FARRELL WILL NOT
RESIGN POSITION
Telegram Story of CONNER
cial Club Secretaryship
Branded as Fake.
WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Sixteen Members of Board of
Governors Disclaim Any
knowledge of Rumor.

The story published in the Evening
Telegram Of Yesterday to the effect
that Will G.. Farrell, secretary of the
Salt Lake Commercial club, would
probably submit his resignation to the
board of governors of the club In a
short time and that President W. i.
Jensen Of tho Commercial club had
been directed by tho board of govern"
ors to offer the position to George S'
McAllister, is denied by Mr.. Farrell,
President Jensen and every member OF
The board of governors Of the club who
is now in the city.
The story suggested that Mr.. Farrell
was finding the dual duties OF secre-
tarv of the Commercial club and gem
eral agent for a large life insurance nc.
company more than he could comfort"
ably handle and for that reason was re-
signing from the position as secretary
of the club. In denying the report tho
officers and members of the board OF
governors of the club expressed sur
prise that a report such as this, with
absolutely no foundation, could have
gained currency. They were absolutely
at a loss in attempting to guess the
source OF lne stoi y"
Story Is Absurd.
With reference TO the report as pub
lished in the Evening Telegram, MIR.
Farrell said:
The story is absurd. | have DO

was being considered for secretary OF
