Samuel Untermyer. who is now en-
gagged as counsel for the Lockwood in

fled Allan A. Ryan that he would rep
resent his interests in the situation
growing out OF the taking over of Mr..
Ryan's affairs by group of leading
Wall Street banks. Mr.. Untermyer's
acceptance was contained in a letter
sent to Mr.. Ryan early in the day and
made public at o'clock

Ryan's financial affairs would make nC
comment upon the statements in Mr.

that their action had been dictated by
Ryan's assets. A report was current
that one of the banks involved had
sought to force Mr.. Ryan to resign as
president of one Of his companies "a

on the New York Stock Exchange. Thus
making it easier to liquidate. The

The effect of the drastic decline in

on the career OF three conspicuous fig
ures In the financial world was further
revealed yesterday. In these cases
adjustments were made which involved
the passing OF stocks into strong

Samuel Untermyer, in a letter to

ment as counsel. assured his client that

cent arrangement with the institutions
which have taken charge of his assets
properly safeguarded his rights.
In some Wall Street circles the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. Untermyer as Mr..
Rysn's counsel was interpreted as pre-
saying a sweeping invest CATION of
Stock Exchange practices and banking
methods similar to the Pujo inquiry
of 1912, when Mr.. Untermyer acted as
attorney for the government in its
quest for S money trust. In 1910,
when there was a state investigation
of the Stock Exchange, Mr.. -Untermyer
strongly advocated the incorporation

Climax to Dursnt's Affairs
4 climax was reached in the affairs
Of William c. Durant, who week ago
Monday sold his nuge speculative hold
ings of General Motors common stock
10 du Pont interests through J. P.
Morgan & Co.. when his resignation
from the presidency of the largest
automotive concern in the world was
announced yesterday. After direct
crs' meeting at the executive Offices of
the corporation the selection of
Pierre S. du Pont, chairman of the
E. l. du Pont de Nemours Company,
Of Wilmington, as DR.. Durant's sue
cessor, was made public.

Durant's holdings, estimated at 3.OOO,-

vote his attention to his personal af-

Durant will remain on the board Of
directors
The retirement of Mr.. Durant as the
active head of the General Motors Cor
poratlon yesterday marked his second
exit from that post. In the reorganiza-
ton of the company in 1910 he was
ousted from the presidency by the Lee,
Hlgglnson Seligman banking group that
TOOK the lead in the reorganization and
years later Mr. Durant was put back
as the active head by the du Pont IN
terests.
The elevation Of Pierre S. du Pont,
representing tie large interests Of Z.
|. du Pont de Nemours Co. in Cen
eral Motors, to the presidency of the
corporation is the elimination Of the
steadily increasing interest he has
been taking in the corporation. The
du Pont-de Nemours group has been
identified with General Motors Cor
poratlon for several years and was in
strumental in effecting the merger
which associated the Chevrolet Motors
Company with the corporation early
in 1918.
The corporation was formed in the
summer of 1915 after involved nepo-
tiations and was incorporated in Della
ware on October 16 of that year, main

At the peak of the bull market Mr..

sip in the district, he told an inquirer
last year that he had a million dollars
tor every year he had lived in this
country, and that he had been in the
Z Cnlted states seventeen years. Mr..
Schatzkin's assets over and above all
his liabilities were estimated by a
friend of his yesterday at between

is said to be in Farrell stock, with
smaller amounts in Burns Brothers

president, and in Rockaway Rolling
