(Htiutaa Pott Sfseta; )
WASHINGTON. January IS -The Wilson-Harvey
episode brought forth today
simultaneously with the arrival of Col-
onel Henry Watterson. a statement by
William F. MeComba campaign manager
for Woodrow Wilson declaring that ' The
tears that are being shed over tne pass-
ing Incident are wrung from those who
have hitherto been the most conspicuous
opponents of Governor Wilson ."
Colonel Watteraon. who will be here

one made today at Nashville. Tenn . by-
Judge Robert E. Wing but declined to

' As to the WllsTm matter." said the
colonel. "1 have nothing to add to what
alreTdy has been said unless 1' be so
seriously challenged by some respon-
aible person. Then I may have a good
deal to say "
Statement by McCombs.
The statement Issued b Mr McCombs
follows:
' With reference to the alleged Wilson-
Harvey incident. It seems to me that
Colonel Watterson has said in a statement
all ttiat needs to be said It appears
therefrom that as far back s last Octo-
ber he himself suggested to io ernor
Wilson thst Colonel Harvey s support
thrjugh Harpers Weekly might he In-
jurious and that he prubably told Colonel
Harvey himself the same thing. It would
seem thst Colonel Watterson bad con-
vinced the governor of the truth of his
opinion and hajLat least impressed Col-
onel Harvey witTi the probability f its
truth else Colonel liarvev would not
have propounded the quest on It is pass-
ing strange that Colonel Watterson should
feel concerned that the gov ernor in priv-
ate conversation with himself ai d Colonel
Harvev should in answer lo a pointed
question give frank expressior

avernor
Henrv Vwtterson. today gave out
gave
statement relative to ti e Harvey
Incl-
dent.
"It so happens." says the statement
"that 1 am prepared to give to the peo-
ple of Tennessee what I believe to be a
substantially correct account of a meet-
ing which took place In New York cttv
some laree veeeks ago between Colonel
Harvev . the able and well known editor
of Harpers Weekly; Henry Watterson.
editor of the Courier Journal and Gov-
ernor V. llson."
Judge Kwlng savs that the publish-
ing houe of Harper & Brothers which
Issues Harpers Weekly was the pub-
lisher of Wilson's history of the United
States. Some years ago it was reported
that J P. Morgan furnished the house
with some financial aid. but not as was
general! understood with any political
purpose ln view. The statement con-
tinues: "Coloi.-d Harvey's Intimates knowing
Ms chat ioter. well knew that his edito-
rial utterances were wholly untram-
melled a id that whatever he wrote had
as Its h ydration his sincere conviction
of what was best for the cTJuntry. He
had beer years before brought into In-
timate i nriectlon. ln fact close friend-
ship wit! Woodrow Wilson and had con-
ceived t! e highest estimate of his char-
acter ar.'l capabilities as every one who
enjovs like opportunity is bound to do.
"When the time seemed ripe to him.
In a series of editorials In Harper s
Weekly presented Woodrow Wilson's
name to the democrats of the country as
the man. m his judgment in every way
fit to be nominated as the democratic
candidate for president. These editorials
continued 'o appear growing stronger and
stronger until the attention of readers
everywhere was drawn to them. Many
not knowing the real independence of
Colonel Harvey and seeking to harm the
Wilson cause began to indulge ln all
sorts of conjectures as to what could be
moving the weekly to so ardently cham-
pion Wilson's nomination while others
did not hesitate to put these conjectures
Into unfounded Intimation. As a result
a goodly number of Wilson's friends be-
gan to be of the opinion that perhap the
weekly's constant and earnest support
was
