NEW TRIAL POSSIBLE
Over Right Of N. ", N. n. 4 H. t
Own TrolIeys In Connecticut.

! New Haven, CT, May 13.-Inquiry in
| railroad circles here in regard to the
decision of the supreme court Of Mas
sachusetts against the holding of the
trofleys in the state by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.,
shows that the attitude Of the New
Haven corporation is likely to depend
upon the form of the decree against it.
The decision of the court ordered a de-
cree in favor of the informant, the at
torney general of the state, who now
must apply for it to a single justice.
The decree in it's form may rise an
important question or number OF
questions and may result consequent
ly in d new trial of the case. The posi-
ton of the New Haven Co., is there
fore passive one and it cannot pro-
coed until the decree is made and in a
legal sense fully digested. ....,..
While no official information is CIV
ell out the impression prevails strong
ly in the New Haven road offices that
the company will adopt a pacific pol
ic:, and seek results which while con-
cessive to the state of Massachusetts,
viii not involve the absolute giving
up of the trolleys or Of the Boston &
Maine shares.
There is evidently, however some
disposition on the part of the railroad
Company, unless compromise can be
arranged, to appeal the whole subject
to the federal courts for the purpose
OF DISCRIMINATING the relative jurisdic-
ton over the matter of the states Of
Connecticut and Massachusetts, in
which the New Haven is chartered.
