FISH BACK, BUT MUM
Won't Discuss Contest zCith Harri-
man-Statement by Latter.

Stuyvesant Fish. president of the Illinois Gen.
tral Railroad Company, who returned from Chi
cago on Thursday night at his Office yester-
day, but declined to make any statement con-
earning the controversy between himself and E
H. Hartman which fought out at the
nual meeting Of the stockholders of the company
on Wednesday, or regarding the prospect of his
reelection as president by the board of direct
ors.
Mr.. Hartman yesterday afternoon issued the
following statement:
There was no agreement or understanding
concerning the Illinois Central election between
Messrs Fish Peabody and myself other than
that embodied in our signed agreement 1t was
just because Mr.. Fish and ourselves could not
agree upon the successor to Mr.. Grinnell that we
mutually and squarely agreed to leave the selec-
ton of that successor to a majority of the
directors and that all proxies controlled by all
any of US should be voted for the person SO
selected. That selection made by a majority
Of the board Of directors pursuant to that agree
ment but Mr.. Fish instead selected his own
nominee. II passed the bounds of credulity to
suppose that would give Mr.. Fish the right
to nullify the very agreement we were signing
and TO veto the selection to be made by ma
Jority Of the directors. I am. therefore, not the
only interested IN this matter. suppose the
other gentlemen concerned when they return to
town, will have something to say on the subject
Whether not Mr. Fish would be reelected
70 the presidency was question actively dis
cussed in the financial district yesterday and
the opinion gained ground that the lineup" as
disclosed by the list Of seven directors out of
the whole number Of twelve who signed Mr.
Harrimans demand for the election of Henry W
De Forest successor to the late w. Morton
Grinnell as a member OF the board might not
be maintained when The board met for organiza-
ton. This belief strengthened by the inter
view with Vice President Harahan telegraphed
from Chicago
William Nelson Cromwell, it will be remem-
bered at the annual meeting read statement
that the seven directors referred to had united
in the selection for the vacant dictatorship of
"Mr. Henry w. De Forest. long stockholder of
the company to a substantial amount"
The interesting assertion was published yes
terday that Mr.. De Forest, who was objected 10
by MIR. Fish because Mr.. De Forest is a
director Of the Southern Pacific company, be-
came a stockhoder of the Illinois Central only
fifteen minutes before the closing Of the books
