MAY PUT THE EQUITABLE
OUT OF BUSHES

New York, March 8.-The .Wor
says:
At recent conference OF the Als
ander and Hyde factions in the Equit
bic Life Assurance Society war t
astounding threat was made by one
the Hyde party that rather than su
render control of the society, affai
of the Equitable would be wound u
SO that the huge assets Of the corpo
alton could be distributed among Il
stockholders.
The method proposed was as follow
To provide for the reinsurance OF Il
6oo,ooo policy holders of the Equitab
IN other companies, notably the Ne
York Life and the Mutual Life, on !;
arrangement that would transfer
the companies taking re-insuranc
sums from the assets of the Equitab
sufficient to profit them in taking SUI
tremendous amount of business
one lump and much of it old busine
that is soon to mature. (
If the affairs of the Equitable we
wound up, and even if all of its reser
fund Of $4I3,ooo,ooo were used to p
into the treasures of the compani
which take over its S., 500, 100000
outstanding policies, there would ST
remain a surplus of $8I 600, 900.
The policy-holders all being dispos,
OF, and without any right to claim al
interest in the Equitable, it is clainr
that it would then be eminently prop
to wind up its affairs by distributing
assets pro rata among the suryiyii
owners-the stockholders. 8
Were such a plan carried out, Il
100000. capital stock OF the socic
would have at least a value equivale
to the surplus of $8I, ,ooo, 200. Th
would make each of the thousai
shares worth $I,o 1t would NAL
the $40 shares of the Hyde esta
worth $4I,3Io, 600, or more than eig
times the amount offered young Hyt
for his controlling interest by the Ha
riinan-Frick syndicate.
The holdings OF the Hyde family a
now, however, greatly in excess OF S
shares. Since the fight began, youf
Hyde. on the advise of his lawyer
has bought every share of Equitab
stock that could be bought. Emo
nous prices have been paid for son
OF the shares
