FOLK WANTS ALL BOOKS OR NONE Confers With Attorney for Morgan & Co. DIFFERENCE OF _ OPINION Counsel for Interstate Commerce Commission Insists That Examiners Be Given Access to All the Firm's Records for Purpose of Inquiry, New York, May 28.—For more than an hour Joseph W. Folk, counsel for the interstate commerce commission, conferred with Francis Lynde Stet: son, counsel for J. P. Morgan & Co., corcerning Mr. Morgan’s offer to al- low the commission to examine the firm’s records relating to the New Haven railroad. A statement by Mr. Folk after the conference indicated that there had been some difference of opinion as to what papers and rec- ords should be gone into. “We insist,” said Mr. Folk, “that the examiners shall decide for them- selves what books and papers of the firm relate to the New Haven. We also insist that these examinations shall not be confined to the books and papers handed them and said to be all that relate to the New Haven. “In other words, the examination, to be worth anything, must be thor- ough. We want all the books and papers or none at all.” New York, May 28.—William Rocke: feller has returned to Tarrytown from Fairfield, Conn. Through friends it was said that Mr. Rockefeller insists that he is not physically able to tes- tify before the interstate commerce commission; that his voice will not permit him to go on the stand, and 80 he considers attempts to gain such testimony an annoyance.
