President Hustis of the Boston and Maine railroad denied last night the report that the directors and the committee for leased line interests are seriously split over the reorganization plans.
In a closing statement the Boston and Maine executive committee leader Hustis said the leased lines group led by Richard Olney works to avoid receivership and that no friction exists with directors. He dismissed reports that reorganizing may be unnecessary due to improving net earnings and outlined the needed credit restoration and New Hampshire legislation to secure a plan.

The New Hampshire actions hinge on leased lines agreement, with no vote yet and no split in the committee.
