e Ne HaA.


Circular letters were sent out yester-
Aay by John P. Murray Of Coudert Bros.
and Ralph Wolf of Hays, Hershfeld 4
Wolf to the stegel depositors informing
them that the OFFER made by the DEPOSIT
tors Realization Corporation to pay 81
per cent. in cash and 67h per cent. IN
notes was favorable to them and the best
that could be expected.
The offer by the Depositors Realisation
Corporation states that 30 per cent. IN
cash and 70 per cent In notes Will be
paid if Simpson Crawford Company and
the Fourteenth Street Store are not re-
organised, while II they are reorganized
seq per cent In cash and SIN per cent
In notes will be paid.
After a careful examination Of the sit
uation Mr.. Murray. who represents about
500 depositors. informed his clients tina,
II they want to resort to litigation and
liquidation they cannot hope to get more
than 20 cents on the dollar. Mr.. Wolf
who represents about $500 depositors
places the amount at IS cents on the dol
lar. The worst result that can be ex-
pected according to Mr.. Murray and Mr.
Wolf. IL probably less than cents on the
dollar.
II was said yesterday that John b.
stanchfield, of counsel for Siegel and
vosel. would ask Judge Hand to vacate
his order issued yesterday that Siegel and
vogel must appear before United states
Commissioner Gilchrist. on the grounds
that an examination would only tend to
complicate matters.
The lawyers representing the several
groups OF creditors will meet this morn
ing. Commissioner Gilchrist has set no
date for the hearing AS yet. Jonah J,
Goldsteln OF the University settlement
said he had expended $4,000 In caring for
depositors who were left penniiess fol-
lowing the banks failure. He had forty
