PROBABLE CHANGES IN THE DIRECTORATE AT
THE COMING ANNUAL MEETING
Rumor is still busy with the BROOKLYN Ranid
transit Company, more particularly with regard to
what is expected to develop at the annual meeting
OF the company on January &C. Wall Street thinks
that changes of far reaching character will then
take place, although it is not believed as some
persons intimate, that the control of the pronertv
VIII be taken from the so-caled Flower interests
the present controlling power. Arson r. Flower
VINO with Frederick P. Olcott and ANTHONY n
Brady, were the voting trustees whose terms ex
preo last saturday, will probably take a place in
the directorate and it is thought that President
Rossiter, Secretary Williams, Mr. Brady and II G
Du Val will be reelected to the Board the last
named as a representative of the Vanderbits who
are supposed to have large block of transit stock
Among new names mentioned for places in the
Board are +. H. Hartman. II. H. Porter who il
prominent in several of the Flower speciaIties
ana senator Depew. AS the Standard Oil neOnIe
are believed 10 be interested in the property II is
likely that they too, will be represented in the list
OF directors. There is little likelihood that the
sernl-annual statement of the company will be
given out before the day of the annual meeting
Anson X. Flower refused to affirm or deny YES
terday the rumors that Standard OIL had gained O.
controlling or almost controlling interest in the
company. He said the annual meeting: would dis
close the truth or falsty of such rumors.
