                   HILTON EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR ITT STOCK
                    
              BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., August 29, 1997 - Hilton Ho-
         tels Corporation (NYSE:HLT) today extended its cash tender
         offer for 50.1 percent of the shares of ITT Corporation at 
         its newly amended price of $70 per share.  The offer, which 
         has an expiration date of August 29, is now scheduled to expire 
         at 12 midnight, New York City time on September 29, 1997, unless 
         again extended.  To date, approximately 24.5 million ITT shares 
         have been tendered.  

              Hilton's offer of $70 per share represents a premium of 64
         percent over the closing price of 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 appropriate
         collar provisions.  ITT has approximately 122.7 million
         shares outstanding 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 newly amended
         tender offer are set forth in the offering documents filed 
         August 7 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.
