New Haven, Dec. 30.--None of the officials of the New Haven railroad system was here yesterday to com ment on the settlement of the suit of the stockholders of the railroad against the directors for S2,500, 900, but Judge A. Heaton Robertson, prominent director of the railroad, confirmed the statement He said that he was rather surprised at the outcome of the suit because he had not believed that the directors wouI settle He said that the sum secured through the settlement would go into the treasury of the railroad and would be used for running expenses. | The restitution suit begun in 1916 by minority stockholders of the rail- road against certain directors to re- lost to it as a result of alleged mis- management on the part of the di- rectors, was settled yesterday by a compromise agreement, and with the approval of Judge Charles M. Hough of the United States District Court in New York.
 According to the agreement the di- rectors are to pay to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Company the sum of $2.500,00O. minus $S33, ,333.33, which the court awarded as fees to be paid complainants' counsel.
 The complainants were Edwin Adams Mott, Julius c. Morse. George c. Fisk James F. Ray and Mary M. Clark. Their suit was based on the findings of the governments dissolu- ton suit against the railroad com pany. It alleged waste and misman- agement on the part of certain direc- tors of the company, which resulted in the depreciation of their holdings to the extent of $150, 100000.
 In a memorandum accompanying the discontinuance papers Judge Hough said
 "The compromise of suits and ac- tions is generally a matter private be- tween the parties, and the only req son known to me fu submitting this settlement to the court is the unusual fact that it consists in the payment by one set of defendants to another defendant of a large sum of money in consideration of general re- lease.
