MANY HUSTLE FOR
VANTAGE POINTS ON
Vanderbilt CUP COURSE,

Garden City, l.. l., Oct. 29.-Although
the race for the Vanderbilt cup will be
started at nine o'clock in the morning
instead of daybreak as in former years,
the scenes which in former years have
made the night before the race so pictur-
esque were enacted again tonight during
the hours which preceded the unleash
ing of the IS cars which will compete
for the famous trophy. Increased NOR
bid interest attaches to this years con-
test owing to the fact that the race
must be run over Il circuit which is but
1854 miles long This means that there
will be twice as many turns as last year,
when the course measured 23.46 miles.
When it is consid ered that in addition
there will be &c cars running simultane-
ouSly instead of II. as was the case last
year, and that the drivers are not eX-
perienced as those of former years,
some idea of the danger may be had.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to rob the course of one of it's
chief perils by banking all of the turns.
At the same time this assurance against
spills offers am incentive to reckless
drivers to take the turns at full speed
and without throttling them.
Four of the drivers-Strang Chevrolet.
Seymour and Haupt- We're at the wheels
of the cars participating in the Wander
bilt last year. and interest centerS on
these veterans. Strang. who will pilot one
of the Fiat cars. is looked upon by many
as a sure winner. He has a formidable
rival. however. in Chevrolet. who will
be at the wheel of the Buick. \ close
contest between the two is promised.
The contest is complicated this year
by the bringing together Of four classes
of cars running simultaneously for
three sets of distances. The smaller
cars will cover the circuit 10 times the
intermediate class will circle the course
Is times and the big cars, which alone
are competitors for the Vanderbilt cup
will be called upon to go around L.

more than his usual emphasis, that he
was out of that field for all time.
Ruddy and robust, Mr.. Croker was
apparently in the best of health and
spirits and was almost boyish in his
enjoyment of the fine cool weather. He

RAIN Beach, Fla, and was anxious to
reach there as soon as possible
Next week, he declared, would find
mini on his way to Florida.
Il am out of politics absolutely" Mr.
Croker declared when the perennial
question was asked him. II know it is
no Use to expect the press to let up on
the question and i must continue to
deny any participation in public az
falrs. If I did not reply they would
think l had something on my mind"
Mr.. Croker was accompanies. by Mrs
Stella w. Bowman. a niece. and Miss

COOK HAS AFFiDAviTS.
Says He Has Several to Prove Bar
riIi's Story is Not True.

Missoula, Mont. Oct. 29-Dr. Fred
erlck A. Cook arrived in Missoula to-
day and said he did not care to dis
cuss last nights stormy meeting in
Hamilton further than to say that the
controversy over whether he reached
the summit of Mount Mckinley had
now sifted down to point where it
was his affidavit against the affidavit
Of Edward N. Barrill The dispute
could only be settled by an expedition
to Mount Mckinley to recover the rec
ords. which he says he left on the
peak and which Barrill. the only per-
son with him on the trip, says were
not placed at the summit because the
top of the mountain was not reached.
DR.. Cook said that he had procured
several affidavits favorable to his side
of the controversy with Barrill, but
that only one could be made public
now. This affidavit is made by George
W. Solleder prominent farmer of
Ravilli county, living near the homes
Of Barrill and Printz. Solleder de-
clareS that Barrll. with whom he has
been intim ,ately associated for years,
told him that he and DR.. Cook climbed
Mount Mckinley. Solleder ayers that
he and Barrill are now on friendly
terms and have had no controversy.
Having been advised that the affi
davit which he made on the platform
at Hamilton was lacking in the notarial
seal and was not properly drawn, DR..
Cook made duplicate affidavit in
Missoula today in legal form. 1t reads:
Il Frederick A. Cook. being first
