Louisville, January 17.-That he had hoped to find in Woodrow Wilson an other "Tilden'', but found rather "a scboolmaster more than a statesman was. the declaration of Henry Waiter son, veteran Kentucky editor. and southern democrat, in a statement made here today to the press in connection with the break between Governor Will son and Col. George Harvey.
 "Regretting that I must appear either as witness or party to the misunder- standing which has arisen between Col. George Harvey and Gov. Woodrow Will son. reads the statement, q shall have to speak with some particularization in order to be just, alike to the public and to the principles involved.
 T have from Colonel Harvey and Governor Wilson statements according to the memory of each, touching what did actually happen, and was spoken of on the occasion named.
 Statements the Same
 These do not materially differ. They coincide with my own recollection. Nothing of discourteous nature (even of an unfriendly character) passed dur ing an interview of more than an hour. From the first, however, there was certain constraint visible in Governor Wilson's manner the absence of the eordiality and candor which should mark hearty confidential intercourse, intimating the existence of some ad- verse influence.
 His manner was autocratic if not tyrannous. l did not take this to my self, but thought it related to Colonel Harvey, and when Colonel Harvey app parently overcome by Governor Will sons austerity, put the direct question to Governor Wilson whether the sup port of Harper's Weekly was doing him an injury and received from Governor Wilson the cold rejoinder that 1t was. l was both surprised and shocked.
 T had myself, as far back as Octo- Der, suggested to Governor Wilson that, in view of his supposed environment. it might be wise for Colonel Harvey to moderate somewhat the rather az gressive nature of Harper's Weekly in the Wilson leadership.
 Suggested Moderation
 ''I am not certain that l had not said as much to Colonel Harvey himself, out that Governor Wilson, without the least show of compunction, should express or yield to such an opinion and permit Colonel Harvey to consider himself dis charged from the position of trusted in- timacy he had up to this moment held, left me little room to doubt that Gov ernor Wilson fs not ( fnau who makes common cause with his political assoei- ates. or Is deeply sensible of his political obligations, because it is but true and fair to say that except for Colonel Harvey he would not be in the running at all.
 "Colonel Harvey was grievously wound- ed. He had been fighting Governor Will sons battles for many years and had idealized his chief Although I was gwen no reason to suppose myself included h the disfavor which has fallen upon Colonel Harvey, yet I experienced a sense of something akin to indignation. Upon re- fiection, however, 1 could not rid my self of the impression that Governor Will son had been receiving letters from Ken lucky written by enemies of mine, who seek to use his name and fame to gain some ends of their own, warning him against me and that to all intents I sar in the same boat with Colonel Harvey.
 Receives Wilson's Demand
 q am in receipt of Governor Wilson's averment to the contrary. I wish this had reached me earlier I have. refused to print word in the hope that no publicity might be required, and that some under standing could be reached. l have reason to believe that Colonel Harvey withheld
