withdraw his nomination, but Acting
Chairman Hitchcock of the Banking
Committee telegraphed an invitation
for him to appear and submit to the
committees questions. It was sug-
gested, however, that Mr.. Warburg
probably would decline the invitation
and that this would be followed by

Of seven members. The five will con-
stitute a quorum to do practically all
preliminary business.
Mr.. Jones was before the commit
tee for nearly four hours to tell about
his relations with the International
Harvester Company and the New Jer-
sey Zinc Company, both so-called
trusts. He was questioned at length
by the members. No proposal was
made to vote on a report to the Sem

garded as probable that If approval
is given 1t will, be by a close vote.
