HITCH IN THE DEAL.
Baltimore Refinery Not Yet Com
trOlled by Sugar Trust.

Baltimore, Nov 25.-The sugar trust has
encountered an unexpected obstacle TO
Its control OF the Baltimore Sugar Refin-
ing Company. Lawyers who have cen
studying the situation claim that the re-
cent election Of directors. which resulted
in the defeat OF the old board, composed Of
BaltimOreans, and the substitution OF Il
board iii sympathy with the trust, was
Illegal.
the old management was una nimous in
favor Of starting the plant at Curtis Bay,
which is the best equipped plant of its size
IN the United states, as soon as possible
and had made arrangements to begin the
manufacture Of sugar by the middle Of De-
cember, providing work for 500 men.
The sugar trust wanted the plant to re-
nain idle and at the annual meeting about
two weeks ago showed that il owned a
majority Of the stock Of the Baltimore
company, and Therefore elected successors to
the Balti more directors. c. Morton
Stewart was the only resident Of Mary
land elected director, and as the laws
OF Mary land require that Il ma jority OF the
directors lie Residents OF this State il /,
the opinion of several LAWYERS who have
examined the situation for the minority
stockholders that the election is void.
The sugar trust is now considering this
phase OF the situation and IL is reported
that it will call the stockholders together
again for the purpose of Increasing the
Maryland representation in the board and
avoiding the legal complications which
would almost certainly ensue.
The minority stoc kholders have not
abandOnedthe mOvcme Mt to have the works
operated, and If the sugar trust does not
issue orders that will tart the plant I'D nd
enable it to earn returns upon the quarter
of million dollars or mere stock held
i'll this city within a reasonable length of
time, legal steps will be taken to enforce
the right Of tine local interests.
a large minority stockhnlder, speaking
of the situation, said today:
we have no desire to go into court and
we earnestly hope that the sugar trust will
not attempt to close the refinery We
will not resort to law unl',Ss W. are driven

against the lthacans.
1t is possible that Hedges may play left
