MORGAN HOME TO HELP NAME CHIEF Return From Scotland Is Omen of Selection at Tuesday Meeting. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 28.— Gossip on Wall Street today turned from the stock market to speculation on the meeting of United States Steel directors after the market’s close tomorrow. The billion-dollar corporation at this meeting is expected to elect its second chairman since its organization twenty-six years ago. From that time until his death Aug. 15, last, Judge Elbert H. Gary held the post, building up one of the mightiest corporations on earth. At each directors meeting since Gary s death the same rumors have been circulated about an appointment together with a list of prospective candidates for the office. Each time the decision had been deferred, due it was said, to the absence of the most influential director, J. P. Morgan who was in Scotland. Morgan to Attend Parley Morgan will be present at tomorrow’s meeting. With him also will be George F. Baker, another director of prestige in the organization. Gary, Baker and Morgan have been classed as the “big three” of steel. Choice of a candidate to take Judge Gary’s place is a difficult task. Judge Gary developed with the steel industry, ever changing hi* views to conform with the better labor conditions and modern methods in corporation structure. James A. Farrell, president of the corporation, a co-worker for many years of Judge Gary, has been talked of as the most likely candidate for the position. Farrell Is Mentioned He cannot handle both the president’s job, which includes direction of the business and general supervision of the machinery of production, and that of chairman, the latter requiring close application in determining policies of the vast organization. However, conduct of the organization’s policies is relatively easier position to fill than the presidency, hence there is a possibility of another assuming that position. There are two others whose connection with the company fit them to assume the chairmanship. One of these is Myron C. Taylor, close associate of George F. Baker, and a director of the First National Bank, of which Baker is chairman. Baker’s recommendation will carry great weight in the final decision. The other is Nathan L. Miller, former Governor of New York State and attorney for the corporation. Miller’s close connection with the company’s affairs makes him able to assume duties to the chief executive officer. Coolidge Out es It Pierre S. du Pont, chairman of the board of E. I. du Pont, was eliminated automatically when the Federal Tarde Commission made an investigation of du Pont’s purchases of United States Steel stock. Dwight Morrow, former Morgan partner, was out of the running when he accepted the post as ambassador to Mexico. President Calvin Coolidge wae mentioned, but interests close to him stated he would not accept even though the position were tendered. Orlando F. Weber, president of Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, was mentioned shortly after Gary’s death, but his name has been dropped.
