sed for proxies to be used at the meeting against the
present management At the office of Chase HiEginson

has not expressed at the meetings the board any dsa
isfacton with the policy OF the company certain that
II Mr. Clark should be chosen president the stockholders
would derive no advantage from his connection with the
Ncw-IIaven road. When he was formerly in charge OF
the England road be operated wholly in the inter
est Of the rival company.
AN ALLIANCE WITH THE NEw-HAyEN ROAD SOUGHT.
BosToN, Nov 12.-The Transcript saysi "The New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Is at the bottom Of the up
ward movement IN New York and New gland securities.
Charles p Clark formerly general manager OF the New
York and wEngand road, is vicepresident
Of the New York, New-Hayen and Hartford Company,
and 1t Is understood that proxies, solicited in the in
terest OF change OF management in the New England
road will be used to elect Clark president Ia place Of
james ii. Wilson.
THE last straw TO make break in the management Of
the New York and New England road rupture with
the NewIork, w-IIayen and Hartford by which har
mOnOus business relations could not longer exist under
the present management OF the New England road and
closer alliance with the kew-ayen road and further
with the pennsylvania road has been sought by those
desiring change I'm the NewYork and New England
management. 1t Is well known that the men now asking
for Hcw-lork and Hew-England proxies control the |
Hartford and Harlem scheme designed TO run parallel
with the New York, New Haven aud Hartford road
New York. This Hartford and Harlem scheme, II the
present plan goes through will probably be held In
allegiance worked into recent plan. II Is well
known that the Vanderbilt and Pennsy systems
preparing a struggle In Pennsylvania and that
such an outlet TO New England the New York and
New Haven with the NewYOr and New England could
give would be small advantage to the Pennsy lyania
system"
