New York, Sept. 1S.-A special to the
Times from New Haven, Conn.,, says:
The mater Of choosing a successor to
President Clark, of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road, is now in the
hands of the standing committe, con-
sitting of President Clark, Vice-President
John Hall, VIM. Rockefeller, j. Pierpont
Morgan of New York; George j. Brush
of New Haven; Henry c. Robinson,
Hartford; Charles F. Choate. of Boston
and w. d. Bishop of Bridgeport, Conn.
The appointment of a successor will be
satisfactory both to President Clark and
the New York stockholders and there will
be no difficulty in choosing the man. This
may be the present vice-president John
Hall, or it may be General Manager
Chamberlain or one of numerous rail
road men, among whom are President c
S. Mellen of the Northern Pacific, whe
was at one time vice-president of thu
New Haven roa End would like to re,
turn as it's president; President Lu
cius Tuttle, of the Boston an
Maine. or a man more closely in
either of these.
A prominent stakeholder of thu
road is authority for the statemen
that Mr.. Clark's withdraw means
the absorption of the New Havel
road by the Vanderbilt system and tina
developments in the directorate in tn
neal future will prove this. Corneliu
Vanderbilt owned upward of 81, 900, 90
of the stock of the road and the re-pass
ing of the stock into the hands of tn
Vanderbilts, means, it is said, a close
relation between the Vanderbilt interest
and the New Haven road. However tru
this may be it is certain that interesting
developments are looked for here in tn
immediate future by New Haven roa,
stockholders and sweeping changes il
the makeup of the directors would no
be a surprise to anyone. 1t is believes
here that the directors of the New Enc
land control Of the New Haven road wi
pass away with Mr.. Clark's retirement.
