WASHINGTON, March 4.— Neither ‘the Senate Committee on Banking and | ‘Currency nor its Chairman was influ- enced by any “prominent politician” to reject the selection of John Skelton Williams as Comptroller of the Cur- rency, members of the committee in- sisted yesterday. Former Senator John W. Weeks is the “prominent politician” to whom | reference is made »y Mr. Williams i¢| his statement. He was among those first preferring charges against the | ‘Comptrolier. Senator McLean, Chair- man of the Banking and Currency Committee, yesterday made thie state- | ment in reply to Mr. Williams: | “Mr. Williams had every opportunity to disprove the charges unged against hhis confirmation. Weeks were occupied im taking testimony, the hearings were public, and the testimony was printed. ‘The committee voted against reporting his nomination back to the Senate, and | as Chairman of the committee it’ was | toa cub- no waiting, my duty to act accordingly. ‘It is now Mr. Williams's privilege to abuse the court; and, as that court| ig composed of Senators, it is to be ex-| pected that he will have the cordial co- ration of the Chief Executis. Out- je of Mr. Williams's reprehensible conduct in office, it is to be borne in mind that there was an election last November, and his letter to the Presi- dent would indicate that he is a very poor loser.” : oes Boy Baby Abandoned. \A boy baby, about six months old, was found abandoned in a hallway of apartment hduse, at No. 334 West | 124th Street, last night by James Bur- dick, @ tenant.
