At the same time it was announced
that Richard Whitney. the president
of the exchange for the last five years,

The posting of Gays name on the
bulletin board had been foreshadowed
by word that issued last week from
authoritative, if not official, quarters
Whitney's acceptance of the nomi-
nation was regarded as Signifying the
termination of International strife
which had ragged in the membership
since strong opposition developed
against the reelection of Whitney.
denomination Urged.
Although he did not commit himself
publicly, Whitney was believed to be
willing to serve another term, and
many of the members who supported
his candidacy were vociferous in their
demand for his denomination.
Formal election will take place May
13. Until last week Whitney's sup
porters had intimated that he might
be persuaded to run on an independent
ticket and make the election a real
fight, instead of the mere formal ac-
ceptance of the Nomination Commit
tees choice that 1t has been in the
past ...
In an acceptance statement. Gay
said the exchange was alive ito the
necessity of proving" that it performs
"a vital public service"
Pointing to the present low volume
of transactions, Gay said, Il am
convinced that we are on the eve of
better times, that business men are
anxious to go ahead"
Points to Slow Market.
Gays statement follows: 'The Nom
mating Committee of the New York
Stock Exchange has honored me with
the nomination for president, and I
have accepted. My decision Is based
upon the representations of the COM
mittee, which under the craftsmanship
of r. Lawrence Oakley has made
studied and conscientious effort to
ascertain the. sentiment Of members
and non-members, the reaction to a
change of administration at this time
and its effect upon the public and the
press"

Sir John Emphasizes Austrian
Situation in Addressing
House of Commons.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April S.-Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald announced today
that he and Sir John Simon, foreign
secretary, would form the British
delegation to the conference with
Italy and France at Stresa Thursday.
The prime minister made the an
nouncement himself in the House OF
Commons in reply to question by
Austen Chamberlain, former lord
privy seal, who referred to the sudden
illness which has sent Capt. Anthony
Eden, the present lord privy seal. to
bed for q complete rest.
Chamberlain said to the prime min
ister: May l express what is the
general feeling of sympathy with the
lord privy seal and also express the
hope that he will speedily recover?"
Regrets Edens Illness.
Macdonald replied: THE British
representative will be the foreign
secretary and myself. I need hardly
tell the House how happy 1 am to
associate myself with Mr.. Chamber
lain in regretting that the lord privy
seal cannot also go to Stresa as one
Of the representatives of the govern
ment"
Before Macdonald spoke Sir John
told the House that both the political
and economic aspects of the Austrian
situation must be borne in mind at
any discussion of the powers regard
ing that country, but that Great
Britain's policy at Stresa on the Aus
trian question could not be divulged
for the present.
Premier Mussolini will head the
Italian delegation and reports from
Paris indicated Premier Pierre
Etienne Flandin would lead the
French diplomats.
Cabinet Meets Two Hours.
The British cabinet was called to
10 Downing street for a two-hour
session, and it was said that Sir John
and Macdonald outlined for the min
listers q plan for a European security
system in which all nations could, if
they wished, participate.
The French and Italians are re-
earded as still unsatisfied with what
thus far is known of the British pro-
gram, but the cabinet was hopeful
the plan would meet with their ap-
proval at least on the main premise
Of general security system.
Capt. Eden's illness was not dag
nosed as critical, but his physicians
ordered that he have complete rest
and not be bothered by affairs of
state.
Personal Report Prevented.
Edens indisposition prevented him
from making a personal report on his
European trip at today's crucial cabi-
net session.
1t also will eliminate him from the
list of Great Britain's representatives
at the tri-power conference and the
important sessions of the League of
Nations Council next week
Ever since his return from his
breath-taking fortnight's tour of five
continental countries from Paris to
Moscow the lord privy seals report
has been anxiously awaited by his
colleagues in the government.
After a conference with his private
physician and heart specialist yes
terday. however, the 37-year- -old
diplomatic ace learned he must take

 Now nearing the century-mark, Frau Hainisch is filled with mis- givings that her work and that of others who have labored with her for international peace has been in vain.
 At the age of 96, I shall wit ness perhaps another dreadful war. Italy, am sorry to say, re- fuses to yield from her stand point. All eforts of France and England to prevent the threats of war have remained till now with out much chance of success" she declared when asked for her frank opinion on the present situa- tion in the Gold World from the viewpoint of war versus peace.
 Money Favors War Makers
 "One needs more money to pre- vent wars than to wage them, 1t seems. And those who wish to makei war have more money at their disposal than we do who are striving to prevent them"
 "Six of my grandsons partici- pated in the World War; and only a woman who, like me, was ter- rorized with fear for the safety of 50 many dear ones can weigh the horror of war;" she asserted. Her tone seemed to imply that she visualized . coming war so keenly that she suffered already the tor

 The interview took place in the country house of the Hainisch family in the Alpine country near Gloggnitz. Her most illustrious son, Mkilas' predecessor as Pres ident of postwar Austria, was not with her at the time.
