Acting Secretary of State Bacon has spoken with Jacob H. Hollander, who assures him that neither he nor Secretary of State for Treasury and Commerce Federico Velásquez y Hernández of the Dominican Republic were aware of a conversation occurring with Speyer & Company, although they have had ample opportunities. Bacon believes that Speyer & Company were not disadvantaged in any way, and that the plan they proposed was simply not as advantageous as that presented by Kuhn, Loeb, and Company and the Morton Trust company. He promises nevertheless to meet with Charles H. Tweed, as Roosevelt directs.
