HAS NOTHING TO CONCEAL

Paris, Nov. 30.-The correspondent of the Associated Press today located An- drew Hamilton, who was confidential legislative representative of the insu- rance companies at Albany. and had half an hours talk. with him con- corning his plans and his answers to the. request of the Armstrong insu- rance committee that he give orders to his agents in New York to surren- der his papers to the committee, and that he go to New York to testify.
 MT. Hamilton arrived here few days ago from Bad Nauheim Springs, where he had been for some time talk doctors. He looks fairly well. His face Is ruddy, but he still complains of the effect of his ailment and re- mains under the doctors treatment pending their determination whether 1t will be necessary for him to re- sume the cure at the springs.
 When seen by the correspondent MT. Hamilton was with one of his inti- mate friends. who is familiar with his affairs, and who explained some de- tails which Mir. Hamilton did not wish to be Publicly discussed at this time Hamilton did not seek to ayoidN the meeting.
 Did Net want Visitors.
 On the contrary he said he had not
 
 whereabouts, although owing to his continued ill health and the attentton required in making up his answer to the Armstrong committee he did not desire to see visitors. Answering the correspondents request for a statement concerning his answers to the com
 mittee's report, Mir. Hamilton dicta- ted the following textual reply:
 T am preparing reply to the re- quests of the committee which will be
 sent when completed to President Mo- Call of the New. ork Life Insurance Company"
 MT. Hamilton said this was the only formal statement that he would now make, but continuing his informal talk he pointed out that it would be manifestly improper to disclose or dis cuss the nature Of the reply before It had been submitted to the committee. Moreover. he was now engaged in framing his reply so that lis work was not yet completed.
 You can say, however" MT. Ham iiton added, that my answer Will pc complete You can also say that President Mccall will undoubtedly sub init my reply to the committee. Considering the length of his reply Mir. Hamilton said he could say noth- ing concerning that point.
 The correspondent Sh68OSNSN MT. Hamilton might without entering upon details of his reply, give his per sonal views upon the charges put TOT | ward in New York.
 Mr. Hamilton's friend thereupon re- piled: Says There are Ne Charges. But there are no charges. During .he- course of the Legislative inquiry certain statements have been made relative to Judge Hamilton's relations with the subject, but no charges nave been formulated and he Is now en- gagged to the best of his ability in am swering the statements made rom thle to time concerning him." When Mir. Hamilton was asked whether he would return to New York; he said it would depend entirely on the determination of the doctors. The f,Jand of MT. Hamilton added; Judge Hamilton has been asked to take a prolonged cure at the springs: His illness Is now manifesting ftselt in a cutaneous affection of the hips and shoulder. Should the doctors de- eide that his return to the springs is imperative, Judge Hamilton will prob ably have to comply as saving his health is far more important to him than this insurance controversy" In conclusion, Mir. Hamilton said he hoped to be able to complete and for ward his answer in the next few days.
