NO MOVE TO AVOID SUIT.
New Haven Directors Apprise Nc
Reynolds of Rejection of Conditions.

WAsHINGToN, July l7.--Attorney- Gen
eral McReynolds received formal com
municatlon to-day from the directors OF
the New Haven road informing him of
their action yesterday In rejecting the
conditions placed by the, Massachusetts
Legislature upon the sale of the Boston
and Maine stock.
The letter from the directors made no
mention OF any contemplated negotiations
designed to stave of suit under the
sherman act which the Department OF
Justice will file soon unless the road as
sents to the reorganization plan formu-
lated by the Government.
1t was learned upon the highest author
ny to-day that the Department of Justice
knows nothing OF any plan which the New
Haven management may have In mind for
further neRotig IONS looking toward
peaceful reorganization. This disclosure
caused surprise here because OF the strong
intimation given in New York yesterday
that such plan was under consideration
1t was learned. however. that the De-
partment not only has not heard of any
new Ideas which ghe Now Haven manage
ment may have evolved, but that II has
no reason to expect the submission of any
new propositions which will avoid the sui,
suggestion which had been made was
that the New Haven management would
propose 10 carry out all the provisions Of
the reorganization plan except that which
calls Tor It's dissolution from the Boston

suit be held up pending further negotia-
tons with regard 10 the Boston and Maine
