NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Sustained by
sheer determination and will-power, E..
H. Hartman, after a trying ordeal
accompanying his arrival from Europe.
is today beginning the after-cure, for
which he returned to his home in Ar
den, after a rigorous treatment at Bad
Gastein.
Il am back for rest, the work." the
great f1nancier declared.
The return of MI. Hartman was
marked by a break In the market this
morning. Whether because of alarm
and a general belief that his condition
is much worse than reported, or be-
cause of disappointment at the failure
to increase dividends, the market
opened lower, and became weak. the
Hartman Pacifics showing the greatest
loss. Union Pacific sold at one time
six points below last nights closing.
Further weakness developed during the
early trading.
The inability of the bulls to bring
about a rally when the heavy selling
ceased spurred the bears &c a renewed
attack.
In the early afternoon supporting
orders resulted in a slight advance and
the market became duh. The london
market was weak because of the failure
to increase dividends on Hartman
stocks. prices falling off from / to J
points.
Just before the close Union Pacific
rose further, causing the general list
to rally.
Weak, But Is PIucky
His weakness, resulting from Ill
health and rigid diet while abroad, was
accumulated on his arrival by an attack
of use yesterday while coming up
the harbor, and it apparently required
considerable exercise of nervous force
on Mr.. Harriman's part to carry him
through the transfers from the liner TO
the train which bore him to his new
home and to face and answer the ques-
tons of many newspaper men who met
him at the dock.
Although Mr.. Hartman seemed ply
siCally weak he was as vigorous men.
tally as ever. He displayed a deter
mination to put the best possible face
upon his condition, asserted that he was
feeling better, n outlined plans for
the further development Of the rail-
road properties under his control.
Although Mr.. Hartman talked about
his railroad plans with manifest inter-
est, he declined TO discuss the reported
plan for h segregation of the assets
of the Union Pacific railroad, which has
been reported as being in prospect.
] h only thing that concerns me- he
said, lis the development and improve
ment of the lines under our charge. and
that we may take advantage Of these
prosperous times TO complete these de-
~velopments."
On arriving at his new home on the
mountain top in Arden. Mr.. Hartman
repeatedly expressed his delight at the
progress which had been made during
his absence in completing the house
and grading the grounds, and declared
his pleasure in getting home again.
THE German food may be all right
and the champagne baths may be all
right, but the rest cure right here will
be the only cure for me-" he declared.
He walked without assistance from
his car to his automobile at the Arden
station. Arriving at the house. he as
sisted Mrs. Hartman from the car and
walked a distance of two city blocks to
the entrance. Without assistance, but
aiding himself by holding to the railing.
Mr.. Hartman climbed a flight of steps
leading to the terrace garden and en-
tered the house from the terrace.
Mr.. Hartman is nothing less tina a
power-house shut down for repairs.
What he will say or do under a given
set of conditions is just what any other
man would not do under like condl-
tions. Another would have made
short shrift of the interest of a public
presented in a continued and persistent
battery Of photographers from the mo-
ment of the arrival of the Kaiser Will
helm II. in the lower bay Until his re-
tirement into his Orange county eagles
nest when darkness had finally fallen.
Not so Hartman.
Gives Reporters ga Chance,
Come. we must give these boxs q
chance to earn their living and let
them do a good days work" he re-
marked TO members of his family
grouped about him on the deck of the
tug Ell Toro as the Erie pier was
reached.
Brushing aside the restraining arm
of his physician, DIR. WIZ G. Lyle,
and stumbling over an outSAN4tched foot
from the rugged frame of ex-Judge
Robert S. Lovett. his chief counsel, Mr..
Hartman pushed his way TO the all.
