Dr Cook Revealed in New York Two Week Stay
United Press reports Hampton's Magazine plans publish Dr Frederick A Cook's confession that he may not have reached the North Pole. Cook spent two undisguised weeks in New York and Troy, with Hampton and Ray Long facilitating a careful unmasking by travel and concealment. The tale shows Cook mingling with crowds, using assumed names, and dictating stories before returning to London. Hampton asserts Cook sought publication over money, though his health has worn after a strenuous year.
