WEATHER CONDITIONS
 PREVENT YACHT RACES.
An Effort Will be Made to Give Yachts
 Contest Today.

Newport, R. l., July 17-Too much fog again prevented what might have been today the best race of the cup de- lenders Defiance, Resolute and Vani- tie up to the present time. An effort will be made to give the yachts a contest tomorrow when the series will end
 After the experience of yesterday when the weather cleared within an hour after the race was called off, the committee waited until noon today be- fore making any effort to leave the harbor. The fog appeared about to lift so the committee boat, the steam yacht Alberta, started out followed by the Resolute and Vanitie under sail and the Defiance in tow.
 It was the intention of the commit tee to start the yachts at the light ship and send them to Point Judith whistling buoy. seven miles to wind ward and return possibly sailing the course twice if the weather permitted.
 The fleet of boats, cup defenders, steam yachts, tenders and tugs had just cleared Fort Adams when the fog shut in as thick as swansdown. The Defiance hurried back to her an- chorage and the others followed i'm mediately, while the committee re- Instantly called of hosti1ities for the day The fog held fast for the re- mainder of the day, but clearing weather IS promised TOT tomorrow.
 Never before have the cup class yachts met with such adverse condi- tions on their trial races as have pre- vailed for more than a week. In the July series eleven years ago when the Reliance was being tried out against the Constitution and Columbia not race was postponed or called of for fog or lack of wind, while four contests were sailed on successive days in the finest of racing weather.

RESTITUTION SUIT BY
 MINORITY STOCKHOLDERS
Ask for Restoration of s1o2, 100000 H. legally Used in Building Up the New Haen System.

Boston July 17-A restitution suit whereby minority stockholders seek to compel former and present directors to restore to the treasury of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Company approximately $102,- Ooo, 900 alleged to have been allegally used in building up the system, was begun in the supreme court today.
 Judge Braley, before whom the ac- ton was brought, issued an order or notice, returna ble next Friday, to show cause why a receiver, special master or other official should not be appoint ed in acordance with the bill of com- plaint.
 The plaintiffs, who are trustees of the late Ole Bull Vaughn's estate and own fifty shares of the capital stock, asked for a receiver to take possession of all claims in favor of the defendants, but not to interfere with the admin istratibn of the current affairs of the New Haven company. They asked al- so that shares of capital stock held by the defendants be not disturbed ex- cept by! order of the court and that they later be applied to the payment of any court decree that might be iss sued.
 The suit is against the corporation and the directors in office from 1904 to 1909. John L. Billiard, who is said to have derived a profit of two million from transactions with the company, was not made a defendant because he was not director during that period.
 The complaint alleges that losses resulting from the acquisition of the Boston and Maine. trolley and steam ship properties by the New Haven amounted to $102,O0O, 900 and that under the federal antitrust act, the New Haven company is entitled to recover from | the defendants three times that suhn, or s306,000. 900.

NEW. YORK CENTRAL
 FILES ANSWER TO SUIT.
Brought by New York and Harlem Co. Stockholders to Restrain Con soiidation.

New York, July 1.-The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company filed it's answer today to the suit brought by stockholders of the New York and Harlem Railroad com pary to restrain the consolidation Of the two companies
 The defendant company admits In It's answer that the lease of the Harlem road provided for a payment of eight per cent dividends Sn its stock and that the holders of the stock had not, by the lease or a subsequent con- tract waived their right of voting for Harlem directors who might promote a lawful consolidation with another railroad.
 A disposition to unite at some fu- ture time the properties and fran chises of the two railroads is not de- nied by the New York Central Under the present lease it further admits, there are terms and conditions for the breach of which a right of forfeiture or re-entry might arise and the pro jected consolidation would extinguish the lease.
 But, after pointing out that 1t has expended millions Of dollars upon the Harlem property in pursuance of what it calls just and prudent policy, the New York Central concludes that the demand for forfeiture or termina- ton of the lease is contrary to equity and that no restriction should be put on the exercise of its rights incident to its holding of the capital stock of the Harlem road
 A dismissal of the complaint with costs is asked of the court

 Law Suit Next Week
McREYNoLDs WILL FIRST CONFER WITH WILSON
Negotiations Between the New Haven Railroad and the De partment of Justice to Effect Peaceful Dissolution Have ed-Rairoad Not Expected to Offer Any Great Resistance to Suit Action Will Probably be Pressed to Conclusion Rapidly Possible

Washington, July 17--Negoflations between the New Haven railroad and the Department of Justice to effect a peaceful solution of that system ap- parentfy came to an end today and un- less there are unforeseen developments, the government will file it's Sherman law suit to force dissolution next week The bill against the New Hav- en virtually is complete and finishing touches will be put upon it stnmedi- ateiy Before it is filed Attorney Gen eral McReynolds will confer with President Wilson, lay the whole New Haven case before him and ask for presidential approval
 Loath to Bring Case Into Court.
 MT. McReynolds is understood to be loath to take the case into court, but to feel that there is no other solution of the problem of untangling the New Haven. His ears are not closed to further negotiations with railroad of hcials but is was the opinion at the department yesterday that the New Haven has rested its case. Official notice of the action of the directors in New York yesterday refusing to accept conditions laid down in Massa- chusetts for the sale of its Boston and Maine stock came during the day. There was no intimation of any plan for complying with the governments demand that the Boston and Maine BbOCA DS SOIQ dnQ IL was the general feeling that only the conference be- tween the president and the attorney general remains before the filing of the bill.
 New Haven Not to Fight Suit.
 It became known tonight that the New Haven is not expected to offer any great resistance to the suit. u any great resistance to the suit. It might not be fought at all and the New Haven might even go so far as to appear in court, confess judgment and put it up to the court to determine whether dissolution should be order ed This would contribute-to a speedy determination of the case in the dis trict court. So far as the department is concerned, it is understood that when suit is begun it will be pressed to a conclusion as rapidly as possible.
 Scope of the Bill.
 There has been some doubt here as to how far the governments bill may go in asking for a disintergration of the New Haven and its subsidiaries At one time the bill contained a pro- vision asking for the separation from the New Haven of the old New Eng land Railroad which runs from Bos- ton down through WiIlimantic Hart ford and Dunbury Conn, to a point on the New York Central about fifty miles from New York. This read never had direct entrance to New York, but connected at several points along its line with branches of the

Es== Haven shore Line" It was as simulated by the New Haven many years ago and is now considered a vital part of the system. Over the road for many years some of the New Haven's finest trains were run between Boston and New York.
 There was some question as to whether the Sherman act will apply to the New England and it is possible that this feature will be eliminated from the bill. If it is retained and the government should carry the point, the New Haven would be stripped to its Shore Line and a few feeders pro- jecting north into the New England states which it traverses.
