AN INGENIOUS HOAX
THE “WHISPERING GALLERY.” (Rec. November 22, 8.15 p.m.) London, November 22. "We have been the victims of a most ingenious hoax,” was the salient sentence of a signed statement of two directors of the publishing firm of John Lane to-night, personally handed to the editor of the “Daily Mail.” They explained that the typescript of "The Whispering Gallery” reached them through a literary agent, who declined to submit tests which the directors suggested with a view to determining the authenticity of the book. The directors admit that. the “Dailv Mail’s” exposure was justified and that the book should never have been published. They are destroying every copy obtainable.—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
