WALL STREET SHIFTING

The first open declaration OF senti-

leaders of the country was made yester-
day by Frank A. Vanderlip. president OF
the National City Bank. In favor OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Nanderlips stand oid not come as

While Mr.. Vanderlip was speaking for
himself alone. it is the general belief In
Wall Street that he voiced the opinion
Of many Of the other more prominent
men. The supposition has been ever
since the famous Gary dinner that Roose-

mercial interests. but until recently II

Hughes for the Republican nomination.
Some time ago a canvass taken among
New York stock Exchange members
showed preponderance In favor OF Root.
Since that time there has developed, no

for him based on the conviction that the
Republicans must nominate man who

In other words, Col. Roosevelts back

on.

THE SuN correspondent has excellent
ground for predicting that this effort will

statement Of his views. II his nomina-

upon such an expression by him 1t will

he is not saying whether or not he would

the Justice himself Is refrain!ng from
