 Report Rejected and Alexander and
 Hyde Both Speak Against It's Publi-
 eation-A Chairman of the Board to
 be Created With Plenary Powers
 Over All Departments.
 New York, June 22.-Disputed claims of victory by two conflicting factions in the Equitable Life Assurance society, and an apparent readjustment of inter- ests, marked the meetings of the direc- tors of the society held to-day for the purpose of passing on the report of the committee of seven, of which H. c. Prick Is chairman.
 The only positive results of the meet ing, of which official announcement was made was the rejection of the re- port of the Prick committee by a very large majority, the resignation of MT. Prick, MT. Bliss and MT. Hartman from the board of directors and the passage of the resolutions embodied in the following statement given out by the directors after the final adjourn ment;
 "The board, after full discussion and after replies on their own behalf to the committee by President Alexander, Vice-P President Hyde and Vice-Presi- dent Tarbell, on motion of Mr. Schsff, adopted the following resolutions:
 "Q)-That chairman of the board be created with plenary powers over all departments and affairs of the society.
 "((2)-That nominating committee, consisting of D. o. Mills, John A. Stew art, A. J. Cassatt, T. Jefferson Coolidge, August Belmont, J. B. Forgan and Robert T. Lincoln be requested to re port at meeting of the board to be called on Wednesday next, a candidate for chairman.
 "(3)-That at that meeting of the board the executive committee be reor- ganized, and that appropriate amend- ments to the bylaws should be pre- pared for submission to that meeting for the purpose of carrying out these resolutions.
 "(4)-That MT. James Hazen Hyde be requested, within three months. to di- vest himself of the control of the stock of the society, on such terms and cons. ditions shall be satisfactory to him and to the board,
 Of the full board of fifty directors, the following thirty-seven were pres ent, and decided against the acceptance of the Prick committee report by a vote of "A to IS: 1itiI \ J. w. Alexander, Louis Fitzgerald, Chauncey M. Depew, H. c. Denning, Cornelius N. Bliss, Thomas D. Jordan, Charles s. Smith, V. F. Snyder, Alvin w. Krech, William Alexander, John J. McCook, James B.

Haarstick, David H. Moffat, Joseph II. Lewis. The meeting to-day was called for eleven o'clock, prior to which hour there were protracted conferences in the office occupied by the Prick com mittee. Among those who conferred with MT. Hyde were Senator Depew, Samuel Untermyer, George Gould, A w. Krech, w. c. Gulliver, Winslow S. Pierce, H. c. Haarstick, John H. Mc- Cook, Bradish Johnson, D. M. Moffat, H. R. Winthrop, William H. Mcintyre and C. B. Alexander.
 Melville D. Ingalls, of the Prick corn- mittee, who called at the office of B. Hs Hartman just before the meeting be- san said in reply to the inquiry what would probably be done:
 Il expect a hot old time.''
 I It was declared by interests friendly l to MT. Hyde that strong efforts wound be made at the meeting to defeat the Ireport of the Brick committee, and withhold it from publication. and that President Alexander and his friends l had joined forces with MT. HHyde in supporting this course.
 The directors remained in session for several hours, the time being taken up with statements by President Alexan- der and Vive-Preside Hyde, both of whom opposed the adoption of the Prick committees report, as shall be 1 satisfactory to him and to the board. | 7ss One Hundred Killed Inv I1artI,o.aIr.
