DELAY ON MERGER
THOUGHT PROBABLE
Hearings Likely to Go Over
Several Weeks Due to
Conferences.

Hearings before the Public Utilities
Commission on the Harley p. Wilson
merger plan probably will be delayed
Tor several weeks and possibly longer
as a result of conferences which the
author has entered into with officials
and stockholders of the Capital Trac-
ton and Washington Railway &
Electric Cos
Mr.. Wilson had fully expected to
have the final draft of his plan be-
fore the commission before this time.
However. because of the complaint
of John H. Hanna. president of the
Capital Traction Co, that the boards
of directors and the owners of the
street railway lines had not been CON
suited about the plan. Mr.. Wilson
has set out to discuss the details with
them.
Conferences Already Started.
Conferences with the officials of the
traction companies already have been
started, and when these are concluded
Mr. Wilson proposes to discuss the
plan with the stockholders. These
negotiations probably will lead to a
modification of general outline of the
plan. which has now been officially
before the commission since Octo-
ber 81
The prospective delay in the public
hearings before the commission likely
will prevent any plan of merger which
it ultimately approves reaching the

would be ready for presentation to
