WELLMAN MAKES STATEMENT
ON CLAIMS OF COOK
AND PEARY.
IS STRONG FOR PEARy
Declaring His Story to Be CreditabIc
Says Cooks Rush to Lee
ture Platform Argues
Against Him.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Walter Well
man, whose preparations for the con
quest of the north pole in an airship
were abandoned upon the announce
ment of the claims of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook and Commander Robert f.
Paery, issued here tonight state
ment In which he analysed the nara
tives of the two explorers, declaring
that of Peary to be precise, work
manlike, consistent, and creditable in
every particular" and denouncing
that of DR.. Cook as set of evident
and even deliberate impostures.
Cooks story is suspicious both in
what it does and what 1t does not
tell" Mr.. Wellman declared. He Is
generally vague and indefinite but,
like most men of his class, altogether
too precise at the wrong place. No
where does his story ring true, II
is always an approximation OF reality
