DENVER, Colo., Feb. 21.—As-
surance that Charles Boettcher II.
kidnaped nine days ago, would be
returned safely to his family If
ransom was paid, was awaited by
the young millionaire’s father,
Claude K. Boettcher, today.
The elder Boettcher requested
late yesterday that the corps of
newspapermen which had been
stationed at his home and at the
home of young Boettcher be re-
moved.
The request was interpreted as
an effort to facilitate contact with
the abductors. Except to deny
persistent rumors that he had
ready a large sum of cash- vari-
ously'reported at from $60,000 to
$100,000 Mr. Boettcher would
make no statement. There were
“no new developments," he said.
Denver polic said that three
men arrested in Wellington, Kan.,
are not wanted by authorities
here. Kansas police had believed
the men. Albert Stinnett and Ev-
erett Howard, Pueblo, and Ross
Colman. Blackwell,. Okla., might
have fled Colorado because they
feared questioning about the kid-
naping.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt will announce
the name of his Secretary of State
and possibly of his Secretary of
Treasury, within a few days, It
was believed here as a result of
Mr. Roosevelt’s conference with
Sir Ronald Lindsay British am-
bassador, on war debt revision.
The President-elect strongly In-
timated that he expected Sir Ron-
ald and the incoming Secretary
of State to confer before March 4
on plans for an Anglo-American
debt conference. Since the Treas-
ury Department Is vitally concern-
ed in any plans for debt revision,
It was believed the new Secretary
of the Treasury might be a party
to the discussions.
Senator Cordell Hull of Ten-
nessee is widely reported to he

In the new cabinet, but neither
Mr. Roosevelt nor Senator Hull
has offered any public verifica-

that he might receive the treas-
