A. C.BEDFORD Is
LIKELY new HEAD
OF STANDARD OIL
Cousin of Bedford Brothers In
Greens Farms May Be
Elevated.

Alfred Coffin Bedford. cousin Of
e. T. and F. Fl. Bedford, who have a
summer home in Greens Farms, is
mentioned as the most likely sue
cessor Of John D. Archbold late head
OF the Standard Oil Co. of New Jer-
sey.
Alfred Coffin Bedford is a cousin of
Alfred T. Bedford, who was born in
the old Bedford homestead, the son
OF Deacon Fred T. Bedford of the
Greens Farms Congregational church.
The mantle of leadership has au-
tomatically shifted to the shoulders Of
Mr.. Bedford since the death of the
former president, and it is considered
likely that he will be named perman-
emily for the place when the directors
consider the problem. At 26 Broad
way 1t was said yesterday that no ac-
ton would be taken Immediately to
fill the vacancy. One official said it
might be month or more before the
meeting would be held.
Mr.. Bedford has held a leading
place in the councils of the Standard
OH Co. for 10 years and his rise to
power in the company has been me-
teoric. Great confidence was placed
in his ability by Mr.. Archbold and the
active management of the company's
affairs has largely been in his
hands.
Mr.. Bedford was born in Brooklyn
in 1854, and at the age Of Is started
to work for the Bergen Point Chemi-
cal Co., a Standard Oil subsidiary. He
has been with the company since and
has gradually worked his way up to
the top.
Speculation as to the extent of Mr.
Archbold's personal fortune. as we'll as
to his holdings in the parent company
and ofsprtngs Of the Standard Gil Co.,
continues rife in the financial district.
although no positive Information is
available. Estimates of the fortune
range from $4,000 900 to 500, 0O0,-
900, and there are current reports that
the will. to be filed soon, contains
many large requests to institutions, as
we'll as personal friends.
Michael Van Beuren, a son-in-law,
said that any information about when
the will would be filed would have to
come from 26 Broadway. There it
was said that no information could be
given out at this time about the
will.
