Memphis Tenn, February 16.-T. P.

He says he has not made a statement of any kind for publication, either personally or for the Horsemens Protective Association re- garding the prospects of a racing war be- tween the Western Jockey Club and op- posing tracks, and has not expressed an opinion one way or the other. He says it is a daring game to race horses and fer nothing else, but hopes all trouble will be averted. He has taken no sides and will race where the most money is hung up.
 There will be no meeting of the Horse- mems Protective Association and if there were, it would only be to decide on a few rules which the horsemen will pre- sent to the Western Jockey Club on Marcn 4. MT. Hayes stated that all of the horsemen were of the same opinion as himself, and were not mixing in race troubles, and would race where the best advantages were offered.
