(Signed) New dated York, Oct. CARRAN! | WILLCOX ANSWERS BAKER STATEMENT | Republican Campaign Chief Says Sec- retary of War Is Biased On In Infamous Position, 27.—William R. ‘Willcox, chairman of the republican national committee, issued a state- ment today in reference to irent last night by Secretary of War Baker that definite information had J'cen recelved by the war department that a bandit attack upon American roops or on American border towns bad been arranged to take place be- fore election day by “enemies of the administration’s policy toward Mex co.” Mr. Willcox also made reference to Secretary of State Lansing's declar- ation tha the war departmen’ts {atement was not intended as sault upon the administration’s po- litical opponents. 5 “In view of Secretary Lansing’s statement in the morning paper: sald Chairman Willcox, “Mr. Baker was guilty of either amazing stupidity cr of a disingenuous attempt to gain votes for Mr. Wilson by misrepresen- tation. If Mr. Lansing 1is quoted correctly, he went over the Baker statement before it was issued, and the Baker statement therefore ap- pears to be the joint product of Mr. Wilson's two cabinet officers. There can be little doubt in the minds of any one what this statement was designed 1o accomplish. “The careful phrasing of Mr, Baker shows an attempt to make political capital out of what he appears to have regarded as an impending . dis- aster on the Mexican border. The political capital was to be gained by charging that enemies of Mr. Wilson's with regard to Mexico were behind it and that the attempt was to take place between now and elec- tion. Other parts of Mr. Baker statement-are susceptible of the same interpretation. “If, as Mr. Lansing says, Mr. Baker made this statément without compre- hending that it was a velled charge New York, Oct.

If, on the other hand, Mr. Baker deliberately attempted to cre- ate political capital out of a national disaster his position is infamous. Mr, Willcox added that if the war department had information in regard to the expetced attack “Tt is the duty of the administration to use every power of the government ot find out the guilty ones and punish them.” PLANE AND AIRSHIP FIGHT 3 MILES UP Italian Dirigible Bests Austrian Ma- chine in Battle at Height of More Than 15,000 Feet.
