July 18. The New Haven Railroad case assumed a new aspect today, when It became known here that the State of Massachusetts may seek to intervene after the Gov ernment's Sherman Law suit to dis solve the system Is brought and ask the courts to force the New HaveA to make a conditional sale of its Boston and Maine stock. Masachusetts now has the right to buy the stock at any time. In recent legislation it pre served that right and gave permission to the New Haven to sell. The New Haven board of directors refused to accept that legislation and now Massachusetts Is understood to be fearful lest that right be endangered In the proposed litigation.

It is feared that if the Government wins its case, the court might merely or der tje sale of the New Haven's Boston and Maine stock without restrictions. If Massachusetts intervened it would be merely for the purpose of preserving Its right of purchase. Attorney General McReynolds, it is believed, will not object. 14 DIE III HEAT Intense Humidity in the East Claims Many Lives; Scores Prostrated. NEW YORK, July 18.
