In a recent interview with Everybody’s Magazine, President Roosevelt stated that William J. Long’s account of a wolf hunt was inaccurate. Long has included an affidavit from an eyewitness to the contrary, and hopes that “as a gentleman you will retract your accusation.” He plans to have an open letter on the matter printed in “every important newspaper in this country” the following day.
