politicians in the 1st Assembly District, says that
Hauser in a drunken stupor in the saloon, and
when he awakened fell down between some
chairs after which he complained that he felt
bad and Holtz's advice walked to the Long
Island College Hospital.

Hospital said last night that he did not why so
