Selection of Future Chief
Of Association Attracts
Unusual Interest
Bs the Associated Press.

bs the Associated PresS
NEW YORK, Nov. IA neck-and-
neck race, with dark horses by the
score" was seen today o. possibility
in the contest for second vice presi-
dent Of the American Bankers Asso-
ciation, stepping stone to the presi-
dency in 1901.
At the associations convention in
Houston. Tex, week after next the
outcome was anybody's guess, Wall
Street bankers reported.
The uncertainty has arisen, these
sources said, from the fact that this
year two strong men" are compet-
ing for the Office. They are Laird
Dean, president of the Merchants
National Bank Of Topeka, Kans., and
P. D. Houston, chairman of the
board Of American National Bank OF
Nashville. Tenn.
Started Last April.
Both had their hats thrown into
the election ring by supporters as
far back as the meeting Of the asso-
cations Executive Council last April
at Biloxi. Miss.
It's the custom of the association
to advance its top-flight officers a
notch each year When the bankers,
5000 strong, gather at Houston on
November 14-17. they will elevate
First Vice President Philip A. Ben
son to the association presidency for
the year 1889. Benson Is president
of Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn.
He will succeed the retiring present
president, Orval w. Adams. executive
vice president of Utah State National
Bank Of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Next year Robert M. Hanes. presi-
dent of Wachovia Bank & Trust Co.
of Winston Salem, N. c., who this
month will be elevated from the
second vice presidency Of the asso-
citation to the first vice presidency,
will become president fthe associa-
ton for the year 1939-40.
Bankers here said because Of the
apparent impasse in the contest Of
Dean and Houston for the post,
there is a tendency to look around
for a dark horse" for the ofnce-a
man who would win the support of
both Dean and Houston constituents.
Ozark Horse" Mentioned.
Three potential dark horses" are
now being mentioned in local bank
ing circles as possible winners over
Dean and Houston in case of a
deadlock, bot, broadly speaking,
every member of the association is
a potential dark horse"
One of the three most prominently
mentioned is John B. Byrne, presi-
dent of Hartford Connecticut Trust
Co., Of Hartford, Conn.
A second is Frank P. Powers, a
"favorite son" OF the Northwest,
president of Kanabec State Bank of
Mora, Mimi, president of the Min
nesota Bankers Association.
There is also William S. Elliott,
president of the Bank of Canton.
Canton, Ca, who before entering
commercial banking was with the
United States Treasury for % years.
