Especial to The Times-Dispatch,l
NORFOLK, ~ A, August -.9.--The
status of the controversy between Ex-
position President Harry st. George
Tucker and DirectorGeneral James NJ.
Barr, arising out of the order of Mr..
Barr, transferring the social features
OF the exposition from President Tuck
er to Charles w. Kohlsaat, remained
unchanged to-day. and it now seems
unlikely that there will be any new de-
velopments before the meeting of the
board of directors of the exposition at
4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
In certain exposition circles to-day
it was said that Mr.. Barr would make
satisfactory explanations to Mr. Tuck
er and end the affair, but Mr.. Barr
did nothing of the kind to-day, at
least Mr.. Tucker had heard nothing Of
it to-night.
1t may be said with positiveness that
the only course that Mr.. Barr can pur-
sue that would be satisfactory to Mr..
Tucker would be withdrawal of the
order. Mr.. Barr is unlikely to do that
voluntarily. The meeting of the board
of directors tomorrow afternoon is to
consider the controversy and nothing
else, and in the meeting of the board
the order of Mr.. Barr will stand or fall.
The legality of the order will decide
the issue.
Neither Mr.. Tucker nor Mr. Barr to-
day had any further statements to
make in connection with the matter.

Here is the signed statement of the

So many erroneous statements have
been made in regard to the plan of re-

due to the board and the public gen.

it is estimated that those yet to report

carried Rural Point by four majority,
