New York, March t21.-Before leaV-

ingtcn denied the reported interviews
with him in which he was quoted as
having said that u letter, or telegram
had caused his presence in West SD
street Sunday night when he was Sc
Nercly beaten.
Or. Washington said he had so far
recovered from the numerous scalp
wounds and contusions that there
would be no difficulty in his getting to
court, but about the hotel there was
unconfirmed rumors that he might
decide at the last moment, not to
prosecute Albert Ulrich. the carpen-
ter. charged with the assault.
Il never told any one, the police,
or the reporters that 1 had received
2 letter. or q telegram to call on any
one in West 63rd street, said DR..
Washington. L did say that l was
looking for D. G. Smith, auditor of

could be found with friends and that
although 1 did not have their definite
names, or addresses believed 1 could

Az a matter of fact DR.. Washington
said later, amplifying his earlier state
ment he had received such letter,
but il did not figure in his search.
The letter. he said, was from his
Secretary E. ]. Scott. in Tuskegee, in
which Scott told him that Daniel
Smith. auditor of the institute would

DR.. Washington said the letter ar
rived in New York about the time he
did Unfortunately, he said, he tore
the letter up; it was written in long
hand and no copy was kept. AS
nearly as he could recall its contents,
the secretary wrote him that Smith
