Mr.. Croker ate his Christmas turkey yesterday
with his family in his magnificent home, No. 5

called on him found the ex-leader in calm and
undsturbed frame of mind Mr. Croker said that
he had read the interview Of Mr.. Cochran at
Washington in which Mr.. Cochran referred to
Mr. Croker's challenge as such stuff" and
spoke of MIR Crokers statement printed in the
morning newspapers with profound contempt

slider Mr.. Cockran's remarks.a at all In the nature

been making elsewhere If he has anything to
say against me, why, that'is the place to say it,
WAS there anything In the interview with you
this morning printed that vas not correct?
Mr.. Croker asked.
Nothing whatever" he replied; every word
of that interview stands. and there is nothing
to take back"
what you have already said?"
mo. there is nothing further TO say now 1t
may be that later will say something more"
THERE ARE OTHERS"
An evening paper yesterday quoted Mr.. Croker
as saying:
There are Others too--some Of these high

that they cannot where they are going.
Some of them will go over backward"

Other Tammany men have made the same
criticism besides Mr. Croker called out by the
fact proba bly,. that there has been meeting Of
