Vice Presidents Remarks on Electrical Engineers Paper at Institute Meeting Were
 Wrongly Interpreted.
MIR. MURRAY 0VER-M0DEST
His Method of Presenting Log of New Haven ElcctritCntion Led to Wrong ConStruc-
 ton.

The statement "Wc are not proud of it. in connection with the electri- fcation of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad between Stam- ford and New York, has given rise to great deal of misunderstanding and false conclusions, The counter statement of Vice President Calvert ToWney has also been mlsinterpretcd as a direct rchuke to Mir.

 In summing up the record of thel identification, he said; We arc not proud of it but we believe that you know some of the obstacles that stoodl in The way of its immediate bettcrt mcnt.
 X fair conclusion to be made hy anyone who understood Mir NurraNs attitude and heard the entire address, is that he very naturally is not proud of his mistakes, but that ho has over, como them and is proud of the result4 IL was very natural that Vice -Prrsis dent ToYncy should take the stana which modcsty forbade for the cngiA noer and say that the road Is proud o1 tho llnc and that it is a success.
