HYDE DANCE STARTS
A WAR OF MILLIONS
Elaborate Fancy Dress Ball Costs
One Company 100000 Of
Business.


James H Hyde's 100000 fancy
dress ball at Sherry's. in New York
city at which Nine. Rejane is said
TO have danced the cancan in the wee
wee sma' hours, has cost one life in
surance company 100000 worth of
business.
II may cost the Hyde family the
control of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, which has assets of
s413, 900 900 and outstanding policies
for sl,500,O00.0 900.
Many multimillionaires are in a Ii
tanic contest for control of that great
organization, and great financial
struggle may ensue that will shake
the foundations of Wall street itself
The Equitable is a stock company
with a capitalization of 100000
Henry B. Hyde, its founder, owned
S51 900 of the stock and bequeathed
it to his wife, his son and his daugn-
ter. James H. Hyde, the son repre-
sents the family interest as vice pres
ident of the Equitable and the Hydes
ownership of a bare majority OF the
stock gives MIN control Of the nam
moth institution.
Mr. Hyde is not yet 30 years old.
and is known to fame chiefly as a
leader of society. driver of coaches
and patron of the French language.
Since the ball the company has been
deluged with letters of criticism from
policy holders, of whom there are
100000. His frivolity has also given
point to criticisms made by Thomas
W. Lawson against the great life in
surance companies. James w. Alex
ander. president of the Equitable So
ciety and a veteran insurance man,
leads faction of the company, which
demands that it shall be made a mu-
tual society and That every policy
owner for $1,000 or more shall have
a vote in its affairs. This demand has
gone so far that protest has been
drawn up against the reelection OF
young Hyde as vice president
While Mr.. Hyde would appear to
have the whip-nand, it is significant
that most of the expert insurance
men in the organization, including
many of the best agents, are with
President Alexander, and their defec-
tion would be a severe blow TO the
Equitable.
One of the officers of the company
said today: ''Do you know what the
effect of Mr. Hyde's recent fancy
dress ball has been? Well 1t has hurt
insurance business all over the coun-
try. The manager OF one of the big
gest insurance companies in the
country told me that it mad hurt his
company si,0O0,000 already. If it has
done that to an outside company,
what has it done to the Equitable,
There has been no exaggeration,
assure you, of the effect of Mr..
Hyde's fancy dress ball"
