Organizers Surprised at Small
Number of Nominations.

Washington. June 28.-Members of
the Reserve Bank Organization Com
mittee were surprised at the compare
lively small number of nominations
submitted for directors Of the federal
reserve banks. The member banks are
TO elect six directors for each of the
twelve banks, or seventy-two IN all,
still The entire number of nominations
submitted for dictatorship was only
76S. with more than seven thousand
banks voting.
This result showed general dispo-
sition among the banks to confer and
work tremendously in their selection
of directors. It was generally expected
that the list of nominations would have
been much larger, and it would have
created no surprise if it had reached
two thousand or more.
The largest number of nominations
was in District 3, where III names
were submitted. This district com
prises New Jersey, Delaware and a
norton of Eastern Pennsylvania.
There are 757 national banks IN the
district which have accepted the pro-
visions of the federal reserve act.
District 5, composed of the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and part OF
West Virginia, nominated only thirty
candidates, the smallest of any OF the
districts. There are AIS national banks
in this district which accepted the pro-
