Road Must Submit to Government's Terms Today or Face Action Under Trust Act.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETS TO DETERMINE UPON PLANS

Indicated Recently That Legal Fight Would be Preferred to Submission to Terms of Bay

State Law.

NEW YORK, July 16.—The threat ened suit under the Sherman law, the report of the Interstate commerce commission and the bill passed by the Massachusetts legislature, permitting the sale of Its Boston & Maine stock, with the provision that each certificate bear a stipulation that the purchaser agree to sell it to the state of Massachusetts at any time, are the chief questions up for consideration today before the meeting of the board of directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.

Upon the action of the board, rests, in all probability, the attitude of the department of justice with the reference to the filing of a dissolution suit, papers for which have been held In abeyance for several weeks by an agreement providing the sale of the Boston & Maine stock control. On' June 25 the board of directors adopted resolutions and issued a statement to the stockholders in which it was declared that it would be better to let the Sherman law prosecution proceed rather than to submit to the terms of the Massachusetts law, which, it was said would make the Boston & Maine stock unsaleable on a fair basis.

Attorney-General McReynolds took the ground that objection to the Massachusetts law was not sufficient basis for the New Haven to carry out its agreement for a partial dissolution and intimated thai he would file suit under the Sherman law if the directors persisted in the stand they had taken. He gave the board until today, it Is stated, to file with the department of justice a report showing that all steps had been taken to carry out the terms of the agreement, including provisions for the naming of trustees for the sale of the Boston A Maine stock.

committee had no such Intention. Mr Oglesby did not say whether Mr. War burg had changed his determination not to appear.

Failure of the senate to confirm Jones and Paul M. Warburg as mem bers of the federal reserve board within the next week, may lead to complications which will seriously inter fere with the final preparations for launching the new banking system The currency act speaks of the re serve board as a whole and bestows no powers on different individuals on that board.

The question has been raised whether the members of the board confirmed by the senate have authority to go ahead with the work of setting the bank machinery in motion or whether they must wait for the confirmation of the other two members, It has been the opinion in some quarters that if the three members who are confirmed act in concert with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams, there can be little question of the legality of their decisions. In support of this position it was pointed out that concrete action by these five men would prevail If the other two members of the board were actually In office and could be approved If deemed necessary after the two yet to be confirmed have received senate approval.

The question will become one of pressing importance next week. By that time It is expected that the election of directors of classes A and of the federal reserve banks will have been made and the next step will be the selection by the reserve board of directors of class and the actual opening of these twelve institutions for business.

Although no settlement of the question has been reached It to believed •he department will take the view that It ie better to go ahead with the five members than to postpone the opening of the reserve banks.

SEE WILSON VICTORY IN HUERTA'S REMOVAL

English Newspapers Predict, However, That There Will be Other Problems Just as Difficult.

LONDON, July 16.—General Huerta's resignation as ^president at Mexloo Is regarded as a victory for President Wilson's policy and Is welcomed by the British public and in official circles here as a possible solution of the Mexican problem. A peaceful end to the complex situation is greatly desired here on account of the large British financial interests In the country.

Most of the London newspapers, however, express doubt as to whether conditions will be better under Venustiano Carranza than when General Huerta was in power in Mexico City.

The Fall Mall Gazette points out that If Carbajal, the new provisional president, surrenders to Gen. Carranza as he is expected to do "It may boon be possible to exact reparation from Gen. Villa for the murder at Juarez of William S. Benton, the Scottish ranchman."

The Evening Standard says The Washington administration has won a diplomatic victory. President Wilson has been persistent and patient in his policy of non-recognition of Gen. Huerta, but it is likely enough that power will be met now by other obstacles just as hard to surmount as was Gen. Huerta's obstinacy."
