Charles S. Mellen acknowledges that the stock of The New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Company has shrunk tremendously, but notes that all railroad stocks have fallen and all railroad corporations are subject to attacks from the government. Mellen cannot guarantee what is going to happen but there is nothing to “warrant apprehension regarding the dividends.” Connecticut Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley assures Mellen that as long as he is an honest man he is in no danger of going behind bars, though Mellen notes that determining if a man is honest depends on one’s point of view.

Minutes of the May 10, 1916, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Progressive National Committee. A statement was issued to the Press affirming the Committee’s January 1916 proposal that Progressives and Republicans unite behind a leader who could unseat President Woodrow Wilson and who would respond more forcefully in world affairs. The statement noted that many Republicans and independents had responded favorably to the proposal, but the Republican Leadership had not seemed to take up the call. The Committee pledged the Party’s willingness to cooperate and stated that should the effort fail, responsibility for the failure would rest “on other shoulders than ours.”
