JOHN ). CLAIMS
 STEWART IS OUT
Believes He Holds Proxies
 Enough for Victory

New York, Jan. 29 CP-Victory in his battle 10 oust Col. Robert w. Stewart as chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana was claimed for John D. Rockefeller. Jr. today.
 Thomas NJ. Debevoise. manager of the Rockefeller campaign for proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of the campaign March ', said he be- lieved the Rockefeller group now has enough votes to swing the elec- ton.
 It is estimated that approximately 90 per cent of the total stock will be represented at the meeting and that control means the holding of moro than 45 per cent of the proxies. There are ?.232.O .O0O shares of stock held by 5S.000 stockholders.
 "Now we are trying to obtain a majority not only of the voting stock, but of the stockholders of the company" Debevoise said.
 The fight by Stewart to retain his position in the company in defiance of Rockefeller which resolved itself into intensive drive on both sides for proxies has attracted widespread at tention.
 The contest had it's original in the refusal of Stewart to resign at the request of Rockefeller after the chairman had appeared before the senate committee investigating the Teapot Dome oil leases. Testimony of Stewart concerning his relations with the Continental Trading Corp. displeased Rockefeller and the re- quest for his resignation followed.
 George K. Bowden. who has been handling Stewards proxy campaign in New York. said he did not believe the Rockefeller group had enough proxies to control the election.
 Although the Rockefeller group holds some enormous blocks it would be necessary for them to get the enormous amount of stock now with brokers to obtairf the necessary 45 per cent. This would be impossi- ble before March 5, the date of rec- ord" Bowden said.
 The chief source of the Rockcfel- Ter strength is believed to lie in the stock held by large estates. trust funds and similar holdings. while Stewart has claimed the support of the board of directors of the Indiana company and the stock held by en- ployes of the company.

LIONS MAY HAVE
 fROLIC IN 1929
Division Of Opinion Causes Post.
 ponement Of Decision

The Lions club will hold it's an- April, if the desire of the members as expressed at todayf meeting is carried out. Details and method of operating are still to be decided. all though three separate motions were made today destined to settle this question.
 The matter was brought up by Secretary James F. O'Brien. who re- ported that he has been in confer- ence with officials of the American Legion with a view 10 putting on d joint frolic by the two organizations. A motion that this be done was made and passed. Later so many objec- tions 10 going outside of the Lions club after the club has successfully conducted it's frolic for three years were made, that President George A. auigiey called for another vote. The second vote was almost unanimously in favor of making the 1929 frolic q straight Lions club affair.
 A motion that a committee be ap- pointed to consider the advisability of the Lions club putting on a frol;c was up for consideration, when an amendment. that the Lions club committee confer with the Ameri- can Legion before making its re- port, was offered. President Quig- Icy at this point ruled that the issue was becoming confused and laid the whole action on the table for further ,1tI I inc
 The meeting was an All Lions af- fair with no outside speakers. Rcv. R. N. Gilman, chairman Of the fel- Iowship committee presided. In or der to provoke discussion of club problems, Rev. Mir. Gilman and Sec retary O'Brien ofefred some fake letters containing excuses for non- attendance. These letters were of- fered the club for general discussion. Although the meeting ran HIf hour overtime, the discussion was not completed and will be continued at 8 later meeting.
 Each man present was called upon to give his boyhood nickname. One or two men confessed with a sense of loss that they never had a nick- name when they were small boys. Other names were typical of the mind of the boy and ranged all the way from "Mickie" 10 "Seaweed."
 Rev. MT. Gilman called the roll of membership. During the calling of the roll it became apparent in . striking manner that the club has not followed the usual civic club custom of dropping inactive mem- bcrs and many names were called of men who have not attended meetings for a long time. Of the original IS charter members only eight were present, their places be- ing taken by younger members.
 F. w. Macomber was awarded . prize for a perfect attendance since last September. Music was furnish ed by the Clef Male quartette and by Rudolph Lund.

CURB LIST WEAK
 WITH FEW GAINS
Continued Liquidation Puts Udh.
 ties Under Pressure

New York. Jan. 29 R-Pro- nounced weakness was shown by numerous issues on the curb market today under continued liquidation influenced apparently by the ir- regularity of the stock market and a belief that yesterdays wide ad- vances impaired the technical posi- tion. Buying was selective. but only a few issues made advances.
 Utilities bore the brunt of selling pressure. Although there were inter- mittent rallies in this group. the trend was downward. Electric Bond & Share huctuated between 243 and 251 in carly trading and around noon was selling at 247 1-4, or more than 10 points of. Electric Inves- tors yielded [ points.

STOCKS DROP AS
 CREDIT TlGH1ENS
Recent Strong Issues Decline

New York, Jan. e9 dP1A tighten ing of credit and upward reNisions of margin requirements prompted heavy selling on the stock market today, which depressed a score o' recently strong issues about to 6 points. Heavy accumulation of utili ties continued. however. several reaching new high ground. Call money mounted above per cent for the first time in nearly two weeks as loans were called in prep aration for the month-end pay ments. The rate, increased to 2 per cent in early afternoon. was expect ed to go higher before the end of the week.
 Conflicting reports from London indicated that between 34,000, ,00o and $5,00O,o00 in gold had been taken for New York, but the opin- ion gained ground in Wall street that the Bank of England would soon act to prevent further losses, An increase in the Bank of England rediscount rate is regarded as likely this week.
 The overnight business news was i largely favora ble, including several excellent railway earnings reports the Pennsylvania reporting a record net income for 1928. Inland Steel increased its annual dividend rate from $c.50 to $3.50.
 An unsettling development was a drop of about points in U. s. Steel. Directors meet this afternoon. and Wall street has grown skepti- cal over the rumors of an extra or stock dividend, believing that such action. if contemplated, would prob- ably be taken later in the year. Philadelphia company mounted g points, while Commonwealth Power American and Foreign Power American Water Works, and De. troit Edison rose to points to new tops. Commercial Solvents jumped more than 8 points to a new top. on an excellent fourth quarter earnings report.
 Wright Aero, Allied Chemical Johns Manville and Mexican Sea. board lost to ! points, while American Telephone, General Mo tors( oldD, Westinghouse, Anacon. da. Sears Roebuck and other. yielded ? points and more.
