To the mans horror, the king puts two black stones into his hat, out of the view of the guards. How does the man get out of it?
This line indicates that the king hid the stones and hat from the guards, not from the man. So the man could simply look in and take the right coloured stone.

You are right BE, but you have failed to realise that the king has put in 2 BLACK stones. Its physicaly ipossible for him to take a WHITE one.....silly BE 
Edit = Oviously the man cant look into the hat (peices of this riddle are coming back to me slowly) |
