Captain R. H. Leigh-took which “rew witne “ wiem members to the floor. Three were heard, however, two of throwing additional light on the fineneing of Major General Wood's cam- fpaign for the republican nomination, ‘While the third brought additional infor- mation as to activities for Senator Hard- ing and Governor Lowden in Missouri. From C. H. Duell of New York, former- 1y connected with the Wood financial ar- rangements, the committee got the state- 'ment that General Wood was present at @ discussion at the home of Ambrose E. Monell in New York last fall where ways and - means of finanging his . campaign were talked over. A formar meeting at- tended by Duell, Monell and Robert Cas- att ot ¥hiladelphia had been called, the Wwitness said, and at this meeting Monell Broposed that a certain numbper of men be asked to “underwrite” the Wood cam- paign expenses to the extent of $500,000. Cassatt finally declined to enter into the arrangement, Duell said, and his recol- lection w that General Wood came in iater, atter meeting. Discussion of the luancia. side of the campaign had Ceatinuci. he added, but he could not re- ea’'t anytlng that General ‘Wood migit hzve said in that connection. Questions by Sénator Reed, democrat, Missouri, drew from the witness a state- ment that in view of the general nature of the conversation General Wood could not have failed to know its purport and the amounts being discussed as necessary to raise.

Morse, manager of the Lowden campaign outside of St. Louis, was from Lowden funds, or that it was given him with any under- standing it was to be used in the Tllinois governor's behalf. Te had regarded the money as personal contribution from Morse, he said, o aid in the republican fight to fiil a vacaney in the Third Mis- souri congressional district. which Morse had insisted -that Cole eonduet. As to $1,250 which the witness said he had received from Harry M. Daugherty, manager for Senator Harding, Cole de- clared it was given him to use in trying to make the senatqr the second choice of the Missouri delegation and after he had t9ld Daugherty that he believea” Missouri was “sewed up” for Lowden. ‘The other witness as to Wand financing. was W. B. Burtt of Chit g, who de- scribed himself as “assist.” . ana confi- dcn!iul man” for Monell. His testimony, he insisted, could add nothing to matter already furnished to the committee, but he Jeft some accounts with the committee for study. - Two other prospective Wwitnesses whose testimony is still to be taken ‘were heard | from during the day. A Montreal mes- ge from Horace S. Stehbins, eastern treasurer of the Lincoln-Wood league, and vainly sought by subpoena sersers for several days, said he would appear tomorrow, while Warren Gregory, con- nected with the Hoover campaign . in California, telegraphed from Boston that ::n: y;::, ‘v\a‘s 1ou his way.
