In 1898 Ochs became ambit ious again on hearing that the "once mighty and prosperous New York'Times was almost in death-throes and that no New York newspaper man of recog¬ nized ability could be induced to tackle its resuscitation." Other¬ wise, of course, an out-and-out outsider would not have been thought of in connection with its control. This, he says, is what happened:

They argued to themselves that he, with his well-known irascibility, might flatly refuse to countenance the proposition and that this might work aU in¬ jury to the property.
