BANKER CALLS ON ROOSEVELT
NEW YORK, Feb. 22. (U.P.)—A morning conference presumably on international finance, in which William H. Woodin, the next secretary of the treasury, participated, prevented President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt from leaving for Hyde Park at 10:45 a. m., as intended.
Woodin, together with Norman H. Davis, American representative at the Geneva arms conference, and Jesse H. Jones, of Houston, Tex., of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, entered the Roosevelt home shortly after 9 a. m. With them was a man officially described as "an unannounced visitor."
Mr. Roosevelt's secretary later announced a change in plans for his departure to the Krum Elbow estate, and said the President-elect would leave about 2 p. m.
The "unannounced visitor" later was identified as A. P. Giannini San Francisco banker. He said he had made a "side trip" from Chicago to see Mr. Roosevelt but refused to reveal what the subject of their conference was.
Others at the Roosevelt home today were Amos Carter, Texas publisher, R. A. Josey, and Martin Conroy, New York lawyer who acted as Mr. Roosevelt's counsel in the ouster hearing against former Mayor James J. Walker of New York.
After seeing the President-elect Giannini conferred with Jesse H. Jones, of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, on the sidewalk in front of the house for about 10 minutes. Giannini said there was no significance in the fact he and Jones both saw Mr. Roosevelt today.
