To Know Whether Dr..
Cook Also Fooled Him,
Will Send Explorer to Locate
Alleged Bradley Land.
Inclined to Think 1t a Myth, in
Light Of Other Exposes.

New York. Jan. 2-Just to satisfy his
own curiosity as to whether there is
any Bradley land in the Arctic sea,
John X. Bradley, financial hacker of
DR.. Frederick A. Cooks polar expedi-
ton, has decided to organize an expe-
dltlon to locate the vast area
captain Otto Sverdrup. a Norwegian
explorer. has been asked to head the
expedition, which will start from St.
Johns. n. F., early in June.
When Cook thrilled the world with
MS famous message from Lerwick,
shetland Islands, on Sept. /, 1909, an
nounclng the discovery of the North
Pole, he added that he had also dis
covered 10000 square miles of land in
the Far North. Upon his arrival in
Copenhagen, where he was feted as a
world hero. the explorer told more of
the land which he had discovered on
his final dash to the pole. 1t was then
that he announced that he had named
this heretofore unknown territory
Bradley Land"
There was no limit to Bradley's joy
when he learned that his name would
for all time TO come hold a place in
the worlds history. And the sports
man and hunter dreamed of some day
establishing a happy hunting ground
in the frozen north.
"Just think" he told a friend, 'this
vast empire will be mine. There will be
no game wardens to interfere with my
pleasure when 1 take my friends for a
hunting trip in Bradley Land"
After he had reached the point of
specializing on the future commercial
possibility of his island in the polar
sea, Bradley was sorely disappointed
to hear that Copenhagen had decided
against DR.. Cook. Reporters who car
ried the news to Bradley at the Hotel
Netherlands were much impressed by
the sportsman's long silence after he
had read the bulletin telling of the YER
dict Of the scientists.
II don't give a rap about the North
pole he finally said, "but really will
be much disappointed if these wise
men of Denmark decide that DR.. Cook
has named few hundred icebergs in
honor of his friend and benefactor,
John r. Bradley.
"I'll just send an expedition up
there" he said, while talking with a
few friends in the Waldorf Astoria.
THAT is the only way to know posi-
lively If DR.. Cook really found that
land"
Once this decision had been reached,
Bradley walked to the cable office in
the lobby of the hotel and sent mes
hage to Captain Otto Sverdrup asking
him if he would consider proposition
tc head the expedition. Captain Sverd-
rup. it is understood, asked Bradley to
write fully regarding the proposed ex-
petition. and withheld a definite an
swer until he is supplied with the de-
