Unofficial predictions tonight favored the peaceful plan and it was the gen- eral Pel!ef that unless some unforeseen problem arises tomorrow announce- ment of an agreement would bo mada during the present week. The confident feeling that the New Haven and the department will ar- rive at a solution of thelr difficulties which will avoid a long struggie in the courts followed an all day_conference between Howard Hilliott, chairman of the board of the railroad and Attor- ney Gemeral McReynolds and T. W. Gregory and Jesse C. Adkins, special assistants to the attorney general, in charge of this case, Negotiations in Progressive Stage. Mr. Elliott announced tonight that he expected to remain fn Washington until Thursday and ,while he will not be in consultation with department of- ficials tomorrow, he will be in close touch with the situation and will be called upon to give his views upon any development: It was said tonight that the negotia- tions had reached the stage where Mr. Gregory might be expected to pass upon tentative proposals for an agree- ment which would follow the lines laid down in the “telephone truat” case and which would accomplish the ends de- sired by the department without re- sort to court procecdings.

To comply wit] the provisions of the Panama can: act, the New Haven must dispose of its steamship lines by June 1. May Turn Trolleys Over to Trustees. The Interstate Commerce Commis- on was clothed with power by the law to enforce this provision and al- though it so far has made no order, it may be expected any day. The ques- tion of the trolley lines has been one I point which troubled both the depart- ment and Chairman Elliott, but it was understood that no serious obstacle had arisen during today’s discussion. There was a suggestion that the New Haven might adopt the plan announced with the Boston and Maine and put its trolley lines in the hands of trustees, who would operate them for a stated period and then afs- pose of the stock to other parties. |in connection Elliott Resigns from Maine Central.
