'William R. WlUcox, chairman of the Republican national committee, Issued a state ment today In reference to Secretary Baker's statement issued last night: "In view of Secretary Lansing's statement in the morning papers," he said, "Mr. Baker wa guilty either of amazing stupidity or of a dislngen ious attempt to gain votes for Mr. Wilson by misrepresentation. .If Mr. Lansing is quoted correctly he went over the Baker statement before it was issued and the Baker statement therefore appears to be the joint pro duct of Mr. Wilson's two cabinet of ficers. "There can be little doubt In the minds of anyone what this statement was designed to accomplish. The careful phrasing of Mr. Baker shows an attempt to make political capital out of what he appears to have re garded as an impending disaster on the Mexican border. This political capital was to have been gained by enemies of Mr. Wilson's policy as re gards Mexico and the attempt was to take place between now and election. Other parts of Mr. Baker's statement are susceptible of the same interpre tation. "If Mr. Lansing says Mr. Baker made his statement without compre hending that it was a veiled chargo against American citizens, thereby im plying the infamous guilt of treason, then Mr. Baker has once more display ed the remarkable bias of mind which prompted him to make his unpatriotic statement, regarding Revolutionary soldiers in hie statement in Jersey City. If, on the other hand, he at tempted to CTeate political capital out of disaster his. position is infamous.'' Mr. Willcox said that, if the war de partment had information in regard to the expected attack, "it is the only duty of the administration to use ev ery power of the government to find out the guilty - parties and punish them."
