But Gen. Wadsworth's whisper was 10 the
effect that he really could not have anything
more to do with raising money for the CAM

committee had forgotten that Congressmsa
may not lawfully collect money from
offlceholders and others for election
purposes. Even Gen. Hustled. who can see q

point. And that Is the reason he was surprised.
and that Is the reason he whistled. ,l.

Hermann Oerichs. the representative Of New
York State in the Democratic National Com
mittee has resigned from the committee. The
resignation is commonly attributed by pollti-
clans to personal feeling growing out Of Diff
ference OF opinion between Congressman
Flower and Committeeman Oelriohs over the
new site for the Custom House and Appraisers
stores. but Mr. Oelrichs's letter gives quite
another reason. 1t says:
