the opportunity OF going into the great
banking firm OF which his father is a
member with the chance of eventually
becoming a member of the firm, but,
he said, II would much rather go into
politics and have a career like that than
become one of the firm l want nothing
better than go to Albany for several
years as q groundwork to what hope
will be a political career. The diplo-
matte or administrative end Of public
life has never appealed to me. ! want
to get right next to the people who are
doing things"
He got his start with a splendid ma
jority on New. 8. but, in spite OF his
very evident satisfaction, yesterday he
could not be persuaded TO add to his pre-
election statement.
II have come to the conclusion that
I had better not talk about what hope
to accomplish until l have had some
experience" he said. II am going to
so slowly So, If you will excuse me,
will postpone this interview until re-
turn from a session at Albany"
