TALK Of BOAS' SUCCESSOR.
Never. Lederer or SiCkel May
Head Hamburg Line Here.
AWAIT HERR BALLIN'S WORD
Possibility That Director Gen
eral Will Select Man in Ger
many Thought Unlikely.

The sudden death of Emil l.. BOas. resi-
dent director and general manager of the
Hamburg American Line. was received
with surprise and great regret yesterday
among steamship men i'm this city, and
caused much speculation as to who will
succeed him i'm the management of the
American end of the Company'S business.
While the appointment will be made by
Herr Albert BALM. director general of the
line i'm Hamburg, ii is generally believed
that his selection will be made from three
men now employed in the local office, at
No 40 Broadway They are julius T. Meyer,
assistant TO the general manager in the
passenger traffic: Emil Lederer, assistant
to the general manager in the Storage
department. and William G. Sckel, assist
ant to the general manager IN charge Of
the freight business
While Herr Balm may select a successor
from the Hamburg office. 1t is thought that
he Will most likely give consideration to the
familiarity of the three men in charge Of
the three big departments of the American
business.
julius p Meyer has been closely assoc
ciated with Mr. Boas in the management Of
the line for many years. and while the resi-
dent director was out Of the city was IN
charge of the local office. Mr.. Lederer also
has been with the line for many years, and
his department. the storage trafnc' mas
been one of the chief money makers FOR
the line
Mr.. Sickel is practically newcomer WAN
the company but within the last three
years has made rapid strides TO his place
as head of the freight department ana mas
had practically a free hand in the reorsan-
tzation Of the staff in charge of the freight
business He was brought from ChlC'eo
and put in charge of the company Atias
, service TO the West Indies. His executive
ability was soon recognized by MI. boas'
who advanced him to the place ne no" &C.
cupies Soon after taking charge he drew
from, Boston. Chicago, New Organs anu
other cities men whom he thought "ouIo
, be of advantage to mis- force. ana the SEs-
ten, and esprit de corps he built were no
ticed not only in his own ONCE ou' ="
freight circles generally.
Three representatives OF the hai'ou'
Office are now in this city, having arrlVeu
bere week ago on the kaiserln Augus'e
Victoria. They are Director JULIUS Inv
mann DIR. Albert Hopff, chief counsel lol
tho line. and Dr. Mummsen, senator u
tho free city of Hamburg. and counsei 10
the company.
Mr.. Boas had been entertaining THESE ot-
ficials when stricken with the lliieso wiz
caused his death. Director Thomahh was

charges that we're filed against Hartridgc
were dismissed by the Appellate Division
Former Judge Hasbrouck, VINO appeareu
for Hartridge, said the new charges shouih
be dismissed because Mrs. Mary {. Iha"'
mother OF Harry Thaw, had n grievance
against Hartridge on account OF the sun
he brought against her To recover S39'"o lor
services.
The Appellate Division censured RolIln
Tracy, lawyer. seventy-one years oio'
who was admitted to practice In 1853 yes
terday on the charge that he received
small amount of money for two clients
which he did not turn over to them until
action had been taken against him before
the Bar Association. The referee VINO
heard the charges recommended on a'-
count of the age and the illness OF Tracy
the court treat him with clemency' INC

the conduct of the respondent. and severe

ton County was IL court as the legal aseh'

ment was not necessary.
Justice Ingraham announced that the

portant TO decide 1t on technicality. lie
aaid that the records showed that Brandt
never pleaded guilty, but that the records
