J. 38(113), No. 4, 705-712 (1988; Zbl 0677.05021)] proved that a star-like tree on $2^n$ vertices with bipartition into equally large sets spans the $n$-cube graph $Q_n$. The same result was independently proved by {\it F. Harary} and {\it M. Lewinter} [Comput. Math. Appl. 15, No. 4, 299-302 (1988; Zbl 0645.05032)]. Unfortunately, the latter proof uses a false lemma—a counterexample is given in this paper. rv: M.Škoviera (Bratislava)
