The conference for this afternoon was arranged
through letters and kilograms which Mr.. Baker
sent TO Mr.. Olney in Boston and by means Of
telephone conversation with Mr.. Untermyer. Mr.

10 this city to-day in the hope Of agreement to
nave his association work IN harmony with Mr..

Mr.. Olney's committee will have meeting to-day
TO talk over OF men to be placed on the pol
icyholders' ticket Mr. Untermyer yesterday made
fresh demand on Mr.. Peabody for a copy OF the
Mutual Lies stencil lists OF policyholders The
international policyholders' committee has been
unable to reach with its circulars large number of
the policyholders OF the Mutual Life because the
addresses in the lists fled by the company were
defective. 1t is known that the company's stencil
lists have the correct addresses Of all the policy
holders
There has been something Of a mystery in the
ability of Mr.. Bakers association to reach the
Mutual Life policyhoders, but Mr. Hanson,
ganizaton manager Of the association said yester-
day that the list of policyholders had been supplied
by the Trow Directory people with the consent Of
Mr.. Peabody Demands had been made for months
On OIlCialS or the MUTUAL Lie copy OI AtS
lists Mr.. Hanson said. and the officials had refused
to supply any copy. Then it was ascertained that
the Trow company had made six copies Of the lists
for the Mutual Life. and also seventh copy for its
protection. Negotiations to have the TFow
company make an additional copy for the Mutual
Life Policyholders' Association were in progress
weeks before Mr.. Peabody would give his
consent. The seventh copy was returned to the
TrQw company for such purpose, Mr.. Hanson said,
and the Trow company employed by the asso-
citation address all the envelopes used in sending
circulars to the pOlicyhOlders.
Asked yesterday how the association was able to
bear the expense of sending out circulars Mr..
Hanson said some wealthy policyholders in the as
ditional subscriptions might be made later, he said

is in part as follows:
Unless the poIicyhoIders are willing tamely 70
submit TO continued misuse Of their properly, an
independent policyholders' ticket must pc hOn-
