l New York, July 26.-There was a
 meeting of the board of trustees of
 the Mutual Life Insurance Go yester-
 day in which it is understood several
 members took occasion to declare the course which had been pursued by
 the board in nominating four mem bers of the international policy hold l ers' committee on the administration
 ticket to be inadvisable, to say the least.
 This expression from the trustees followed the reading of protest | filed with the board in behalf of the policy holders committee, in which | 1t was demanded that the board re- lpudiate the action of the officers of the company in spending thousands of dollars in compiling lists of policy holders declared to be inaccurate for the purpose of misleading the com mittee and preventing it from reach Ii ing those policy holders who might
 wish to have change fro mhte pres ent regime.
 Charles A. Peabody, president of the company, would not be inter- viewed after the meeting, sending word that there was nothing to be said.
 The international policyholders'
 committee secured an order from Jus
 tice Blanchard in the supreme court
 directing the state superintendent of tvxc ch na, uyhU fhn

 by the Mutual Life Insurance com
 pany. The order is returnable at AL
 bany on Saturday, at which time
 samuel Untermyer, attorney for the
 international policyholders' commit
 tee, will argue the case in the com-
 mittee's behalf.
