CAPTURING A RAILROAD,
Mcleod Postpones the Decisive Move
to Next Week.
CONNECTICUT RIVER DIRECTORS
IN COUNCIL OF WAR.

If Mcleod Can Win Over Six of the Ten
He Can Accomplish His Purpose The
Position of the Boston & Maine is that
Having Bought the Stock 1t Wants to
Run the Road-It Probably VIII.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, December 3d.
The Boston 6 Maine railroad officials
postponed their conference planned for
today, with the Connecticut river direct
ors. F. FL. Prince telephoned this morn
ing that President Mcleod could not
come until next week.
:. The Connecticut River directors ad-
verse to Boston & Maine interest, held
secret injecting this afternoon, with
guarded doors, to plan to thwart the at
tempt of Mcleod and his lieutenants,
who propose to Get control, by lease, of
the Connecticut River road.
They seized the opportunity to hold
this meeting and talk matters over to-
gether before the expected arrival of
Frederick H. Prince of Boston, Presi-
dent Sewan of the Maine Central, and
President McLe I'd of the Boston &
Maine and Reading combine.
There were only six present, includs
ing President John Mulligan, VINO pre-
sided; E. F. Lane of Keene, Oscar Ed
wards of Northampton and ex-Congress-
man William Whiting of Holyoke. Pres
ident Mulligan requested them all to re-
main silent as to the transaction of the
business meeting, but it comes from a
reliable source that some of these pres
ent will try to prevent the lease Of the
road. Others positively refused to tender
their resignation, and will wait for de-
velopments. If there is no possibility of
thwarting the attempt of the Maine peo-
pie to get control by lease of the road
they will favor the lease.
The Maine interests by the recent deal,
of course, own the majority of stock in
the road and think it is no more than
right for them to have their own board
of directors and manage the River road
as they please. They will ask. it is al
legged, President Mulligan and the direc-
tors, who would not sell out, to immedi-
ately resign. s5das
If they do not at once resign, President
Mcleod will need to win over to this
side two more directors at least to block
business. A majority would cor
sist of six directors. The full board
composed of 10 directors, includi
President Mulligan.
