among his assailants two men named Holm and
Tufektchiew. the latter of whom had been con-
demned in Turkey to eighteen years imprison-

row, but she quickly recovered and afterward
went TO the door and confronted a number OF po-
licemen who were trying 10 enter. forbidding them
to cross the threshold. She charged the police
with completely n the attempt 10 murder her
husband and demanded that they at once arrest
the guilty persons, who. she declared. were well
known TO them.
Nine Stambuloff then turned 10 the Public
Prosecutor and several other officials who had ar
rived soon after her husband was brought home
and compelled them to leave the house. NJ. STAN

thought to be dying
NJ. Petkon who was Walking with W. Stambu-
lofr when he was attacked declares that just be-

HACEETI'S FEEBLE REPLY.
MR.. BRooKFIELD SAYS HE HASN'T DECIDED YET
TO COMMENT ON IT

Mr.. BROOKFIEID SAYS HE HASN'T DECIDED YET
TO COMMENT ON IT.
Most politicians in this city yesterday were laugh
ing at Charles w. Hackett's feeble and ridiculous
attempt to reply to Commissioner Brookfeld's I'M
answerable statement Of facts. II was plain that
Brooknelds hot shot had dropped desperately near
the Plat magazine and the first result was Hack
etts premature explosion which damaged nothing
but the Tioga machine. Chairman Hackett's effort
regarded generally furnishing the best OF
evidence that all that Mr.. Brookfeld charged to
want OF loyalty the part of the Plat outfit to
the Republican local ticket last fall was true.
"Nine-tenths OF Mr.. Platts political associat ties
wanted the Strong ticket defeated. and would have
rejoiced in the triumph OF Tammany Hall. and
every who posted last fall knew this TO
be true" said Republican last evening. who was
thoroughly conversant with the methods which
prevailed at the State headquarters In the Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
Commissioner Brookfe.d detained yesterday
his home. No SIG Madls)n-ave.. by the serious
illness Of his wife. and did not come downtown.
To reporter who saw him at his home last even
ing he said that he had not decided whether he
should answer the interview OF Mr.. Hackett, printed
in yesterdays papers.
II read the document last night" the Commits
sloner said. but have had other matters my

what | alleged and all his illusions and insinua-
lions and petty filings seem 10 me wholly irrel-
evant when his admission IL borne In mind.
Cornelius ~. Bliss was one OF the hepuoncans
who thought Mr.. Hacketts interview not worth
noticing. .
lie seems to have forgotten that what he calls
the Committee OF Seventys ticket was nominated
by the Republican County Conventions, and that
the Seventy's platform made the Republican
platform by being adopted by ,o< convection II
thus became much the Republican platform and
Republican ticket the State ticket and platform
were Every good politician knew that whatever
improved the chances Of the local ticket helped the
State ticket. and ought 10 have received the warm
encouragement OF the Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Hacketts admissions are plain proof In every
line Of the want OF interest felt at State head.

Mr. Bliss said that he was In possession OF
knowledge on the subject which satisfied him that
what Nr Brookheld had said about his treatment
the state headquarters was true. when | see
Mr. BroOkfeld again." he added. we may decide
on a reply. or may conclude that Mr.. Hackett's
statement g not worth IT, In the mean time, every
Republican knows that what Mr. Brookfeld says
is to be absolutely relied upon every time"
