DENIES IT
MOUTHPIECE OF SHINKLE
SAYS NO SALE HAS
BEEN MADE.
ELECTION OF NEWPORT LIGHT
COMPANY HELD THURSDAY.
DIRECTORS ARE SELECTED.
Business Men Consider Directorate
As a Mere Blind.
George's statements were substantiated by the results of the election of the Newport Light Company, which was held late Thursday, in its office, on York Street, near Eighth. It resulted as follows: President, F. V. cross, Shinkle’s son-in-law; Secretary and Treasurer, James M. Hearn; Directors, J. M. Southgate, W. P. Wilshire, W. H. Harton and W. B. George. The latter succeeds Paris C. Brown, father of the defaulter.
It is claimed in Newport that the whole organization is cut and dried. The directors are said to be nominal directors only. Businessmen do not take any stock in the denial of George. They argue that it is not probable that he would be consulted.
