New York, Jan. 2.-The withdrawal today of J. P. Morgan & Co. from more than a score of great corporations and the statement shortly after wards by George F. Baker, an almost eqiually dominant filgure in American finance, that he soon would take sim ilar action, gave \Vall street generally a thrill that almost brought trading on the stock exchange to a halt. While it probably is true that many prominent !bankers had information foreshadowing this momentous move toward ending interlocking direc torates, the public and brokers had 'no advance Knowledge of what was taking place in the -inner councils of the greatest of all American houses of finance. Wherever telephone and ticker flashed the news about the street, groups of men gathered to dis cuss what was the all-absorbing topic The Morgan Plan. Mr. Morgan, departing from his firm's traditional policy of silence, made a public statement announeing the withdrawal of five metml ers of .1. P. Morgan & 'Co. from directorships in 27 corporations and the intention to withdraw from 'more. .1. P. Morgan made this statement: "The necessity of attending many board meetings has been so serious a burden upon our time that we have long wished to withdraw front the di rectorates of many corporations. Most of these directorships we have accept ed with reluctance and only because we felt constrained to keep in touh with properties whielt we had reor ganized or whose securities we had recommended to the public, both here and abroad. "An apparent change in public sen timent in regard to directorships seems now to warrant us in seeking to resign front 'soei of these connections. Indeed, it may be, in view of the change in sentiment upon the stbject, that we shall be in a better position to serve such properties and their se curity holders if we are not direct ors. We have already resigned from the companies mentioned and we ex pect from time to time to withdraw front other boards upon which we feel there is no special obligation to remain." The Withdrawals. The companies to which Mr. Mor gan referred, from whose boards members of the firm have already sub inltted their resignation as directors, ars: J. P. Morgan---New York Central & Hudson tiver Railroad company; Vest Shore Railway company; Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway; Michigan Central 1ailroad company; New York, Chicago & St. Louis rail road; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railway; New York, New Mlaven & Iiartford railroad; Central New +ISnglaind railway; New York, Westchester & lioston ratil way; iar lent River & Port Chester railroad; Milbrook company; New I Iaven Navi gation company ; New Englandt~ Steam ship compitny; Ithodle Island~ comt pany; itllanmd Italliway coinpany; lItatford & Connecticut Western Rtail way comipainy; New York, Ointario & Western i'ail way; Western Union TelI egraphil comptany.

'Mr. Baker announed~ -his intentionm to withdrawv in response to a (hues tion whmetherm hte intended to follow the examplei of the Moi'gan firm. "I inttendl to get out as a dlrectoi' of all the companies that wvill let me," said lie. "As a matter of fact, I have beent beginninlg to (10 50 foi' the past two yeai's." Thle connections between Mi'. I aker' and the Morgana fIi'm, and espeeciaully with tihe late J1. P. Mor'gan, geinerally weren erelor its beincg so close that it is 'believed their common decision regarding withdrawal frozn interlock ing directoratos was reached as the esult of concerted action. There was no evidence that any general agree ment had been reached among other leading financiers of Wall street.. ills Stomach Trouibles Over.
