CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 19.-victory in
the Illinois Central contest still hung in
the balance today. When the proxy COM
mittee convened this morning various
members OF both the Hartman and Fish
factions asserted that the developments of
yesterday were in their favor, but neither
would give definite figures to substantiate
their statements. The best informal ton
obtainable was that, exclusive of the en-
joined votes, neither side has 10000 votes
advantage.
There was thought to be a possibility
that the proxy committee would complete
its labors today, and If so the result will
be announced to the stockholders, who are
to meet again at 2:3O o'clock, this after
noon. The general belief, however, is
that more time will be required, and in
that event another adjournment will prob
ably be taken until Monday, and it is
probable that even then the proxy COM
mttee will be unable to make its report
The bitterest contest will not come until
near the end. Thus far the only votes
proxies to which no objection could be
found, and yet the committee, after labor
ing two days and half, has reached only
those stockholders whose names begin
with the letter NJ. Lists beginning with
the thirteen other letters are to be can
vassed and then will come the tug of war
on the disputed votes.
Stock Eeld Abroad.
No figures showing the canvass for the
entire day were given out at the adjourn
ment of the committee yesterday. but it is
understood that inclusive Of the letter
F. the canvass showed a total Of 174,OO0
votes. OF this number 2sOsO are enjoined
In the injunction covering the 2s8, 731
shares held by the Union Pacific and the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York
This leaves 145,O0O that will figure in
the result, and the Fish people claim a
majority of 16 per cent, or $4,000. The
combined vote by letter to that point was
A, 25, 600; B, 10000; C, 26,OOO; D, 1900; E,
Is, 600: F, $1,000.
According to a report emanating from
the Fish camp the revocations at the end
of the G canvass showed a gain of seven
to one against Hartman. This was de-
MED by the Hartman supporters.
Some of the heaviest lists yet to be cam
vassed are: M, 500 stockholders; P, 400
r, 45O; S, Co., 7, 275 and w, 500.
Besides these there are about l., 500 for
eign stockholders, whose names have been
alphabetically arranged in a separate list.
The amount of stock held abroad Is
167, 600 shares, against 1885, in this
country.
