                HILTON EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR ITT STOCK; 
                  FILES APPEAL ON ITT ANNUAL MEETING DATE

              Beverly Hills, California, April 24, 1997 -- Hilton Ho-
         tels Corporation (NYSE:HLT) today extended its cash tender
         offer for 50.1 percent of the shares of ITT at $55 per share.
         The offer, which had an expiration date of April 25, is now
         scheduled to expire at 12 midnight, New York City time, on
         May 30, 1997, unless again extended.  To date, approximately
         1.5 million ITT shares have been tendered.  

              Hilton's offer of $55 per share represents a premium 29 
         percent over the closing price for ITT's stock on January
         27, the day Hilton announced its bid to acquire ITT.  Follow-
         ing completion of the tender offer, Hilton intends to consum-
         mate a merger in which all remaining ITT shares would be ex-
         changed for Hilton stock at $55 per ITT share, subject to
         appropriate collar provisions.  ITT has approximately 122.7
         million shares on a fully diluted basis, giving the transac-
         tion a total net equity value of approximately $6.5 billion.

              The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer
         are set forth in the offering documents filed January 31 with
         the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Donaldson, Lufkin &
         Jenrette Securities Corporation is acting as Dealer Manager
         for the offer and MacKenzie Partners, Inc., is acting as In-
         formation Agent.  

              Separately, with regard to the decision by the United
         States District Court for the District of Nevada denying
         Hilton's motion requiring ITT to hold its annual meeting in
         May, Hilton said today that it has filed an appeal with the
         United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as well
         as a motion for expedited treatment of that appeal.<PAGE>
