Philadelphia, July Miss Mignon
Hopkins, beautiful cloak model of
this city, entered suit against Will
lam Sulzer of New York for breach OF
promise for failure to marry her as
she alleges he has promised accord
ing to contract made between them.
Miss Hopkins retained an attorney to
represent her and he swore to the al
hdavit accusing Sulzer of having lived
with Miss Hopkins for several years
at various places in New York city.
Miss Hopkins declares that she be-
came engaged to him on Sept Is.
1908 and that on that date he asked
her to become his wife and to keep it
secret until he could marry her. She
AYERS that she complied with his re-
quest and lived with him from time
to time and for period of several
years and accompanied him on trips
and lived with him in various hotels
and that he introduced her to his
friends as his wife
Continuously Together.
They were continuously together
she says until Nov. :, 1907, when she
went to Boston to nurse a sick sister
and that while there she received sew
eral letters from Sulzer referring to
his promise to marry her and that he
again asserted his fealty to her in
these missives and assured her that
no other woman would ever be his
wife.
Miss Hopkins then declares that she
was much distressed to find that on
January s, 1908, William Sulzer was
married in Atlantic City to another
woman and that since that time she
has not seen or heard from the man
who promised to make her his wife.
Miss Hopkins has lived at 902
Spruce street in this city for the past
two years.
It Is Governor Sulzer.
'Is the William Sulzer mentioned
in your suit, and the William Sulzer,
governor of New York, one and the
same MANI" Miss Hopkins was ask
ed
"Why of course he is" she replied,
there isn't any doubt about the mat
ter He is the man l was so crazy
about. He is the man who wooed me
and then forgot all about me and mar
ried another woman"
Wasn't this case all settled at one
time?' was the next question.
Didn't you bring suit against Mr..
Sulzer about six months after his mar.
riage and wasn't the case amicably
settled?"
This question seemed to have sur
prised Miss Hopkins and she refused
to make any reply to it.

law of the governor of New York,
denied that the executive could be
the same person named in the suit
because she has known the governor
for ten years, six Of which he has
been married and in all this time had
never heard of the woman.
''If he is the one meant in the suit.
you may be sure 1t is political trick
of his enemies and you may be sure
that he will come out with flying col
ors," added Miss Rodelheim.
"Rot," Says Governor SuIzer.
