 New @ aork, Sept: m.-Ihe a state'nens tate hv Harry Whitney, the New Haven sportsman, that he had been compelled by Commander Peafy to sleavea all of Dr. Cooks records, data and effects breach between the Cook and Peary adherents in the Pole controversy. That it will be a year or even years before Dr. Cook can prove his claim definitely is the declaration of scien- tific men today. They declare that want to see Dr. Cooks scientific in. struments for corrected variations" before accepting his claims or reject ing them.
 Cook adherents are bitter against Commander Peary for his refusal to allow Whitney to bring back Cooks belongings, but Commander Pearys friend say h was aware of Cooks in tention of claiming the pole and Peary did rot intend to help him along.
 Battle Harbor, declares he does not doubt that Cook reached the pole. He declared he did not know pr. Cook until, with two EskinoS half starved and footsore, they arrived at Annotok
 Whitney accompanied Cook to Etah where Cook told him of the discovery of the pole. He requested Whitney that when he met Peary to tell the commander that Cook had passed Peary's "Farthest North" but not to tell him that he had reached the pole. Dr. Cook has received the following cablegram from whitney: 'Strathon, via Battle Harbor and Cape Ray. Dr. F. A. Cook. waldorf Astoria : Started for home Roosevelt. Notn- ing arrived for me. Peary would al you you on on board. Had to leave every thing in cache at Etah. Met Captain Sam Bartlett of the Jeanie) at North Star. Did not go back after going | (on board) schooner for St. Johns.

 sextant, his artificial horizon finder Cook had little to say regarding this unexpected phase of the case. Let the American people know that even the flag which was at the Pole was not even allowed as private property on
 board the Peary ship" he said: | Are the instruments and data ler'
 by whitney at Etah necessary for the
 proper presentation of your claim that | you discovered the Pole?" Dr. COOK I was asked.
 i've have copies of all the essential
 records here," said Cook. "The pre-
 sentation of the matter to the proper authorities will in no way be affected. Besides, my instruments are not lost and they will be brought back in time. l It is very desirable of course that we should have the instrumental correc- lions for the scientific world"
 Dr. Cook declared that the ship l which brought his two Eskimos back from the North would stop at Etah and. pick up the instruments wnlcn
 Whitney had cached these. He added that the instruments packed in water | proof bags. would not be injured by | lying on the rocks chere for a year
 He said he was sure the two Eskimos 1 who were with him at the Pole would I be careful of the instruments.

 there will probably take the train for the United States.
