Invited to Join Merger, Thought to Be United Motors, Which
 Absorbed New Departure
MUST LIVE UP TO ITS
 PLEDGE TO BUILD HERE


 pective Purchasers-Counter Prop
 osition Is Also Rcjected-Deal Still
 Hangs Fire.
 That the Hartford Auto Parts com of the largest mergers in the country, was the substance of an interview given the Herald this afternoon by James M. Carney, an officer of the company. Rumors connecting the capitol city concern with the recent merger of the New Departure com pany of Bristol into the United Mo- tors company have been prevalent about the city and in stock circles for the past few days. MT Carney, how ever, denied that his concern had en- tered into any deal whereby the plant would be taken by the United Motors company.
 Bankers Asked for Price.
 Several weeks ago, we were ap- preached by a New York banker who asked us to place a. price on our con-  were quoted a price by this banker, which was rejected, and negotiations were continued for the naming of an other price which has not been given as yet We do not know whether this capitalist is working in the interests of the United Motors company"
 In answer to a question by the re- porter as to what effect the sale of h in, r6 tO locating in this city, MT. Carney said, Tt will in no manner effect our re- moval to New Britain
 Prominent members of thegChanT- Der of Commerce were interviewed today in regard to the possibility of a change being made in the company, but little or no concern was manifest ed by them.
 Contract Is Binding.
 E. w. Christ former president of the Chamber of Commerce while admit ting that he was aware of the possi- bility of a change in the company said that the contract with the com pany makes it binding for the re- moval of the plant to this city as agreed upon.
 A Hartford broker while in this city yesterday tipped local investors holding Hartford Auto Parts stock to cling closely to the stock for few days, in anticipation of the reported sale to the United Motors company
 The recent sale of the Bristol con- cern to the merger people has caused a tempest and lively proceedings were anticipated at the meeting of the stockholders in Hartford this after noon.-
 Stock of the United Motors com pany sold yesterday on the curb for GA F to 66 to 65. One report has it that the holders of New Departure stock received $350 a share for half theeir stock, while for the other half, stock in the United Motors was given The report, however is unconfirmed
 Although nothing definite has been learned, it is probable that the stock of the United Motors company will be sold at $62 a share, with between 375,- 900 and 100000 syndicate shares on the market.
 The United Motors will have a cap 1talization of 100000 shares of no par value. Of this 8OO,OOO shares and a cash consideration will be is sued to acquire the New Departure company.
