cy of the Equitable Life Aiei.'-

(Dy Associated Press.)
Now York .May 18. .Ian. H. Hyd
It was said today. has written to Po -master
General Cortelyou asking lilm
whether he would accept the prcn
dency or tin Uquttable Life Assurance
Society If It were offered him. Mr.
Hyde's letter Is undoubtedly Mte ba-.t-;
of tho reports persistently circulated
recently that Mr. Cortelyou Is to suc-
ceed Janice W. Alexander at lu-ud of
the Institution.
It has been fold authoritatively for
Mr. Cortelyou that there was tn
ground for those reports' ixecpt tlwt
he- had been approached by persons
who admitted that they had no author-
ity to maku an offer of the presidency.
Mr Hyde Is of course without autho"-
ity s-o far as any action of the bonr.i
of 'llr.'-ctors 1b concerned but he Is
tha holder of 1a majority of the stock
and hiB several times demonstrated
his control of the board. Behind Mr.
ttyvh- is the effort to pet Mr. Cortcl
you aro Chairman II. C. Prick of the
ti-yuiuible'a self-investigating commit'
too and Senator Philander C. Knox
coubscI for the committee. What re-
ply the posttmster-general made to
Mr. Hyde was not learned today.

her husband was a good man nnd nev-
er wn quarreled with her during
their long lnarrhd life. He welshed
about lsli pounds nnd stood six foci
