Theories.

New York, Nov, 27,-Dr Cook
dropped completely from the public
view today. Not even John r, Brad
ley, whose money was behind Cook S
polar explorations, knows where he
is. Confiding the secret to only one
man and perhaps his wife, Cook has
slipped quietly away, leaving string
of puzzled and eXasperated friends and
debate more acrimonious than that
which followed his announcements in
September that he had discovered the
north pole. Charles Wake, an insur-
ance man. appears to be the only one
who knows Cooks whereabouts. Wake
is firmly resolved to keep his lips
sealed until Cook makes his where
abouts known.
Concern is expressed over Dr.
Cooks health Although some friends

pairing his data we'll An intimate as,

This change in the betting was eff
