All of those selected had not yet ac cepted, so formal announcement will not be made for another day or two. Four of the five to whom the president has offered places are: (Richard Olney of Boston, Mass., for mer secretary of state under President Cleveland, to be governor of the board. Paul Moritz Warburg, of New York, member of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company. Harry A.
