Trenton, N. J-. Jan. ?W.-*-As If to heap
eoala of flic nn the head of Colonel Henry
Watteraon, Governor Wilson has been
:isk??I to K'> ilKht Into the colonel's own
state and speak to the memberB of the
Kentucky Legislature. The Invitation to
GkrrernOf Wilson tame In the form of a
dispatch signed by W. Arnett, chairman of
the Invitation committee, and was received
at the Governor's office this afternoon.
The dispatch said the members of the
K? ntuckv I-epislature would be pleased to
hear Qovernor Wilson on any date he
nilt?ht ?elect.
When liovernor Wilson was aske?! about
Colonel Watterson's statement, published
this morning, he would only say: "A state?
ment like that admits of no comment from
me." In answer to ,1 question from one of
the newspaper nun the (?overnor said:
I am absolutely willing, so far as
Colonel Wattcrson Is concerned, that he
should publish anything that he has. I am
only sorry to have to regret a friendship
that while It lasted I found Interesting
and enjoyable."
When Qovernor Wilson ivas shown
copy of a newspaper containing the Harvvy
letters this afternoon lie laughingly said:
"Oh, I have read those letters before."
his only other coinnu-nt waa that they
????re publishi'l with his knowledge and ap?
proval.
The Wilson supporters around the capital
to-day appeared to be greatly pleased at
the publication of Colonel Watterson a
statement and the Harvey letters, ami
more than one of them expressed tl*e opin?
ion that Colonel Watterson had been by
hla own words effectually "knocked Into a
?'.? k?d hat." The (Jovernor's friend* -nald
the puMlaaUen of these communications
had aided the Qovernor in his ambition to
be ths Paaaacratlc nominee for cre.si.ient.
Governor Wilson Will leave for Richmond1
to-morrow night. H* will addreaa the Vir?
ginia Legislature on Thursday, and on Fri?
day night will speak at the dinner of the
