Why They Denied II Before.

Mr. Aborn explained that their repeated
denials OF tho acceptance OF the oher of
the dictatorship Of the Century Opera
Company were due TO their contract with
Felix Isman for ten years lease OF an
opera house he was to build M Broadway
and 4sth street and FOR which they had
paid him $1,000 as a deposlt
As soon as the dictatorship OF the Gen.
tury opera Company was offered To tho
Aborns. a month ago, they began nego-
tiations with view 10 dissolution OF
their agreement with Mr. Isman. On ac-
count Of certain legal complications and
business plans which had 10 be re-
arranged. they were restrained from
making any statement one way or an
other. These affairs were finally straight
ened out. and Mr.. Isman sent 10 Inc
Aborns a check for the amount or their
deposit Yesterday. while they agreed 10
assume all expense so far incurred IN
architects fees. etc.
As soon as this amicable arrangement
was concluded the city club committee
made it's formal announcement OF the
appointment Of Milton and Sargent Aborn
as managing directors Of the Century
opera COMPANY and the latter officially
confirmed this engagement
