RARIS. Nov. S0.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press today To-
Gated Andrew Hamilton. who was
confidential legislative representative
of the insurance companies at Albany,
and had half an hours talk with him
concerning his plans and his answer to
the requests OF the Armstrong insur-
ance committee that he gave orders to
his agents in New York to surrender
his papers 10 the committee, and that
he go TO New York TO testify.
Mr.. Hamilton arrived here a few days
ago from Badnauheim Springs, where
he had been for some time taking the
cure, under the care of doctors. he
looks very well. His face is ruddy, but
he still complains of the effect of his
ailment, and remains under the doc
tors treatment pending their deter
mination as TO whether it will be nee
essary for him TO resume the cure at
the springs.
A Friend With Him.
When seen by the correspondent,
MIR. Hamilton was with one of his in
innate friends who is familiar with his
affairs, and who explained some de-
tails which Mr.. Hamilton did not wish
to be publicly discussed at this time.
MIR. Hamilton did not seek TO avoid the
meeting. On the contrary, he said that
he had not the slightest desire TO con-
ceal his whereabouts, although, owing
10 his continued ill-health and the at
tentiOn required in making up his an
sWer to the Armstrong committee, he
did not desire TO see visitors. Answer
ing the correspondents request for
statement concerning his answer TO
the committees request, Mr.. Hamilton
dictated the following textual reply;
Preparing a Statement.
4 am preparing a reply to the re-
quests of the committee which will be
sent when completed to President Nc
Call of the New York Life Insurance
company"
Mr.. Hamilton said this was the only
formal statement he would now make;
but, continuing his informal talk, he
pointed out that il would be manifestiy
improper to disclose or discuss the ma
ture of his reply before IL had been
submitted TO the committee. Moreover.
he was now engaged IN framing his re-
;
pleted.
You can say. however" Mr.. Hamil-
ton added, that my answer win be
complete. You can also say that Pres
ident Mccall undoubtedly viii submit
my reply TO the committee
Concerning the ieI st1 ~ mis- reply,
Mr.. Hamilton said ne could not say
anything concerning that point.
AS to the Charges.
The correspondent suggested that
Mr.. HAMILTON might, without entering
upon details of his reply give his per
sonal view upon the charges put for
ward in New York
Mr.. Hamilton's friend thereupon re-
piled:
But there are no charges. During
the course of the legislative inquiry
certain statements have been made
relative TO Judge Hamiltons relations
with the subject, but no charges have
been formulated, and he is now en-
gagged to the best of his ability in an
sWering the statements made from
time to time concerning him."
May Remain Abroad.
When Mr. Hamilton was asked
whether he would return 10 New York.
he said il would depend entirely on the
determination of the doctors. The
friend of Mr.. Hamilton added:
Mr.. Hamilton has been asked 70
take a prolonged cure at the springs.
His illness is now manifestiug itself in
a cutaneOus afiictiOn of hips and
shoulders Should the doctor decide
that his return 10 the springs IS i'm
perative, Judge Hamilton viii probably
have to comply, as saving his health is
far more important TO him than this
insurance controversy"
In conclusion Mr.. Hamilton said he
hoped to be able 10 complete and for
ward his answer in the next few days.
