MADOO REFUSES
To DENY HE WILL
RUN NEW LINE
By Agreement with Pennsy, Ex-
pected to Manage New York
to Newark Service.

William G. McAdoo, president of the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Com
announcement that his company, rather
than the Pennsylvania railroad, will
operate the new rapid transit line con-
meeting the proposed station at Say
brook place and Centre street with
Cortlandt and Twenty-third streets,
Manhattan, on the ground that the
poject had not as yet been sufficiently
worked out to warrant a statement
from him.
Mr.. McAdoo, however, refused to deny
that the Hudson and Manhattan Com
pany would operate the line when it is
completed. intimating that so far as
Newark IS concerned, rapid transit is
the important thing n the question of
operation is comparatively non-essen-
tial.
1t has been assumed that the new
Newark-New York short line would be
operated in connection with the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, ana that company is, in
deed, to furnish the tracks and the Say
brook place, terminal in Newark. The
McAdoo people furnish the tunnels un-
der the river and the Manhattan ter
minals.
Thus the short line to Newark from
New York is a joint affair, SO far as
trackage and terminals are concerned,
but the operation it now develops is to
be under the supervision of e. 7. Nun
ger. the general superintendent of the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Com
pany.
There will be no rapid transit service
from Market street station. Patrons
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad may
transfer from the trains of that COM
pany to trains of the Hudson and Man
haitian Railroad Company at Harrison
and go to Cortlandt or Twenty-third
street terminals in New York city
under the river. The only direct serv-
ice from Market street station will be
to the new Pennsylvania terminal at
Thirty fourth street, New York city.
The terminal for the new rapid tran
sit lines between this city and New
York will be located at Saybrook place
and Park place as first planned. 1t is
up to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to build a station there accord
Ing - the original understanding, but
the station will be for the Use of Hud-
son and Manhattan trains only. Pas
sengers from all points on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. including Market street
station, this city, If they do not want
to continue to Thirty-fourth street,
New York, may transfer at the Harri-
son station, which is now in course OF
construction, TO the trains of the Hud-
son n Manhattan Railroad, which
will start from Saybrook place and run
to Cortlandt and T~wenty-third street
terminals without change.
While the officials of both railroad
companies decline to be quoted, this is
what a mar who is in close touch with
the situation had to say :
The cars to be used in the Newark
to New York service will all bear the
name of the Hudson and Manhattan
Company. That company will control
and operate the lines, the employees
all being under its direction. The. Nc
Adoo interests will use the same type
of steel car that has proven such a sue
cess in the present tunnel service.
1.-Two thousand men are rushing
work on the Hudson and Manhattan's
tunnel through Jersey City Heights to
the point at Summit avenue where the
tracks are to connect with those of
the Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania
Railroad is to provide tracks from
there to Newark for the rapid transit
trains.
when the Pennsylvania starts its
uptown service to the new terminal in
Thirty-fourth street, New York city,
the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
will take over its present main line
tracks from Summit avenue, Jersey
City, to a point where the rapid transit
lines will turn off to reach the proposed
Saybrook place terminal.
THE Pennsylvania will have no-fur-
Their use for the passenger tracks be-
tween Summit avenue, Jersey City, and
Harrison. Every Pennsylvania train
will stop at the big transfer station
that is to be erected in Harrison. Many
trains that do not stop at Market
street on present schedules will stop at
Harrison. The understanding on that
point has been settled by the contract
irg companies.
Some Pennsylvania trains will run
through to Thirty-fourth street from
Market street, hut the real short line
traffic will be over the Hudson and
Manhattan system from Saybrook
place.
There will be competition with the
Public Service Railway and all steam
lines between Newark and New York,
but it will not be a matter of rate cut
ting. The new line will have as its
chief asset speed and high class serv-
ice. with numerous trains.
There has been no break between
the Pennsylvania and the Hud
son and Manhattan. Their rela-
tons are perfectly happy. but the
details of the future arrangement be-
tween the two corporations are yet to
be worked out. There might be some
agreement with the Public Service Cor
poration or sorne other arrangement
made to extend rapid transit service to
West Newark and the outlying dis
tricts Of Essex County"
