Plan Merger
Of n. Y. Trust
With Liberty
A Announcement of Success
full Conclusion of Nego-
tiations Expected Soon;
Committee to Fix Basis
s'Street'' Much Interested
Principal Stockholders of
Both Banks Approve; Re-
sources S25O,OOO,OOO

Plans for the consolidation of the
Liberty National Bank and the New
York Trust Company into one great in
stitution bearing the name of the lat
ter and having aggregate resources of
approximately 250,000,000, have
reached a stage where an early con-
summation of the transaction is ex-
pected.
Formal announcement that negotia-
tons looking to a merger of the two
banks aroused widespread interest in
financial circles yesterday and came as
a surprise. The Liberty National is
known in Wall Street as Morgan"
bank. The New York Trust Company,
although one of the oldest institutions
in the downtown district. has not been
associated with any special banking
group. Completion of the merger will
mean the passing of the Liberty Ma
tional name.
A committee consisting of William
H. Porter, Thomas Cochran and Grayson
NJ. ?: Murphy, representing the Lib
erty National. and Dean Sage, Darwin
p Kingsley and F. N. Hoffstot, of the
New York Trust Company, has been
designated to make an examination Of
the assets of the institutions to de-
termine the basis for exchange of
stock. The committee will complete its
task within the next week or ten DAYS
and will submit it's findings to the
boards Of directors of the respective
institutions for their formal approval.
Plan for Officers
According to present plans Mortimer
n. Buckner, now president of the New
York Trust Company, will be made
chairman of the board of the new
bank and Harvey D. Gibson, president
|; of the Liberty National, will be made
president. Otto G. Barnard, at pres
tent chairman Of the board of the New
York Trust, is slated to become chair
man of a new advisory board that is to
be created.
formal statement issued in con-
nection with the merger said: "Morti-
mer N. Buckner president Of the New
York Trust Company, and Harvey
D. Gibson, president of the Lib
erty National Bank, authorize the
statement that negotiations are pend
ing looking to q possible merger of the
two institutions. AS these negotiations
are only in their preliminary stage it is
not possible to make any statement re-
garding details at this time other than
to say that a number of the principal
stockholders of both institutions have
expressed general approval of such
proposal, and that the boards of
directors of the two institutions have
appointed committees to conduct the
negotiations"
Bankers interested directly in the
projected merger said yesterday that

Bile mergers. Early this year it was
