 AT ODDS WITH MORGAN

Cincinnati, O., July 3o.-Accordlng to information given by Governor Judson Harmon, the plan of ]. P. Morgan for the reorganization of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway Com pany and It's merger with the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad IS not being indorsed by some of the creditors of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton.
 Governor Harmon. who is receiver for the latter road. today gave the As- sociated Press the following statement:
 'Tn view of the misapprehension which seems to prevail and In reply to the many inquiries l get. the facts about the organization of the Cin- cinnati. Hamilton and RAyton Railway should be stated.
 "The court order recently made merely authorizes the receiver to turn over possession Of the property on cer- tain conditions, but this cannot be done until the plan of reorganization, which Is proposed, receives the consent of se- cured and other creditors. as well as that of the stockholders. The latter will act at the meeting to be held Au- gust 10. but their consent will be ip- effective without the consent of credt- tors These, am advised, have iarge- ly been given. but not to the extent necessary to make the plan operative. The cash requirements are tuo great to be met except under the plan submitted. Whether there Is to be reorganization or a foreclosure. depends on the giving or withholding of these consents within short time.
 q uoEht, perhaps. to say that I have no interest whatever lh the property or fin the plan. My onlywlsh fs to have all for whom I have been trustee, pro- tected so far as the situation permits, and to be myself relieved of further du- ties."
