Dear Sir:
l have been requested to make a
statement in The Times in regard to
the meeting of the Republican Sena-
torial Committee of the Fourth Sena-
torial District, held at Morristown,
Saturday,, April Is.
This Committee met as is it's GUS
tom, for the purpose Of calling a Re-
publican Senatorial Convention to
nominate a Republican candidate for
Senator, to represent the Fourth Dis
trict and each was represented at the
Committee meeting by the county
Committeeman or some one who held
his proxy. Mr.. Hughes represented
Cooke county; Mr.. Gilbreath, Jeff
erson county; Mr.. Sherwood, Ham
blen county; Mr.. Zirkle, Sewer coun-
ty and Ex-senator Crawford, Blount
county.
This Committee ordered each COZ n
ty to hold a county convention, May
27, to select delegates to meet at
Maryville, May 20, to nominate a
Republican candidate for Senator
from the Fourth district.
Then this Committee, which met at
Morristown, proceeded further. 1t
proceeded to change the number of
delegates, each county was entitled
to and decrease the number BlOunt
and Sewer, the two largest counties,
were entitled to, so that the three
small counties, Cooke, Hamblen and
jefferson, could control the conven-
ton. This was manifested by the
Committeeman representing these
three counties, for under the new ar
rangement they will be able to con-
troll the convention by the margin of
one vote. They changed it just
enough to suit their purpose.
Messrs. Crawford and Zirkle, re-
presenting Blount and Sewer, pro-
tested against this change and voted
against it, but their profess were al
together disregarded, despite the fact
that these two gentlemen represented
over a thousand more Republicans
than the other three gentlemen to-
gether despite the fact that the action
taken by the Committee was in direct
violation of the rule for apportion-
ment laid down by the Republican

storff, wife of the German ambassador,
by threatening to publish letters "al.
lcged to contain matter showing her
lnfirmities and failings."
Officials of the embassy also allege
that Graves had in his possession what
apparently were confidential coded
diplomatic dispatches from the Ger.
nan government to Count Won Bern
storff.
The prisoner told the federal agents
he obtained all the documents from
persons who had smuggled them past
the British censors on the steamship
Oscar II.
The warrant upon which he was ar
raigned and held on 81 900 bail for a
further hearing after he pleaded not
guilty, charges him also with bringing
into the District of Columbia letters
stolen in Hoboken, N. j., where the
Oscar II. docked.
New York-Dr. Armgaard Karl
Graves. the international spy" who
was arrested in Washington, returned
to his home at 65 West Sixty-ninth
street and made several sensational
declarations. First, he asserted, he
does not expect ever to have to an
swer the blackmail charge, for he
does not think the German embassy
officials will dare have him give his
translation of the three code letters
on the witness stand. He insisted
that there is not word rejecting
upon Countess Won Bernstorff in any
Of the letters.
They do contain Information about
certain stocks, he asserted. which
could be played as sure winners on
the American market because of Ger.
tain German activities to come about
in the near future. Also he declared
they contain diplomatic secrets OF
high Importance to this country.
Count Bernstorff. he charges, has
made millions of dollars with friends
in this country by playing stocks on
advance secret Information from Ger
many.
"Bernstorff knew twenty-four hours
before the U-53 appeared at Newport
that she was in American waters. and
he Cleaned, up in the market on this
advance information" Graves said.
