thing to Do with Corpse of
Woman in Double Tragedy.
HAD TOLD HIS FATHER
HE WASN'T MARRIED
Man Who Killed Self After Snp-
posed Wife's Fatal Act Said
So on Recent Visit Here.

Believing that his son had been led
to his fate by the woman said to be his
wife, and that she caused him to take
his own life in a momentary fit of des-
peration and melancholy, William G.,
Hacker, of SO Winthrop avenue, father
of Edward II. Hacker, refuses to hav
anything to do with the body of the
woman or any of her effects.
The grief-stricken father, after doubt
ing' until the last that the man who
committed suicide after his wife had
shot herself in their home, 400 West
11Sth street, New York, identified the
body, and completed arrangements to
today. When shown a gold watch and
other trinkets, Mr.. Hacker said to the
property clerk in the ~coroner's office: "I
can't give you a receipt for all of that
jewelry. Those chains were the prop
erty of the woman and I don't want
Them Clerk Cassidy. of the coroner's
office, decided not TO turn over the
property, but to consult Coroner Dooley.
To an EVENING STAR reporter the
elder Hacker reiterated that he did not
believe that his son was married, all
though he was not positive that he had
not become a benedict without notify
ing him. He said hat he had his owl
idea of the tragedy, but was not pre-
pared to speak about it. His son wal
not a drinking man, he said, n hi
ridiculed the idea that the son was I'M
der the influence of liquor at the timd
of the double suicide.
II can't believe that he was married, 4
added the father. MY son was at th4
time of life when his business prospects
We're excellent. I asked him how nd
was situated in New York when Id
visited me on Tuesday in Newark, and
he told me that he was living with,
friends. l asked him If he ever
thought of marrying, and he said he
had not married and did not think he
would marry"
1t was said today that Mrs. Edward
II. Hacker had been divorced two
years ago from j. A. Tibbs, of Kansas

the word sent to State Chairman Wood
ruff in the ~Adirondacks. The ultima
tum of the President was reached at a
conference at Sycamore Hill, in which
James s. Sherman, the Vice-Presiden-
tial nominee; the national chairman,
Mr.. Hitchcock; Postmaster-Genera
Meyer, Representatives w. w. Cocks
Dady participated.
President Roosevelt, it is understood,
declared unqualifiedly that the party
managers with whom he had talked had
not produced proof to indicate that the
great mass of Republican voters
throughout the State, other than those
controlled by the racing interests and
the party machine, were opposed to the
Governor.
He went further to state hat the cor
dial receptions to the Governor on his
tour of the county fairs indicated that
he was very strong with the people in
the rural sections OF the State, all OF
which meant that it would be political
ly eXpedient to renominate him..
President R~oosevelt's views of the
11uSIeS udtl are DdSeu Oh TepOrts
which he received from clergymen,
business men and laboring men, as wei
as practical politicians. He explained
that he wanted to see Mr.. Taft elected.
and added that he believed the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hughes would greatly
strengthen Taft in several States where
to turn down. the Governor might
imperil Republican success.
The moral effect Of a refusal to re-
nominate him would be bad, to the
Presidents mind, for, irrespective OF
his own opinion, there are many
throughout the country who applaud
the Governor for his successful cru
SADIE against betting on the race-tracks
He does not undervalue the strength
of the State leaders opposition to the
Governor. They have been frank with
him in their disapproval of a renomi-
nation. and he has given due weight
to their arguments. He has expert
enced this opposition in his own Con.
gressional district, the First, which
comprises all of Long Island excepting
Brooklyn borough and two wards In
Queens.

option of fifteen claims adjoining the

that the deal will be completed. The

identically the same as the Diamond

as $500. No returns of the assays
have been received, but there is no
doubt that the discovery is valuable.

did your party make any invest
ments while in Chafey, Senator?" in
quired the reporter.
I'VE made no Investment in the
Mayhower." was the response, fol
the reason that it is a close corpora
ton proposition, and there is nothing
for sale. However, we acquired small
interests in other properties.
I'VE shall start today for National

now to be prominently before the
mining world. We shall return with
in few days and win then proceed
to Tonopah. 1t is my intention, how
ever, to return to Humboldt county
within month, and l shall spend &
good portion of the winter here, al
I believe this country will shortly be
the center of mining activities in this
state"
