 IN PHILADELPHIA
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSs)
 Philadelphia. Sept. 29.-Greeted upon his arrival at Broad street station by a crowd of ten thousand admirers. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer of the North Pole, declined to respond to many cries for a speech and passed out of the monster train shed escort ed by a squad of 12 police reserves. lowing to right and left in response to the rounds of cheers which greeted him.
 After being officially welcomed by Mayor Reyburn at City Hall, Dr. Cook was taken to the Bellevue Stratford where scores of excited men and wo- men pressed about him.
 Please let me shake hands with you alls but with my left hand,'' he said. Look what the New Workers have done to my right" and he held out the fingers in question from which the skin had been torn by those excited jubilant men who claim the explorer as their fellow citizen.
 Dr. Cook in a short speech denied that there had ever been any talk of civil suits between Faeary and himself. Referring to the records and instru- ments left with Whitney pr. Cook said:
 "Of course it would be very desir- able if we could get these instruments, left by Whitney, and the records of mine here at once. But there is no doubt as to their immediate recovery. The natives understand just what they are and will guard them. But we shall get them, don't worry"
