 New Forks Society Feud Today
 Takes On Entirely Mew Angle
Typewrters, Telegraph Apparatus and Operators In- stalled in Room Adjacent to That of Voluntary Prisoner - In Street Below Fakrs Are Selling "Budlong Shirts" At 9S Cents Each-Woman May Come Out Today.

New York, Feb. 19. --- An appeal that a physician be brought to her at once was shouted by Mrs. Milton J. Budlong today, from behind a door of the apartment home of her husband, oil magnate, where Mrs. Budlong has been a voluntary pris- oner. on hunger strike, since last Friday.
 The feud between husband and wife developed another mysterious angle. Shortly before noon, furni- ture movers began installing desks, ltypewriters, telegraph instruments land operators in the drawing room of the apartment, adjoining the bed room where Mrs. Budlong has im- prisoned herself.
 Calls For Doctor Mrs. Budlong's plea for a physi- clan was called, in thin, weak voice, to her husbands secretary. who has acted as generalissimo of servants and private detectives in- stalled in rooms of the apartment surrounding the woman's self-chosen bedroom prison.
 Send for doctor, quick" was all the secretary heard before he scam- pered off to relay the message to re- porters and to phone for a physician. Papers Disappear Only a few minutes earlier the secretary had been much exercised over the disappearance of important papers of the oil magnate's and a photograph of Mrs. Budlong which he said was highly prized by the husband.
 Reporters, first, and then Bud longs private detectives were &C., cused of having removed the arti- cles from the apartment. But all denied knowing anything about either documents or photograph.
 In the meantime, attorneys for Budlong were reported closeted in q downtown hotel, attempting to ne- gotiate a compromise in behalf of their respective clients. Shirts, 9S Gents Each
 Hawkers mingling with the crowds on the streets II stories be- low the BudIong apartment today put on sale "Budlong's shirts" at 9S cents each.
 They sold rapidly, for there has been created a great demand for souvenirs ef the shirts, initiated "M. J. B." which Mrs. BudIong has used as ballast for the notes she tossed to those below.
 Several hot dog and hot drink pushcarts, strangers to the exclusive section each of Fifth avenue where the Budiongs live. circulated through the throng, doing a thriving business.
 May Give Up Today
 In two notes pinned to her lus- bands shirts which she dropped to the street last night. announced that today she would leave her apartment bedroom where she has been on a hunger strike for six days.
 Mrs. Budlong threw the shirts with the duplicate notes attached yester day afternoon from the window of the bedroom in her husbands apart ment in which she had locked her self last Friday morning. They said that the telephone extension wire had been cut off last Saturday and that the water supply had been cut off Monday. In the missives she de- nied any intention of taking her life, adding, If anything happens to me it will be murder"
 Representatives of her husband issued statement denying all of Mrs. Budlong's assertions and declaring that she had been advised by her mother, her uncle and her daughter 10 leave the apartment.
 Mrs. Budlong's petition for sepa- rate maintenances was denied in Newport on February 10. She en- tered the New York apartment last Thursday night, and Friday morning | locked herself In a bedroom. Her purpose, according to counsel, was to prevent Mir. Budlong locking her out and bringing suit on the grounds of desertion. The custo ody of her two mi TOT sons, John and Milton, was awarded her husband when her peti- tion was denied.
