Following prolonged discussion in which former President Rudolph Stern asserted charges fo inefficiency on the part of the present manage ment of the National Marine Lamp Co, the annua Fmeeting of the stock holders yesterday afternoon proved a rout for the Stern forces. President William F. Calder was supported by proxies representing 14,72s shares of stock while all that Mir. stern could muster was 4,sei shares. As a re- suit Of this overwhelming display of confidence in the present adminis- tration, the following board of directors was chosen: II. Geruld- son. Alexander Harper. William A.. Hayes, William r. Calder. Judge Will liam J. Malone, John T. chidsey Charles F. Riley and Arthur N. Man ross. all Of this city, Irving l. Ingra- ham and Philip C. Ripley of Hart ford and Max NJ. Kotzen of New York. William r. Calder was elect cd to succeed himself as president and the other officers were reelected as follows: Secretary. William J.. Malone; treasurer, Hjalmar Geruld- son. The office Of vice president, held for the last year by Mir. Stern, was not filled at the meeting yester- day, but will be taken care Of at a meeting of the directors in the near future.
 With Judge I. Malone presiding in the absence of President William r. Calder, who was in Washington, D. C., on business, the annual meeting open cd at o'clock and continued until 6 o'clock, the greater part of the time being occupied by Mir stern. who explained his difference in onin- ion with the reports of the present management and declared that he could not reconcile accounts on file with status which he found the company In.
 The reports of the concern showed the company in fine condition and making money. This Mir. stern could not see. as he believed a different state of affairs existed. In the course of his remarks, he asked that his name bo taken off some si0,0o0 in notes of the National Marine Lamp 70. He was told that the removal of his endorsement was a matter be- tween himself and the banks.
 After discussing the situation of the company. Mir. stern asked that the stockholders consider a list of direct. OTIS for the concern as prepared by himself as follows: F. Stern. Arthur N. Monross. ]. kclinberger. IT. Ger uldson, William r. Calder N. NJ. Kot- zen, Judge Roger s. Newell. William X, Hayes, C. M Bigelow, Charles N. Gordon and Philip c. Ripley. He lost out on this request
 The annual meeting promised 10 be q battle royal, prior to the actual gathering of the stockholders as in the last few weeks the stern interests have sent out statements to the share holders while replies have been made by the management. Judge Malone's diplomatic handling Of the reius again came 10 the front and everything went off very smoothly yesterday.
