money presented for political purposes.

Mr.. McCalrs statement was greeted
kith wild cheering, which continued
Fntil a threat was made to clear the

restrain itself.
With great care the account of An
drew \. Hamilton with the company
was analyZed by Mr.. Hughes who ask
ell Mr.. Mccall about every item and
made it clear that a search was being
made for political contributions.
Mr.. Mccall stoutly maintained that
he had given Mr. Hamilton no money

expenses at Albany were paid from

1t was shown that $235, 900 has been
paid to Hamilton with only a verbal
accounting to President Mccall, and
that at present Hamilton owes the
company about $60,OOO but Mr.. Mccall
said he felt sure that Hamilton. who is
