Nov. 30 Thede parture for Louisville of the last of the 24 governors who opened their national conference here hus left the impression here today that, either Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio, or W'oodrow Wilson of New Jersey, will be the democratic nominee for pres ident in 1912. The gathering of commonwealth executives, the most representative $ody of popular political sentiment perhaps ever assembled in America, discussed politics, . notwithstanding this' subject was tabooed- " ., The governors held a number of secret conferences after which many of them talked guardedly of natio nal political probabilities. Governor Shafroth, of Colorado, a leading democrat, admitted that the ' governors had discussed the availa bility of 1912 presidential timber. . "We discussed Governors Harmon, Wilson, and Dix, and Mayor Gaynor, of New York, too," declared Govern or Snafroth. "There are no more . able men in the country than those I have just mentioned, but it is too early now to begin casting about for nominees. The proper man will be selected at the right Alme." Governor Harmon, who received an ovation every time he appeared In public, said ho was averse to fore casting the national political events of the next two years. "You can't give the people too .much power for me," said he. "In the last analysis yon can always de- pond upon the people to do the right tiling ahd.to voto the right way." Many of thc expressions from the governors concentrated "" upon the subjects of greater power for the people and more stringent control of corporations. It was indicated that these will be two important planks in the next democratic national platform. ' Governors Wilson of Kentucky, (Continued on Page Seven.)

COOK . . g , Says He Does Not Know About Pole Says He .May Not Have Kwiclied the Pole, Hut Half Cruzcd by Months of Isolation and Hunger He Be lieved He Wus Successful Waut Confidence of the People. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. 30 "Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, after a year in hiding. has written his own story. It is to be printed in a series of articles in Hampton's Magazine the periodical that paid $50,000 for Commander Peary's story of his trip to the north pole. " , ., Dr. Cook in his story confesses that be does not know whether he reached the pole or not. The editors of Hampton's Magazine declare that this statement is the most inlensclv nuroan document they have ever read. In It Dr. Cook deals with the psychology of his adventure and de clares: "Did I get to the north polo? Perhaps I made a mistake in think ing that I did. Perhaps I did not make ' a mistake. After mature thought I coufess that I do not know absolutely whether I reached the pole or- not. This may come as an amazing statement, but I am willing to startle the world If by so doing I can get an opportunity to present my case. ! "By my case. I mean not my case as & geographical discoverer, but my case, as a man. Much as the attain ment of the north pole once meant to me, the sympathy and confidence of iny fellow men mean mote. ."Fully, freely and frankly I shall tell you everything. Toll you every thing and leave tho decision with you. ' -1 "If after reading my story you say: Cook is sincere and honest, if half "crazed' by months of isolation and. hunger, he believed ''that he reached the pole; he is not a fakir then I shall be satisfied." ' "I have been culled the greatest liar in the world, the most monumen tal imposter in history," gays Cook in beginning his confession. . "I believe that in a very undesirable way I stand unique, the object of such sus picion and vituperation as have as- railed few men." In hia "confession" Dr. Cool; tells the story of his life. He pictures the overpowering ambition for explora tion that always beset him while he was ladling out mulk in Brooklyn. I'hen he goes on to tell of his various exploring trips, until Anally the North Pole wanderlust came upon him. After that nothing could hold him back. He was determined to And the pole, he said. Finally he jitted out an expedition and started for the land of the midnight sun. Up there he hired two Eskimo youths and ftarted for the ninetieth degree. Cook says this expedition was the climax of a two years quest for Hie pole, during which time he had en dured hunger and privation which, he says, would unbalance any mind. He makes the assertion that it would be impossible for any man to demon strate beyond question that he had been to the pole.

Eastw ti'ambridge, Mass., Nov. 30 Hattle 1 Lebranc, the seventeen-year-old : French-Canudlan girl who Is charged with murdering Clarence Glover, who was Infatuated with her. won the first big po(nt in her fight for life today In criminal court here when Judge Bond ruled that Glover's dying statement:- "Hattle Lcblanc shot me" should be excluded from the evi dence. Following this lawyers who are watch- Ing the ease predicted that the girl would be acquitted. District Attorney Higgins fought all day yesterday and half of today to gain, admission of the statement hi ; the testimony. , Everyone present seemed to realize that the fate of the young girl hung in the balance. The usual 'eagerness of the great crowd that fought for seats in the court room to get a glimpse of the prisoner as she entered court was not apparent. The itttlo prisoner was dressed as she had been on previous days. Bhe appeared more grave and the fact that the Crisis In her case had been reached seemed impressd upon her.

Tne secretary stated that its only need was good roads and that these would vastlv increase land values. Dr. Pratt showed in a:l m liable ways how roads developed not only property values but educa tion, religion and social life. He spoke ot the groat work done by tho good roads division of the geograph ical .survey of the innumerable culls of the counties lor Lie services ot its road engineering of Lie hue work these were doing and showed that with an appropriation of only $5,000 now, these -experts have saved to the counties and hence to the state ?oO, 000 this year. He said state super vision of the highways is as proper and necessary as that of the public schools -which the slate lias so;. won derfully developed by such, supervis ion.' He made u strong plea for an increase of the state appropriation for this good roads work, saying that if $35,000 were allowed, ten times that figure would be saved in one year.. -."-.' "'..

'He urged the meeting to do all in its power in assisting in the organization of the "Raleigh and Wake County Good Roads Associa tion at the mass meeting to he held in the court house next Monday, De cember 5, at 12 o'clock. Dr. Pratt's striking talk was given very close attention by the represen tatives of the city and county. Hon. K.

The side lines over which the great vol ume of freight moved, he said, have been suppressed. The fast freight train service has been encouraged on all lines, in Mr. Ives' opinion,: but it is irregular and not generally ac ceptable to all classes of shippers. George A.
