ACCUSES MSS EDERLE
 OF FALLING TO TRAIN
Jabez Wolfe Denies Girl Swimmers Charge
 Blaming Him

Brighton, England, Sept. 19 P-- Jabcz Wolfe, trainer of Gertrude Ederle, today denied her allegations that she was taken from the water during her recent attempt to swim the English Channel when she was still able to go on with her efforts.
 Wolfe said to the Associated Press:
 At the sixth hour of the swim Miss Ederle complained of cramp and I begged her to carry on a lit tic longer and see if she would re- cover it. At the eighth hour she was suffering intense agony, purely owing to lack of condition. After eight hours and forty-five minutes she collapsed.
 'I gave no instructions for Helmy (the Egyptian swimmer) to touch her, but from the humane point of view, as there was risk of her be- l ing drowned, Helmy went 10 her aid, I was standing by on small boat and immediately got 10 her and put NiiC iilC 0hN iliS HfE1l bt'b NiA iiNi' ''' she was unconscious.
 Her statements are quite untrue. | I take it her story was meant to cover her compliance with my repeated efforts to get her to train. It was evident both to the French and English observers. that her training consisted mainly of sitting about and playing the ukulela.
 "One has only to observe the pie lures of her collapse in the papers 10 see that she was incapable of making any further effort, Handley, Miss Ederle's coach, was not pres ert and Miss Niets, her attendant, was on tug about eighty yards away at the time of the collapse and therefore not in a position to judge of Miss Ederle's condition. "I am of the opinion that had Miss Fderle followed my instructions and not been interfered with hy her coach and other advisers she would have succeeded in swimming
 the Channel. I still think she is ca
 rahle of doing so. if she is properly
 trained"

On her arrival in New York Fri day on board the steamer Maure- tania Miss Ederle asserted that she could have kept on swimming and that there was no truth in the story that she collapsed. She added that Relmy was swimming with her and that she was going strong when Wolfe suddenly shouted; "Grao her!"
