between him and the other governors In rela-

ever. against Fortmeyer's wishes. Later Fort
meyer refused to enter Hawkins in the Middle
States regatta. and again did the committee
enter him against Fortmeyer's wishes. This
act was Immediately followed by the rowing
directors resignation.
In connection with this resignation Eugene
Van schaiok caused to be published a state
mont to tho effect that he had demanded Fort.
meyers resignation. This tho latter emphati-
cally denies. Fortmeyer said yesterday that
among an athletic committee OF so large q

that he rendered his resignation. believing it
