B-12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, RIOT ENDS CANDY COMPANY MEETING Police Called to Preserve Or- der When Stockholders Come to Blows. ) By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 20.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Loft Candy Co. ended in a near riot here yesterday and uniformed policemen ‘were called in to preserve order. Alfred R. Miller, president of the company, ad- rned the meeting without transact- ing any business. After the adjournment, an insurgent p of stockholders, who are seeking to wrest control of the company from Miller, convened and elected a new board of directors, headed by Mathew J. Sullivan. The insurgents were led by Charles G. Guth, former vice president of the company, who has been seeking to oust Miller since last January, when he was voted out of office. Shortly after the meeting got under way, President Miller, who was presid- ing, was interrupted by Guth, who de- manded that a chairman be elected for the session. Nearly all of the 200 persons who were in the meeting room apparently were Guth's supporters, and fist fights nearly developed between them and officials of the company in the argu- ments that followed. A call was sent in for the police, and Miller ordered its records taken from the room and locked in the safe. Miller issued a statement after the rump session had ended, détlaring that the meeting was illegal, and that the present board of directors and officers Would continue in_control of the com- | pany until a legal stockholders’ meet- ing could be held to elect a new board, Discord among the stockholders of the candy company began a year ago | when George W. Loft and George Leon Loft were custed from control of the | company and Miller became president. ‘When the company merged with the Mayis Candy Co. of Baltimore, an agreement was made whereby Guth be- came executive vice president of Loft, | which marked the start of his differ- ences with Miller.
