NIXON: Abducted I. liritniii X. p- Maria Trump horrified1 by theft of her shoes, boots The Associated Press NEW YORK The former Maria Maples said yesterday that she screamed when shoes and boots that she had missed for years tumbled from an opened closet in the office of her former publicist. "I was horrified," Maria Trump testified at the burglary trial of the publicist, Chuck Jones. "He had been sitting there for hours telling us he didn't have my things.

It was very painful to see that he was lying." Mrs. Trump, 30, said that in Jones' office on West 51st Street, she found shoes she had not seen for years, including a blue suede pair she lost in 1990, and a gold pair she had planned to wear to a dinner. On his walls were numerous photographs of her, and in his cabinets videotapes of her, her phone bills, her schedule books, and other things. "These photographs, I don't know where they came from," she said. Mrs.

Trump said she went to the office after security employees of her husband, real estate developer Donald Trump, secretly videotaped Jones entering and rummaging through her apartment in Trump Pare on Central Park South. The videotape was played for the jury with Mrs. Trump narrating Jones' movements through the apartment. At one point he knelt at a box where she kept photos, then he was in a closet where she kept shoes, then he was in a bedroom. Eventually he put something in his pocket while bending near an area where she put her dirty laundry.

When confronted with the videotape, Mrs. Trump said, Jones claimed he was looking for a contract they had signed together. Later, she said, he moaned, "It's over. It's over. Just get me a gun, Maria.

Just get me a gun." When police and Trump security employees searched Jones' office, Mrs. Trump said, they convinced him to open a locked cabinet. "We opened it and that's when my sliced boots and shoes fell out," she said. "I just sort of screamed when they fell out. I was horrified." State officials pay top dollar for offices New York's public authorities spend millions of dollars a year for prime Manhattan office space when cheaper deals are available, according to a published report.

A survey of eight authorities found they were paying up to $54 a square foot for office space triple the asking price for more modest space. The eight authorities pay $16 million a year in rent while 1 million square feet office space in the public authority-owned World Trade Center remains unoccupied. Downtown Manhattan landlords on average are asking $30 a square foot for the best space, while midtown prices are a dollar or two higher.

They called a news conference to protest reported cuts the new mayor wants to make in the city's hospital system and in a variety of agencies to help plug a $2.3 billion hole in the upcoming budget.

Caucus members want to continue a program to allow minority; and women-owned businesses to receive city contracts if they come within 10 percent of the lowest bid. Giuliani wants to change the policy. Exemployee files 'no pants' lawsuit A graphic artist accuses her former employer in a lawsuit of encouraging women to display their flesh by imposing a "no pants" policy. But a vice president of the company says it isn't true. "I'm wearing pants right now," said Elise Greenspan, vice president and general counsel for Frederic R.

Harris an engineering firm. Greenspan rejected allegations by the former employee, Jennifer Zimmermann, 25, of Queens that were made in a lawsuit filed Thursday. chael Klusacek said. Kari was abducted in June 1987 by Robert Anthony Jones, 29, of Ausable Forks, and sexually assaulted and killed by Jones several hours later, Klusacek said.

N.J.. after an explosion ripped through the center yesterday. The blast, apparently caused by natural gas. destroyed nine businesses.

The mall was abandoned and only one, firelighter was slightly hurt. Brooklyn D.A. seeks nod for attorney general The Associated Press NEW YORK Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes has decided to challenge incumbent G. Oliver Koppell for state attorney general.

Hynes' announcement Thursday night brought an immediate, predictable admonition from the state party leader to keep the battle clean. "If there's a primary, it should be people talking about their ideas," Al Gordon, the Democratic state chairman, said yesterday in Albany. "It should be positive, not negative." Gordon said it was too soon to speculate on whether Hynes would come to the party's state convention in June with enough support to put him in a September prima he was at odds with Republican thinking on several issues, among them capital punishment, which he opposes. Gordon said a Republican enr" dorsement would sink Hynes withj Democratic convention delegates. "He'd have great difficulty getting the 25 percent." John Marino, the former Dem? ocratic state chairman who if managing Gov.

Mario M. Cuomo's' re-election campaign, acknowl edged that primaries sometimesi can hurt a ticket, but thought a Koppell-Hynes contest would more likely have a neutral or even posi-t tive effect. "It can get people thinking" about politics, activate the base, for the general election," Marino said. ry-Candidates endorsed by the convention become the party nominees unless a challenger gets the support of at least 25 percent of the delegates or gathers enough petitions to force a primary election. "I assume Joe will have support in Brooklyn, which is a decent base," Gordon said.

Brooklyn holds 11 percent of the votes in the convention. "As I travel around, I pick up that Koppell is doing very well within the party. Most of the major county chairs are for him," Gordon said. Koppell, a former Democratic state Assemblyman from the Bronx, has been in office only since Jan. 1, having been chosen by the Legislature to complete the term of Robert Abrams, who resigned with a year to go.

Hynes, who won a second term as Brooklyn district attorney in November, has been a special state prosecutor four times over the past two decades. He headed offices that went after nursing home abuses, Medicaid fraud and abuses in the criminal justice system. He also prosecuted the attackers in the Howard Beach racial killing in 1986. He also served as city fire commissioner for a year and a half, beginning in April 1981. Hynes used a television interview to announce that he was going to run.

Asked about a report that he might be offered the Republican nomination, Hynes said.
