Marconi with the American Wirelcsy
Tcepto one and Telegraph Company,
Cuthbert Hall, Signor Marconi's Brit
ish manager, has been In New York,
for some time and since November IS
has been in Philadelphia several
times for the purpose of eflecting the
combination.
1t is understood that the trouble
between the two companies as re.
suit Of their separate attempts to- ..re-
port the last series Of International
yacht races, has disposed to settle
their differences.
Another reason for the desired
combination is the fact that the two
companies cannot do business in the
same territory and at the same time.
According to official statements the
line between Baltimore aud Washing.
ton will be in operation within two
weeks. When questioned Yesterday
about their plans, Seymour Lee, Sec
retary Of the company, said:
sour stations in Washington and
Baltimore are finished and sites
have been secured and contracts let
for the series ofstations right through
TO New York
The tr ansmitting instruments for
, Baltimore and Washington are built
and awaiting the finishing of the CO.
herers necessary to complete the re-
ceiving instruments.
