lSMAY'S STATEMENT.

New York, April 21.-In a statement
given out. here tonight, j. Bruce Is
may replies to various published state
ments regarding the Titanic disaster,
particularly those in which his name
has prominently figured. He denies
that he had anything to do with the
navigation of the vessel; consulted
with her captain regarding her con-
duct at sea or made suggestion as to
the course or other navigation of the
ship He exercised no privileges which
did not belong to any other first cabin
passenger, he declares; he did not sit
at the captains table and he was not
dining with him at the time of the
accident and, indeed was in bed When
the collision occurred. He had ne idea
of returning to Europe quickly to
avoid appearing at the senatorial in
veStigation, he adds, and only knew
that the investigation was pending

renee of so horrible disaster.
