ATLANTIC CITY HOTEL
CREDITORS in CLASH
Decision on St. Charles Trus.
tee Held Up by Technically.
Extravaganza Charged
Atlantic CITY, June Is.

Allegations of eXtraNagant salaries
and rnisi1a ma cement entered into clash
of factions of claimants and their at
torneys in the hearing before Clarence
l.. Cole. referee in bankruptcy. over the
selection Of a trustee for the creditors
Of the Newlin IIaines Company. owner
Of the sSOO.O 900 Hotel st. Charles.
The company. which expended $3.50
200 about a year ago in building an i'm
posing front for the big Boardwalk hos
telry. was forced into a receivershp
several weeks ago through the action OF
New York creditors. The United States
District Court appointed Edward f..
Grosscup. state purchasing agent for
New Jersey, formerly chairman of the
Democratic state Committee, as re-
ceiver The outstanding claims of cred
itors, exclusive of mortgages, aggregate
close to s1sO,O0O.
The fight now hinges upon the aucs-
ton of whether Mr. Grosscup or Henry
w. Leeds. a hotelman- banker, of this
city. should he trustee for the creditors
the New York faction favoring Gross
cup while Philadelphians joined with
the Atlantic City creditors in advocating
, Leeds. The latter is president of the
Chalfonte Hotel Company and senior
member OF the firm of Leeds & Lippln-
! colt. owners of Haddon Hail.
on a test vote l12 creditors. with
claims of $4,000. voted for Leeds.
/ while seVenty-seven others. with claims
of 1000. favored GrossCup. When the
/ result was announced William Bilder,
I Of Newark, attorney for the minority
/ faction of creditors, raised the point
that the claims of eighty of the creditors
| of the majority faction were irregular
I because they had included proof OF
claim and power of attorney in the
same instrument. He insisted that
Judges Haight and Rellstab had so ruled
in the United States District Court IN
reCeivership proceedings. Referee Cole
demanded further proof.
Bilder charged that the Haines Com
pauy had forced the receiNership pro-
ceedings by assigning sll1,O00 in com
pany bonds to preferred creditors, as
serting that Mrs. Newlin Haines. wife
I of the president Of the company. re-
ceived $50, 900 in collateral for claim
Of $4,000. and that her aunt, Mrs JEFF
fries. received $4,000. He maintained
also that when Haines transferred the
hotel property to the Newlin Haines
Company he received 100000 in com
mon stock and 100000 in preferred
stock. putting in his good will at
$3.50 600. Haines then. he charged, dis
posed of his preferred stock TO the COM
pany. He said Haines had disposed of
all but $2400 of his preferred holdings
