THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
New York, Aug. 12.-The Potter inycs
tigating committee resumed its session this
morning, but in the absence of several
members. no witnesses were examined.
Gen. Butler asked that Stanley Matthews
be summoned. Mr.. Potter said the senator
had been summoned on Saturday, and he
replied that an important engagement,
at Newport would prevent him
attending, and whatever he intended
to do he deemed of no consequence to the
committee. From this reply Mr.. Potte,
said he inferred that senator Mathews die
not intend to respond to the summons.
Gen. Butler remarked that if Matthews
answer meant that he would not attend OF
obey the summons of the house of represen.
tatives, the sooner this issue was made the
better for the house and senate, 60 that the
powers of both can be determined. If the
house has not the power to compel the at.
tendance Of witnesses then the in.
vestigation is useless and suhiec,
to suspicion. He did not know what Gre.
dit give to certain newspaper articles be
had seen. but if they were true, Matthews
had been testifying to newspaper reporters
He tells to them as much as he pleases, and
we want him here to tell as much as tn.
committee pleases. He therefore moved
that it be entered on record that Matthews
refused to appear before the committee, and
that the same be reported to the house fol
their action in the matter.
Potter remarked that he would entertain
Buffers motion, but thought it better t.
await the presence of Hiscock and Stcngel
before voting on it. He therefore adjourned
the committee till II o'clock tomorrow
The committee then went into executiv,
session.
