The measurement of the branching ratio $\\mathcal{B} (\\tau \\to e \\bar{\\nu} \\nu \\gamma)$, for a minimum photon energy of 10 MeV in the $\\tau$ rest frame, differs from our recent SM prediction by 3.5 standard deviations, whereas our result agrees with Babar's value for $\\mathcal{B} (\\tau \\to \\mu \\bar{\\nu} \\nu \\gamma)$. Our predictions also agree with the measurement of $\\mathcal{B} (\\mu \\to e \\bar{\\nu} \\nu \\gamma)$ by the MEG collaboration.
