Last week Hilton Vice President John W. Houser announced that with the help of a former G-man he had tentatively picked a reputable Cuban businessman and two Nevada politicians to run the Hilton casino. Houser added that he had been questioned by District Attorney Hogan and surmised that Hogan believed Anastasia was shot for trying to move in on Cuban territory. Hogan announced that he wanted to question Trafficante and Silesi. From Havana Trafficante pleaded, "I don't know what this is all about." Silesi, also in Havana, was more succinct. Hogan, he said, "can drop dead." Lansky himself dropped out of sight.
