who Objects to New Haven's
Invasion Of Board.

BosToN, May 16.-The annual meeting
of the Boston and Maine Railroad stock
holders came to an abrupt halt to-day

would be to restrain the countingSof bal
lots for the election of directors. five of

The petitioner was Edmund j. Cod
man, stockhclder. who said that as
an Individual he had asked the court to
enjoin the New Haven shares from
voting. His bill in equity alleges that
the. proposed action by the New Haven

sachusetts, which prohibits railroad
corporation getting control Of another
not lawfully leased, owned or operated
by it prior to May l, 1907. The New
Haven company. through its subsidiary
the Boston Holding Company, owns 226,-
600 shares of the Boston and Maine
stock.

journed for two weeks. 1t was an
nounced that Judge DE Courcy Oh the

pany placed in nomination as represen-
tatives for the New Haven the names
of Frederick c. Cummings of Concord ;
Charles F. Choa.e, Southboro r. G..
Hutehings, New York; Frank p. Car
penter, Manchester, N. H., and Henry
B. Day. West Newton. The management
of the Boston and Maine presented the
present board for reelection.
Conrad w. Crooker. representing the

tive Association. asserted that "the
genesis of Mr.. Hutchings ought to be
traced" as he was connected with
Pennsylvania Railroad financial inter-
ests, the largest holders of New Haven
stock The stockholders, Mr.. Crooker
said. should be as much opposed to a
Pennsylvania IMAM as to New York
Central man.
