DIRECTORS FLEE FROM FIGHT
Suddenly Remember Other Engage
ments When Fish Swats Harahan.
Statement Which Caused Row at HI
inOis Central Meeting Not
Made Public.

New York. Aug. 29-Stuyvesant Fish
late this afternoon said that he had de-
cided not TO make public at present the
statement he was reading at the meeting
of the board Of directors OF the Illinois
Central Railroad. when the fight between
him and President Harahan took place
However" he added, there is more
than one way of skinning a skunk"
The resolutions, Il was intimated. would
be presented at the annual meeting OF
the Illinois Central stockholders. A copy
of them is in the hands OF one of tho
Illinois Central officials, who IS under Mr.
Harriman's influence. II is not expected
that they viii be divulged from thi.
source, but there are reasons to believe
that the stockholders will be Informed
of the substance OF them before the an.
nual meeting.
It became known to-day that not only
Robert ". Goelet, but also Charles A.
Peabody and Walther Luttgen left the
board meeting at about the time Mr.
Harahan indiscreetly attacked Mr. Fish:
veracity. They had business at another
board meeting, 1t was explained, and also
had no desire to remain as witnesses OF
the hostilities.
Mr.. Fish's statement, 1t was said on
the authority Of one of the Hartman
directors. contained much more than a
charge that the road was being conducted
in the interests OF the Hartman lines
rather than in that of the Illinois Centra
stockholders. Among these other charges
are accusations affecting the financial
management Of the company in other
ways.

marks Of violence as a result of the mix
up with Mr.. Fish. On being questioned
Mr.. Harahan gave out the following
statement.
My duty and my honor will not allow
me to discuss matters of occurrence con-
sidered or taking place at the meeting of
the directors; nor viii my dignity permit
me to publicly discuss personal matters
further than to deny the reports which
undoubtedly emanated from the same
source as the reports appearing in to-
days papers. and which have been fire.
quently published, to the effect that the
friendship which existed between Mr..
Fish and myself was broken just prior
to my election as president in November,
1906. The fact is, Mr. Fish's actions had
severed that friendship several years
prior to that time"

sent 20 Acting Secretary OF the Navy Tru-
man II. Newberry. at Washington, a re-
quest for official information regarding
the rumored transfer OF the old frigate
Constitution from the Boston Navy Yard
to Annapolis, and at the same time has
urged that such plan be hastily abandon
ed. The governors letter reads as fellows:
Massachusetts deserves not merely
fair play, but especially favorable treat
ment by the national government in all
matters connected with the navy, The
flag that flew from the first American
fleet commissioned by George Washing
ton was the flag OF Massachusetts. The
crews were volunteers Cape Ann and
Cape Cod have literally poured their sons
into the service Of the United States at
sea from the very beginning.
Boston Leads in Recruits.
IT think you win find. also. that It Is
still true. as It certainly was very re-
Gently. that Boston. though not the
largest city In the country, contributes
more recruits 10 the navy than any other
city in the United States.
In the civil war. you will remember,
20 per cent Of all the officers in the loyal
navy came from this single Common
wealth, This Commonwealth also was
the first to organize a volunteer naval
brigade. now of high efficiency. Although
the rendezvous was Philadelphia, I have
further 10 call your attention 10 the fact
that the Massachusetts naval brigade, in
the time Of the Spanish-American war. re-
ported there twenty-four hours IN ad-
vance of any other State.
Hundreds Visit ship Daily.
Il feel quite sure that a movement that
would be so bitterly resented by our peo-
pie is not even contemplated by the de-
partment. but ! shall be very glad If
you could simply send me, for the sat
tsfsction Of the public, this simple un-
qualified statement"
The department. it is said. has no in
tention of removing the Constitution
from Boston SO far as the statement.
reported TO have been made in Washing
tor and Annapolis, that the Constitution
lies unnoticed and neglected in Charles
town is concerned, the registration Of
