Stillman Sails for Europe Amid Harriman Inquiry Absence
The Washington Post reports James Stillman of National City Bank sailing to Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm 7 though not on passenger lists. The Interstate Commerce Commission inquiry into Harriman matters remains indefinite, with no subpoena served. A close source says Stillman planned travel and may go later, while a misstate about William Rockefeller directing Union Pacific in 1932 is corrected. Rockefeller never served as a Harriman road director.

Seizes ballot boxes as court order ignored in New York
Attorney General William Schuyler Jackson said he could not locate all ballot boxes held under a Supreme Court order and hinted at contempt actions against the board of elections. Agents raided storage sites across Greater New York to secure ballots from the Hearst McClellan mayoral contest, locating many boxes that were newly sealed and guarded. Dooling refused to reveal locations or surrender the boxes, and the matter centers on potential recounts while Justice Hendricks’ order must be complied with.
