NOT MENTALLY UNBALANCED.
Former Weather Prophet HarrinS-
ton Makes Some DeniaIs.

New York, July 2.-The Sun" published
this morning despatch from Washington
about Mark W. Harrington, former Chief
of the Weather Bureau, which said that
some of the Government officials at Wash
ington intimated that Mr. Harrington was
mentally unbalanced and that his eccen-
tric actions were at the bottom of the dis
agreements he had had with Willis L.
Moore, who superseded him as chief of the
bureau. Mr. Harrington came into the
Sun" Office today and talked nationally
enough. He said he thought some of the
Weather Bureau officials had circulated
false reports about him. He declared that
he proposed to be candidate for the Office
of chief of the bureau under the next Ad-
ministration. He asked that the following
letter be published:
To the Editor of the Sun
Sir: Please correct the statement in your
dispatches Sunday relating TO me. /
am not only competent TO manage my
own affairs, but could, doubtless, manage
the Weather Bureau as well during the current
ago. ! wish the Sun which shines for all,
would not try a man and publish the verdict
without giving him chance to be heard before
hand.
Mr.. Harrington said he had been at his
home, in Mount Vernon, for some time,
and was not in Michigan, as reported in
Washington.
