Prediction Is Made that Nom

Some Time.
INQUIRY MAY BE ASKED
Resolution Calling for Investigation
of Munsey Trust Company Case
Likely to Be Offered.
NAY BE ASKED

President Wilson sent to the Senate yes
terday the nomination of John Skeiton
Williams of Virginia. as Comptroller of
the Currency. Mr.. Williams has been
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. in
charge OF fiscal affairs. under the present
administration. As. Comptroller OF the
Currency he will be ex-officio a member
Of the Federal Reserve Board, along with
the Secretary of the Treasury. The nom
ination Of Mr.. Williams created no sur
prise.
President Wilson. II Is said. was ad-
vised before he went South that there
was considerable opposition to the sp-
pointment of Mr.. Williams on both
sides of the Senate. and that he would
have difiiculty In having the 'nomina-
tion confirmed. Just before the holi-
day recess Senators who usually rep
resent the administration view in the
Senate were acting seeking to sllsy the
threatened opposition. Monday these
activities were resumed. Senator Swan
son. OF Virginia, and Senator James, of
Kentucky, exerted their utmost per-
suasive powers to try to remove oppo-
sition. But the indications yesterday
were that the nomination would be
held up for some time.
May Call for Inquiry.
One Of the most prominent Republican
Senators stated that he probably would
introduce resolution to investigate the
action Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
In connection with the absorption by the
Munsey Irust Company Of the United
States Trust Company in Washington a
few weeks ago -.e explained that the
reasons that existed for withholding the
resolution at the time there was SO much
discussion in the newspapers and about
the Capitol in regard to the affair no
longer exists
1t cannot be charged now that such
resolution was meant to embarrass
the Passage Of the currency bill. as was
iatimated at the time its introduction
was being considered. Nor can IL be sais.
row, as was said at the time the in
vestigation was proposed. that IL nigh;
increase unrest in local financial circles
and start run on local banking inst
tutions. At the time the introduction ~
such a resolution was being considere,i.
several Senators expressed the fear thai
to start an investigation into the Mu,l-
sey Trust Company deal would be t.
increase alarm among depositors anG
start a general run ON financial inst
tutions- Some of these Senators said a.
the time that after Congress reas-
sembled, following the holiday recess.
such an investigation might be timely.
The charge in thai case was that
Assistant Secretary Williams placed
81. .0o0.Oo0 of public funds at the disposal
of the Munsey Trust Company. Of which
his brother. r. Lancaster Williams. is a
to assist that institution and
meet a possible run following the an
that il had taken over the
