Final Appeal For Warburs.

Washington. July 24-President Will
son has decided to make one more ef-
fort to smooth out the differences be-
tween the senate and Paul NJ. War
burg, his nominee for the federal re-
serve board, and if he finds such i'm
possible he will withdraw his nomina
ton as he did that of Thomas B. Jones
of Chicago, yesterday. He had been
informed by senate leaders that Mr.
Warburg's nomination can be confirm
ed if he will appear before the bank
ing committee.
The president is concerned about Mr.
Warburg, because, if his name is with
drawn, only one banker will remain
on the board. while the law requires
two.
A successor to Mr.. Jones, it was un-
derstood today, will be chosen from the
Chicago district, and probably will be
republican. Senator Lewis. of Illi-
nois. is supporting William T. Fenton
of Chicago. George E. Roberts. direc-
tor of the mint also is being supported
