Even President Cas- | satt of the Pennsylvania came in for a share of the rumors. Most of these men denied the storles emphatically. ] President Callaway, when seen at his | L., de- ! clared that the presidenc: outh- ern Pacific had not been offered to him, and therefore he could not have accepted it. | President Truesdale of the Lackawanna | sald: “You cannot deny the report too | emphatically: so far as T am concerned there is nbsolutely no truth in it.” President Baldwin of the Long Island also denied that he knew anything of the report connecting his name with the | Southern Pacific Charles H. Tweed, second vice president of the Southern Pacific, denied all knowl- | edge of the project to select an outsider | to succeed Mr. Huntington. He was asked | if he had heard that Mr. Ingalls might be | asked to take the place, and said: | “Oh well, if they've got it all fixed for But 1 have heard nothing of it.” | Mr, Tweed denfed the story printed in a | morning newspaper purporting to give the | results of an appraisal of Mr. Hunting- | ton’s estate.” He sald no appraisal had | yet been made.
