairies, drove to the
postoffice and general store and gave
orders that no newspaper men or
strangers should be allowed to use
the telephone. This order, it was
found, applied to the whole line The
telephones in Arden and Turner are
all on this line, which is a private
one under Mr. McClellan's supervision.
The reason given was that outside
calls were keeping the line so busy
that 1t was difficult for subscribers to
get proper service.
Repeated denials by members of
the household and the absence of fur
Their confirmation strengthened the
belief that there was at least no i'm
mediate intention of operating on the
financier.
