'Sept. 2 —Democratic ~ wit- nesses today were unable to present to the serate committee investigationg the campaign expenditures the data on’ which Governor Cox 'based his, charges of a $15,000.000 republican campaign fund, because of the adjournment of the com- mittee until Tuesday.

The committee heard Senator Poin- dexter and Herman Hencke, treasurer of Indiana, the National Young Men's Republican League, and then adjourned.

A sticker campaign for the nomi- nation is being conducted, however, by James Jackson, former chairman of the New England division of the Red Cross, and Frederick N. Kerr, an unsuccessful candidate in the primaries last year. The republican state commitiee has not endorsed either Jackson or Kerr, but yes- terday sent a lette rto Burrell suggesting that he withdraw his candidacy. Burrell said today that he -yould not withdraw. appear SCANTY RECEIPTS AT CHICAGO CAUSE SOARING GRAIN PRICES Chicago, Sept. 2—Aetive demand from houses with seaboard connections fed to soaring prices today in the wheat market. The close was nervous, 4 3-4 to 6 1-4 cents nmet higher, with Decem- ber 239 3-4 to 2.40 and March 2.37. Corn gained 3-8 to 1 3-4 cents and oats 1-8 to 1-4 cents. In provisions, the out- come varied from $1.25 decline to 27 cents advance. ) Aside from indications of a continued good export demand for wheat, the scantiness of receipts here counted as a decided bullish influence, and so, too. did the fact that rural offerings were extremely light at all western points Only cighty cars of wheat arrived today in Chicago, an abnormally small numbef when both winter and spring _wheat crops are on the move. With drought reports from Argentina tending further to emphasize bullish sentiment, except for a brief show of hesitancy at the start in sympathy with feed grain, the wheat market advance was nearly continuous throughout the day. Unfavorable crop reports from Towa and Tilinois did much to make the corn market “harden,. -At-first; however, }ib- eral receipts forced . some ~deliveries to. the lowest price level yet this season. Oats merely reflected the action of corn. Pork underwent a severd drop as a re- sult of distress selling by holders. On the other hand lard and ribs scored gains, and there was talk of a better foreign inquiry.
