It Is believed that, neither the Harriman - nor Hill forces have mioeeeded In gaining a Arm seat In the saddle, and that the affairs of the company are being adminis tered by the directors with compara tive freedom from domination by the rival Interests. According to the finan cial plana now 'announced by the di rectory, mere win oe orrerea to eioc. holders of record December II. ISt.117,- 000 of preferred and $11,111,740 of com mon, being a 10 per cent increase of the preeent laaue of preferred and i per cent of the preeent issue of common. The object of the new issue la to cover estimated cost of 178,000.000 for the coast line and 100 miles of branches. and t25.000.000 for contingencies. Vnrposea Involved. 7- The contest between Hill and Harri man railroad interests la. to secure possession of the bulk of this new stock, and with it control of the di rectory, through which could be dic tated the ultimate route of the main line to the coast and the building of branch tinea into, the territory of the riva,l rallroa4'. systems. It Is generally understood that ahould Hill gain eontrol the fit. 'Paul's main line would be so altered that In crossing Montana, Idaho and Waahlngton H would be thrown- further south Into the Columbia rivet basin, and possibly become. an append age of the north bank line of the Nortji. ern Paclflo and Great Northern entering Portland. Bhould control finally remain with the Harriman crowd, the St. Paul would be .-.constructed according to Ita preeent surveys through thoee states, and competition against the Union Pa clflo system kept down tof the mini mum. .. --" ' '' .

' ' "V ' A member of the firm stated to The Journal's New Tors; correspondent that appeal would be made In the special term of the supreme court today, citing the Chicago, Milwaukee as St. Paul company to show cause why It ahould not conform to the - request of the shareholders to permit purchsse of frac tional shares. It Is expected that a deolston on the point will not be handed down until Tueaday or Wedneaday, and upon the nature- of this decision will depend the subsequent sctton, - It It Is favorable a petition will be made for an Injunction to. reatratn the company from proceeding further with the new stock issue and the caae will be fought out In the sourts on ita merits, nnlees some settlement -is offered by the railroad. , It Is said Meaars.
