                      HILTON EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR ITT STOCK

              BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., October 24, 1997 -- Hilton Hotels
         Corporation (NYSE:HLT) today extended its cash tender offer for
         50.1 percent of the shares of ITT at $70 per share.  The offer,
         which had an expiration date of October 24, 1997, is now scheduled
         to expire at 12 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, October
         31, 1997, unless again extended.  To date, approximately 4.1
         million ITT shares have been tendered.  

              Hilton's offer of $70 per share represents a premium of 64
         percent over the closing price for ITT's stock on January 27, the
         day Hilton announced its bid to acquire ITT.  Following completion
         of the tender offer, Hilton intends to consummate a merger in
         which all remaining ITT shares would be exchanged for Hilton stock
         at $70 per ITT share, subject to the recently disclosed collar 
         provisions.  ITT has approximately 122.7 million shares on a fully 
         diluted basis, giving the transaction a total net equity value of
         approximately $8.3 billion.

              The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set
         forth in the offering documents filed August 7, 1997 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 Information Agent.
