OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF CONFERENCE
Representatives Of Mr.. Hyde and Mr.. AIexar-
der kept in close touch with the conference +.
H. Hartman was one Of the first to leave it.
Go ask at the door," he said in answer TO a
question as to what had been done. Don't
ever ask me word about the Equitable. I don't
know anything about it." Senator Depew had
been chosen to furnish the official report Of the
conference, which he did after this fashion:
There were twenty-three members present at
the meeting Mr. Schiff called the meeting TO
order and in doing stated he not alone
responsible for the meeting, but that many Of
the directors had spoken to him Of the necessity
for the directors to meet and confer on the
situation and conditions of the society. and
then stated the reasons which he thought called
for a general conference before official action
should be taken by the board of directors.
Mr.. Charles S. Smith was then made chair
man of the meeting, but no secretary was ap-
pointed, that it should not take the form Of
meeting. but merely be considered a conference.
Speeches were made suggestive of future
MANAGEMENT of the society and the action
which it's speakers thought the board of di-
rectors should take at it's meeting. Every
speech took the form of suggestions. and they
were made by NJ. E. Ingalls,. D. o. Mills, Jacob
H Schiff, Charles S. Smith, E. H. Hartman, J.
T. Low, George J. Gould and Chauncey NJ.
Depew.
1t was unanimously decided that it would be
unwise, before the report of the investigating
committee and the meeting of the board of di-
rectors, for any resolution to be adopted any
definite action suggested.
The only affirmative action taken was that the
board of directors should be called together
not later than the 31st of this month. and on
ample notice, sc that the directors from a dis
tance could, they anxious to. arrange
their affairs to be present. and that the investi
eating committee should. if possible. then make
it's report.

resolution. saying that April 15, 1902. the So
ciety adopted resolution referring the question
of the acceptance Of the group to the Fine Arts

luton will state that in response to the resolution
passed by the society the directors of the MetrOpo

east wing and placed it in the cellar, and that
investigation had shown that the resolution passed
by the society inspired solely by professional
jealousy and without justification excuse. The
resolution asks that the resolution passed by the
society April Is, 1902 be cancelled.
