The behaviourist expect the monkeys to go to the wire monkey because it frovides them food. Behaviourists believe in the reward/punishment method, in which positive reinforcement, makes people or monkey's repeat an action because they are rewarded. In this case, the monkeys are being rewarded by the food in the wire monkey. So because they are getting rewarded by food, they will go to the wire monkey when frightened. The monkeys went to the cloth mother when they were frightened proving that the behaviourists theory is flawed. The monkeys went to the cloth mother because of the comfort they got from it and not because of any reward.
