MCAFFERTY WILL APPLY FOR A LICENSE. J. A. Wernberg Says the Jockey Club Will Bo Presented With Evidence of Innocence. New York, March 23. Jerry A. Wernberg, the Brooklyn lawyer, who owned a large stable of race horses trained by J. J. McCafferty when that horseman was disciplined by the Los Angeles racing authorities recently, said today that McCafferty had been unfairly treated, not only by the Los Angeles Jockey Club, but by the Pacific Jockey Club officials,- who later ruled him off for life. Mr. Wernberg denied most emphatically that the horse The Huguenot was doped, as charged. He says that Seymour Buetler, who represents Robert Plnk-erton at the tracks, will be an important witness for McCafferty wheti the case comes before the Jockey Club here upon McCaffertys return to the east. He said that McCafferty will ask for a license upon his arrival, and that this action will then draw out all the evidence in the case. "No analysis was made to detect the alleged dope," added Mr. Wernberg. "In our stable The Huguenot ran 15 times and was placed 13. He was the most consistent horse we ever had. We presented affidavits that McCafferty had not been near the stable when The Huguenot was alleged to have been doped."
