A. Gillesple of New York, holder of the contract for third-tracking the L roads on a basis of profit of 15 per cent. of the cost, wrote to his brother, D. L. Gillespie of Pittsburgh, that Mr. Quigg was “the nearest man to Gov.-elect Whitman.” Less than two months later, when the Thompson committee was get- ting ready to come to New York and investigate subway and L road thin- tracking contracts, Mr. Gillespie handed Mr. Quigg a check for $2,500. It appears from correspondence, part of which is shown in fac simile herewith, that shortly after the election of 1914 D, L.

L. |Gillespie, before extending a formal invitation, wrote to T. A. Gillespie, his kinsman, in New York for advice. | And what did Mr. T. A. Gillespie, who is New York-wise, do? He sat jdown and wrote, on Nov. 18, the following letter to Lemuel Ely Quigg: Nov. 18, 1914. Mr. Lemuel E. Quigg, No. 32 Nassau Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Quigg: I inclose you a letter and as you keep in close touch with the gentleman named (Gov. Whitman) and I know he ie such a busy man, what do you advise me to do in the matter? I may say the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Pittsburgh is a very large body, composed of some of the ablest and weelthiest men tn Western Pennsylvania, Will you telephone me when you get this, advising me the best way to go about this aa I really think it will be worth while for Mr. Whitman to consider it, Very truly yours, (Signed) T. A. GILLESPIB. THE “NEW YORK-WISE"” GILLESPIE SEES QUIGG, Mr. Quigg did not delay in handing out the wished for advice. Within twenty-four hours Mr. T. A. Gillespie in New York was able to write the following letter to Mr. D. L. Gillespie tn Pittsburgh: Nov. 19, 1914 (PERAONAL & OONFIDHINTIAL,) Mr, D, L. Gillespie, Heary W. Oliver Buliding, Pittsburgh, Pa Dear LAn: Confidentially, I have just talked to Lemuel Quigg, who j@ the nearest man to Gov.-elect Whitman, and he advises against Whitman accepting your invitation. He is one of his closest advisers, and says it 1s almost impossible to get near Whitman for the office. seokers running after him, but I got in touch with Quigg yesterday and again to-day amd I do not think you need depend upon him. Quigg says it 1s only about a week or ton days after the opening of the Legislature, #o he will be very busy and it would look pretty bad to run around the country making speeches before he had gotten set- tied in Albany. So | think you will have to cut this out. If it should develop a little later that he can do it, of course I will keep it in mind. WUl wire you to-day with reference to thie, Yours, (Signed) T. A, GILLESPIE. Evidenty the Pittsburgh Gillespie, not being New York-wise and there- fore unaware of the peculiar usefulness of Mr. Quigg in certain directions, was not satisfled with a declination by Lemuel B. Quigg of an invitation intended for the Governor-elect of the State of New York. He wrote again to Mr. T. A. Gillespie, aud, on Nov. 25, Mr. T. A. Gillespie wrote in reply: v. 25, 1914 (PFIRSONAL,) | Mr, D, L, Gilleepte, Henry W. Oliver Building, Pittsbureh, 1a, Dear Lin: [ just talked with Mr. Quigg « ‘ourt about 4 o'clock to-day, He says he has d ) Gov.-elect Whitman and that he will not ac of the nature you speak of for perhaps six months, He has asked me and see the Governor-elect himself on Monday when he returna y and it might show up, and If so, [ will, of course, discuss it and recommended it, but [am sure the only thing he will do will be to drop it, for he will not go against the advice of his friends. This is personal and confidential, and you will please not use Mr, 1am sorry I could not do more for you. Yours, (Signed) T, A. GILLESPIE. THE GILLESPIE CHECK AND QUIGG RUBBER STAMP, ‘This appears to have wound up the negotiations, and the Pittsburgh Gillespie did not use Mr, Quigg's name. But the New York Gillispie was not long in getting into “touch” with Lemuel Ely Quigg again, Karly in January-—-a year ago—it became apparent in Albany that a legistat! commit was coming down to New York to probe subway Jeontracts and also the contract for third tracking the lines, which aad been given to Mr. Gillesple on @ basis of profit of 15 per cent. of the he only got out cussed the matter ept any invitation | Quigg’s name, / tain ie As te
