                      HILTON TERMINATES TENDER OFFER FOR ITT

              BEVERLY HILLS, California, November 13, 1997 -- Hilton
         Hotels Corporation (NYSE:HLT) announced today that it has
         terminated its $80 per share cash tender offer for 65 million
         shares of common stock of ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT).  Hilton
         said that, while the results of the election for directors of
         ITT had not yet been certified, it was clear that the incumbent
         directors of ITT had been reelected.  Hilton terminated the
         offer in accordance with its previous announcements and the
         terms of the offer providing for automatic termination of the
         offer in the event the incumbent directors were reelected.  No
         shares were purchased pursuant to the offer, and any tendered
         shares will be returned promptly.
