| ing interview with Charles II. Sabin
shows:
lis It true, Mr.. Sabin, that you

: Eyes, I bought one share. I did not
know anything about 1t. but a man
named Hall asked me 10 subscribe"

mo. He said Willard Straight was
a stockholder. 1 called him up and
he said he owned several shares, so
/ gave 'em my check for $780,"
"Have you received the magaxine7"
"Well. 1 don't believe l have ever
received copy"
Mr.. Straight said Hall approached
him with a hard luck" story and a
lot Of polo talk and he brought two
shares of the stock but had never
recommended 1t to any one.
At the offices of the company a tall,
dark, extremely well dressed man of
youngish appearance and cultivated
manners replied to a question as to
Mr.. Halls whereabouts He's out. He
may be in in five minutes, two hours
or not before tomorrow"

and holding out his hand. II you are

were one of the persons l didn't care
to see."
HALL SAYS HE'S A HARVARD
MAN, OLD Boy"
In reply to questions Mr.. Hail, Who
has an extremely winning personality,
and says he Is a Harvard man, ole
boy" and speaks with a decided
Southern accent, said that while Polo
and Clubman was seeing hard times
1t had never suspended publication
He added that Henry T.. Wadsworth
OF No. $50 Nassau Street was the
secretary of the corporation; that a
meeting of its stockholders and dlrec-
tors had been held late in 1914, an
other would soon be held, also that
Charles MacNay. i'll and absent tenn
porarily, was editor OF the magazine
and would return soon.
Before calling on Mr.. Hall again
tho reporter went 10 see Mr.. Wads-
worth on tho fourteenth floor of No
1b0 Nassau Street.
Here Is what he said about Polo
and Clubman:
II used to be Treasurer of that
company because Hall, who la a
pleasant chap, asked me TO be. All
I know about II Is that he brought
me down a big bunch of stock GER
tificates, which ! signed inDblank
