STILL UNSETTLED
Agents Refuse to Give Bond
and Harhor Board Must
Determine Action

Developments at noon today in the
German refugee merchant steamer
situation were these:
The board of harbor commissioners
was to meet at 1880 this afternoon in
special session to decide whether to
move the Pommern and Setos away
from the territorial wharves at which
they now lie.
On good authority it was learned
this morning that members Of the
board favor making public thereto un-
known changes between territorial Of
ficials and representatives of H. Hack
field & Company, In which the repre-.
sentatives declared there would be no
difficulty about getting bond. Also
Il was stated that the board wants to
know the foundation for assurances
from these same representatives that
no further damage would be done the
No instructions were received this
morning by Harbormaster William R.
Foster concerning the vessels.
Collector of the Port Malcolm A.
Franklin repeated his statement made
earlier in the week that he would not
protest against the board towing the
steamers outside but that he would
not allow armed guards TO be put
aboard the vessels again until instruc-
tions are received from Washington
what to do. He said he has received
no cables since the one Of two weeks
ago directing him to remove the
guards

merchantmen, H. Hackfeld & Co.,
Ltd, acting on an opinion from its at
torneys, Thompson. Milverton & Cath

proposed by the harbor board for in

is as follows:
