STOCK wa Haven Board Defies Threatened Stit of - McReynolds. New York, July 17.—By unanimous vote the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company, at a special meeting yes- terday, decided to stand by their de- cision not to sell to the state of Massachusetts their holdings of Bos- ton and Maine railroad stock under the terms imposed by that state. In the language of the official statement “the dirdctors have . neither receded from their position nor closed the door to further negotiations.” The terrms imposed by the state of Massachusetts in connection with the sale of the New Haven's Boston and Maine stock contain the provision that each certificate must bear a stipulation on the part of the pur- chaser that he will sell his shares to the state of Massachusetts at any time named. The New Haven directors took the ground in a recent official statement that compliance with this condition would render thie stock undesirable as a purchase on any fair basis, No Receiver Asked for. Emphatic denial was made of the rumors recently current that applica- tién for a friendly receivership was contemplated. On this point the statement says: “The directors will not apply for, nor will they consent to a receiver- ship. The company {8 solvent, is rearning its fixed charges, and is able to meet ({ts current obligations promptly.” President James Hustis, who pre- sided at yesterday’s meeting in the absence of Chairman Howard Eilliott, now taking a -vacation, declined to amplify the formal statement dealing with the Boston & Maine situation. It was inferred, however, that the New Haven directors had re-opéned mego- tiations with the department of jus- tice at Washington on this point and that a further extension of tims might Le granted by the federal authorities aending an adjustment of this ques- on. As a matter\ of fact, Attorney Gen- eral McReynolds gave the New Haven directors until midnight Thursday té arrive at some . agreement Tegarding the sale of the Boston and Maine stock. This time was extended by the cficials at Washington when they learned that a special meeting of the New Haven board'had been called for yesterday. On Interstate Report. 3 of the board was ih the most important since that at which the res: ation dfl “Chiafles 8. "Méilen wai i d,- and Mr. Elliott elected -as- his successor. Among other momentous question the bourd was called to conmsider the Triterstate Commerce - Commilssion’s recent scathing denunciation and ar- raignment of the former mwn:ge- ment. The . only direct : reference to this ignment was contained in the bare annduncement that 4 committes of ‘three was to be appointsd to ‘take the gommission's report ‘umder. con- sideration and make known its con- clusion to the board at a futurs meeting. The persistent rumors of anticipat- €d résignations from the board were not substantiated. John L. Billard, one of the directors, who was the| subject of much criticism in the in- terstate commerce commission report, did not appear at the meeting and so far as could be learned no action re- garding his status as a director was taken. ‘Wil Sue Billard. It is considered sufcient that =a special committee of three directors, appointed a few weeks ago to inquire into the relations of the Billard com- pany with the New Haven company, reported to the directors that under advice of counsel they were taking Steps to recover such sums as may be due to the New Haven road. Yesterday’s meeting was attended by seventeen of the twenty-three Tembers of the board, including Wil- lam Rockefeller, who issued a denial of the report that he intended to re- sign. The other absentees in addition to Mr. Elliott and Mr. Billard, were Frederick F. Brewster, George F. Baker, Morton F. Plant and D, New- ton Barney. Official Statement. The following officlal statement was' made after the mesting: - At the regular monthly meeting of the board held today at the Grand. Central Terminal, President Hustis presiding, the directors absent from the meeting were George F. Baker, who was abroad; Frederick F. Brews- ter, who was in Newfoundland; Mor-’ ton F. Plant, T. Newton Barney, John L. Billard and Howard Elliott, ‘who had been given a six weeks’ leave of absence at the last regular meet- ing. Mr. Elliot is now taking his vacation. Contrary to reports, he is not seriously ill, and is expected to return to duty on August 15. “Regarding the recent report of the interstate commerce commission Wwherein it was stated: ‘In justice to the presént management it is but fair to say that its chief:executive officer and his special counsel have co-oper- ated with the commission and ren- dered it substantial ~ assistance throughout this investigation,’ the gentlemen referred to were Measrs.

Billard, made famous as the head of the Bil- lard company which played such a part in the interstate commerce com- mission’s report, does not care to dis- cuss that or matters growing out. of it. He was asked last night if he had anything to say upon the var- ! jous matters with which his name has been connected lately and he re- marked: “I have nothing to say.” To Begin Suit at Once. ‘Washington, July 16.—Department of justice officials were plainly sur- prised last night to learn that the New Haven board of directors might reopen negotiations for a peaceful dissolution of that system. It has been understood here for several days that - Attorney-General McReynélds recently made his position clear to the New Haven management and an- nounced that a failure to accept the terms on the Boston and Maine stock sale impossed by Massachusetts would drive the department to the fililng of an anti-trust suit, It is well known that the bill against' the New Haven under the Sherman' law' is ready for filing at once, and it is not believed possible that the suit will be long delayed, 1 | unless there are unlooked for develop- ment; '"There were reports in Washington today that President Wilson might be-asked to bring about a compro- mise and a continuation of the ne- gotiations between the road and the department of justice. The presi- dent, ‘however, recently told callers that he belleved the New Haven should accept the Massachusetts leg- islation, which its directors disap- proved and it.was not believed prob- able that he would change his atti- tude. The president was told that in pass- ing legislation, which provides that Massachusetts shall always have the right to buy the Boston and Maine stock, no new condition was imposed upon the New Haven. The charter of the Boston Rallroad Holding com- pany, which owns the Boston and Maine stock and which in turn is con- trolled by the New Haven, has this provision in it also. No Question Raised. At no time during the negotiations with the department of justice, ac- cording to officlals was there any question raised about this right of Massachusetts. The agreement be- tween the two parties provided that Massachusetts should enact legisla- tion to annul another portion of the holding company’'s charter Which forbade the sale of the Boston and Maine stock without state approval. This, department officials declared, has been done and the New Haven has no just ground for complaint. Attorney Genperal McReynolds de- clined to comment upon the action of the directors, but it was said in offi- cial circles that a formal statement outlining the department's pesition throughout the negotiations probably would be issued soon. Unless some action by the New Haven management causes a change in the present plans, it is expected that the civil suit will be started within a few days, and that soon af- terward the attitude of the depart- ment toward criminal prosecution of officers and directors of the New Haven under the Mellen management will be made known, OVUIMET V8.
