STEWART PLANS
FINISH FIGHT
TO KEEP CHAIR
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Jan. Colonel
Robert w. Stewart, chairman Of the
board Of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana, is preparing to wage Il
"finish fight" against the move
of John d. Rockefeller Jr., 10 bring
about the election of new head
for the Indiana company.
Following closely upon Rookie
fellcr 5 letter to stockholders asking
their support in ci"cting new d
rcct0rial chairman, the United Press
learned todar that Colonel Stewart,
several days ago, announced he was
gathering his support for reelection
at the annual meeting of stockh0ld-
crs to be held at Whiting, Ind
March !.
1t was learned on reliable author
ity that Stewart told a meeting of
division managers, 10 days ago, that
he was candidate for reelection to
the board as well as to the office of
chairman of the board.
Stewart further was quoted as
saying off Rockefeller or any of
them want to fight, m ready to
give them real finish fight. -
1t was said the meeting of 2S di-
vision managers of 10 states. in
which Standard Oil operates, had
been divided in debate over the
contest between Stewart and Rookie
feller and that Stewart had answer
ed informal questions with the state
ment that he would not resign Gun
der any circumstances.
Letter Asks Proxies
The latest effort of Rockefeller
to oust Stewart was in the form of
a letter asking that proxies for the
next meeting be given him or to Il
committee named by him and not to
the management 5 committee. The
letter said the proxies would be for
the purpose of terminating Stew
art s connection with the company.''
Rockefeller 5 statement that he
had been assured stockholders rep
rescnting a substantial amount of
the stock were opposed to Stewart s
reelection was debated on a par with
the statements of others that Stew
art still controlled the majority
which reelected him last March
However, Rockefeller, controlling
approximately l. per cent of the
9,234 900 shares outstanding, did not
vote his interests at the last meet
ing. He stated at that time, II am
not prepared to vote either for or
against Colonel Stewart 5 reelection
