Specter of politics in Glaflin failure
Washington July 1 That the Clatk lin failure in New York widely featured in the financial press as the greatest mercantile disaster this country has ever known has many angles not the least political. Friends of the administration say banks could have aided Claflin if they acted, while noting high call money and gold exports. A caller cites a deep political game, linking Southern and Western stores backed by Claflin to Democratic support and trust-busting pressures. A banker with political ties suggests the issue could influence a home congressman’s stance as the Claflin paper shows thin assets and rapid decline.
