out in various ways since the Lexow
Committee adjourned last Thursday, 1t
is believed that Mr.. Goff is preparing a
spicy bill of fare for next weeks SEES
sions of the Committee.
The fact that he is a candidate on the
union ticket for the high Office of Re-
corder does not make any change In
the situation, as he himself declares and
his attitude towards the investigation is
the same as 1t always has been.
During the past week, while the
political conventions were being held

corroborative evidence Of the abuses
already exposed by the witnesses before
