UNIVERSITY REFUSES TO CONFIRM NEWS REPORTS

University authorities have refused to confirm or deny rumors current yesterday that H. L. Shattuck '01 would succeed C. F. Adams '88 as treasurer of the University. No official announcement of Mr. Adams's resignation or of the naming of his successor will be made until after Tuesday when the Senate will take action on the appointments of Mr. Hoover.

Obviously confirmation or denial by the University of the naming of a new treasurer would indicate acceptance of the resignation of Mr. Adams, who also has avoided formal announcement that he has been chosen by Mr. Hoover for the post of Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Adams prefers announcement to come from the office of the new Chief Executive.
