who is in New York city. was (not
present. and at the end of an hours
questioning about the finances of the
firm. a. continuance was made until
Mr. “‘arshauer could come to Nor-
walk to be examined.
The main item of questioning was
about a. mtement filed with the Trust
Company in October: of last year,
when application was niade for a.
loan. At this time. the assets of- the
company were given as $12. 000 worth
of merchandise and claims of about
38. 000.
bankruptcy were filed. unsecured
claims amounted to $17 000 and as~
sets to about 83. 600, this consisting
of stock on hand.
Mr. Nowell said that he had not
kept the books and so could not ex-
plain some of the' items, saying that
Mr. Warshauer was the man who
had handled all of the bookkeeping.
At the time the statement was filed
with the bank. Kr. Nowell said that
he beleved‘it to be correct and stated
that to his best knowledge it was.

Curzon. secretary of state for foreign
affairs will be offered the premiership
. sud that either he or Stanley ledwin

Lord Derby is also spoken of as a;

in the event—which at. the moment is

The prospect of Lord CIR-zen as

the foreign secretary would be u dis-
