made by him before he was officially
notified that during the progress of the

DANISH SCIENTISTS
WANT TO SEE COOK

vorite With Copen-

COPENHAGEN. Nov. 2s.-The Danish

today viewing with much misgivings
his evident attempt to keep under
cover for the present.
TheyN s. q tt = viii be absolutely
necessary for the committee that is
to investigate his North Pole discovery
data TO be in almost constant Ocmmuni-
cation with him. 1t is taken for
granted that there will be many OBJ
scurities in the records that can only
be cleared up by further testimony
from the explorer.
The Danish scientists disavow any
knowledge Of the doctors CominE TO
Denmark, although they hope tha- ne
will come here and assist the commit
tee.
Cook is still a warm favorite in Den
mark. and should he ome here, he
will be accorded a cordial welcome.
The friendliness for Cook is not al
together ingenious. as the dispute now
raging over his reported discovery has
reached the point where the Danish
scientists, who have already given
Cook their unqualified support. want
20 see him vindicated in order that
they may be free from criticism or
ridicule.
