EXCHANGE President Whitney De- clares Some Testimony Is “Misleading” SENATE COMMITTEE DID NOT GET FACTS Abuses Are Being Recti- fied— Short Selling Produces Results T | NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—Asserti that much of the testimony pr ented before the Senate Stock Ex- change Investigating Committee | } was “misleading,” Richard Whitney, President of the New York Stock Exchange, has filed a report with | § the Governors of the Exchange.
