Harrlman Says He Is All Right and
Asks to Be Let Alone,
Ardon, K. Y Aug. 31. Edward H.
Harrlman, urged by representatives of
tho press who havo camped about his
mountain homo since Wednesday last,
came out with a statement that ho
was all right. Though brief, tho state
ment Is straightforward and explicit,
with perhnpa a touch of patient resonl
ment nt tho surveillance to which ho
has been subjocted and a request that
rcportors withdraw, not so much for
his sake, but for hjs friends, who had
been Intercepted dally coming to and
from his residence by zealous Inter
vlowers, eager for tho latest bit of
information. It concludes thus frnnkly:
"If thoro Bhould bo anything sorious
I will let tho press know, nnd as I havo
never decolved them, I nsk that tho
press now withdraw Us representa
tives and rely on mo."
Tho general opinion is thnt Mr. liar
rlmnn would havo broken his Bllonco
long oro now hnd ho realized how Ills
continued silence and that of his fam
ily and associates bred wild and son
sntlonnl rumors.
In tho stntemont Mr. Harrlman ad
mitted that there was a consultation
botweon specialists at 1Mb houso, but
that they decided' that thoro wns noth
lng serious tho matter with him. Ho
did not mention tho possibility of an
operation.
With this reassuring nows, the Now
York stock market settled Itfolf, and
advances woro general. Tho effect on
tho Harrlman stocks was, of course,
most apparent, but thero wns a buoy
ant tendency everywhere manifest.
