Manager Wheelwright of the Yale navy,
In an interview at New Haven last night,
branded as false a statement sent out from
New Haven yesterday afternoon in regard
to the Yale-Harvard controversy.
The statement was made that Yale had
fiji ally formulated an ultimatum including
an agreement to enter the Harvard-Corne!
1ece on the Hudson. Mr.. Wheelwrieht
stated that negotiations were nearly at an
end. but he said they were being conducted
in the same manner they have been for
the past month. No ultimatum has been
drawn up and Yale has not formally offer
ed to Harvard any agreement which in
clIded promise to enter the Harvard-Cor-
nell race. Nor has 1T been definitely de-
cided to send the crew to Henley, providing
a settlement with Harvard proves impos-
slpie AT present everything regarding a
definite policy in boating and other branch
eS of Yale athletics awaits the solution Of
the present difficulty.
1t is well known that this week will see
the end of the long and much-discussed
Yale-Harvard squabble. but a sensation
was caused in athletic circles at New Hav-
en- last evening when it leaked out that
Capt. Philip Bailey of the Yale crew was
at Cambridge consulting with some of the
Harvard athletic committee. The manage
n.ent refused to discuss his mission but it
was learned on good authority, when Jerry
Simpson, bow in the varsity boat, took
OI TIE crew CdnQlGateS YESTERDAY
afternoon that Captain Bailey was spend
iEg the day at Cambridge 1t Is thought
this Is the climax to all the correspondence
that mas been passing to and fro since
Yale's first ultimatum broke up negotia-
tfons, and it Is expected that Captaia
Bailey will bring back a favorable report
The management have promised, through
Walter Camp as a medium. to issue for
NAL statement Of the whole matter in
few days.
Cambridge, Mass. dispatch says: Cap
tain Bailey of the Yale crew was here to-
day and had a conference with Captain
Goodrich of Harvard in regard to the ath-
letic difficulties between the two uniyerSi-
ties. Captain Goodrich would say nothing
whatever 10 the result of the meeting
but intimated that it might have some bear
ing on the final settlement of the matter
He said that Captain Bailey's visit was CT
an official nature
Whether Yale has made any distinct prop
csition through Captain Bailey is not
kroWn. but his visit here is regarded as
very significant AS Harvard has decided
to row but one race, Yale will have to en-
ter the Cornell rase or there will be no
meeting in aquaticS between the crimson
and the blue this year.
1t does not seem at all unlikely that Yale
will ultimately agree ITO Harvard's original
proposition which dill not necessarily in
sist on Yale entering the Cornell race. The
exact proposition made by Harvard cannot
be divulged at present. but no conditions
were made which did not bear equally on
both parties.

THE OHIO SITUATION,
1t Is Complex. but Everything Will
Come Out All Right.


Ohio members Of the House now admit
that the situation in that state is complex
and three of them expressed the belief to a
Star reporter that nobody in Washington
knows how the matter will end. One of the
best-posted men in the delegation says that
he knows 1t to be fact that Gov. Bush
nell has fully made up his mind not to give
| an idea of what he will do until he receives
| the formal resignation of Senator Sher-
man. He considers it ill-timed to express
any opinion until there is official ground
for it. All of the members talked to say
that the situation is not what 1t is repre-
sented by the democratic newspapers. They
declare that everything will come out all
right. despite the stories of increasing fric-
tion in the republican ranks. The belief is
also expressed that Lieutenant Governor
Jones is not an applicant for the senator
ship. and will do what is best for the united
interests of the party.
Representative De Witt has returned
from a trip to Ohio. Whether Mr.. Hanna
is senator. Postmaster General or plain
leaders of all the elements in Ohio, with
the interests of the party in view. Repre-
sentative De Witt said to Il Sta- reporter
this morning. There is not going to be
any factional fight in. Ohio he said. over
the senatorship anything else. The re-
publicans of the state don't want it, and
President-elect Mckinley doesn't want i
and won't have it. lie is master Of the
whole situation, and he will not make any
movement whereby his administered ion can
be used to build up faction tear
down another. He has always been broad
enough to work for the united party.
