M mo definite conclusions were
reached and no commitments were maze
" either side, but It is thought that the
difference was helpful TO the government

slout a solution Of a dtf1cult situation
With the least possible disturbance TO New

ETY."
attorney General McReynolds is I'M
pNss.d BY the apparent sincerity OF
President Elliott and his associates, ana
t.,s no. believe that they are triiing with
he government. With this belief he is dis-
posed to give Mr.. Elliott ample time to
work out his plan for dissolution.
