MRS. THAw AGAIN TALKS.
Issues Statement Without Consulting
Son or Counsel.

Concord, n. H., Nov. 5-Mrs. Mary
Copley Thaw gave to the press last night
without the knowledge OF my son." she
said "or any member of his COUNSEL y
a 600-word statement in sharp criticism
of William T. Jerome and in reply to
his remarks before Governor Felker in
Rochester, rejecting upon Harry X.
Thaw's counsel. In relation to one OF
Jerome's charges she says:
1T must be obvious to the most or
binary mind that if the crime of brib-
ing juryman was committed at the
time of the first homicide trial, it was
manifestly the duty of the district at
torney to expose and punish the offend
ers. On the other hand, if no such crime
as he alleges was committed, William
Travers jerome lays himself open to
the charge of criminal libel. This is not
the time or place, however, to take that
matter up, but it will not be forgotten"

sULzER CALLS IT vINDIcATIoN.
His Election Pleased Him Beyond Meas
ure, Again Denounces Murphy.

New York, Nov. 4-William Sulzer,
ousted from the governorship of New
York last month by verdict of high
court of impeachment was elected to the
state assembly yesterday from the sixth
district by a sweeping plurality, esti-
mated at an early hour at 1000 or more.
He ran on the Progressive ticket and ap-
parently has polled more votes than his
Republican and Democratic opponents
combined His old neighbors on the east
side rallied strongly to his support and
it was early apparent that he had
hwamped the opposition.
There was jubilation unbounded in the
former governors headquarters as the
count began to record his victory Sui
zer himself was all smiles. He regarded
his triumph as personal vindication, he
said, and issued statement thanking
his supporters and scoring Charles +.
Murphy, leader of Tamany hall, who he
declared was condemned by the vote
that gave the district to William Sui
ger as its representative at Albany.
"The people of the sixth assembly dis
trict," said Sulzer, in his statement,
.think better of me than of Mr.. Murphy.
They know why Mr.. Murphy removed
me from the governorship; they know
when Mr. Murphy asked me to do wrong
refused to do wrong; they know when
Mr.. Murphy tried to bribe me / refused
to be bribcd; they know when Mr.. Muir
ply threatened me / defied his threats.
"The voters have now condemned Mr..
Murphy; reversed the Judgment of his
high court of infamy and vindicated me
by the verdict of the polls, which in the
last analysis, is the opinion OF man
kind.
From Mr.. Murphy's high court of in
fanny | appealed to the higher court of
public opinion. Mr.. Murphy says that
there was no appeal from his court, but
Mr.. Murphy was mistaken; and he
knows now that the judgment of the
people can reverse the judgment Of any
court"
Sulzer made his fight for election to
the assembly on the lines of the state
ment he issued last night. His canvass
was whirlwind affair, demonstrative
crowds greeting him wherever he spoke
He rarely went outside of his district,
but his speeches within that territory
were directed as much at the Tammany
organization in its city-ward and state
bearings as to an appeal to his imme-
date constituency.

Would Be Successful.

New York, Nov. 5.--Fusion carried
New York City yesterday, electing John
Purroy Mitchell mayor by approximately
10000 and maintaining control of the

and of having contributed the largest
vote toward the election of Mr.. Mitchell
and his associates on the fusion ticket"
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, followed shortly with a brief
statement.
"The result speaks for ITSELF" he said.

be of substantial benefit to the city"
Former Judge Mccall, the Tammany
candidate, retired early. He took the
announcement of his defeat calmly when
Fire Commissioner Joseph Johnson, his
campaign manager, called the candidate
on the telephone and told him the re-
turns spelled Mitchell by big majority.
