DIRECTORATE OF NEW HAVEN ROAD MAY
 NOT EXCEED 15

New Haven, March 2s-Under the call for a meeting Of the stockholders of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Company. issued yester- day, to act upon the agreement of the directors with the attorney general of the United States to place it's subsi- diary holdings in the hands Of trus- tees, the proposition is also made that the directors consist of not less than fifteen nor more than twenty-three. The present limitation is twenty-seven, although four recent resignations from the board leaves the actual membe ship twenty-three.
 Under the proposed anendm ent there would not necessarily be any resignations of directors, while, if any did retire, or vacancies were ere ated by death, it would not be urgent upon the stockholders to elect others if the mem bership was fifteen. It is thought that when the New Haven road divests itself of it's subsidiaries the directorates will be fifteen mem bers or less of whom a, majority, as at present, must be residents of Con- necticut
 The meeting will be held at liar nonfe Hall, Elm street, New Haven, April 21 at noon.
