Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1907-07-15

Santa Fe, n. NJ, July 15.-(Spec-
ial.) l.)-Governor Hagerman has posi-
lively refused to tell what he did with
the contingent expense fund of his Of
flee and how he expended the monies
appropriated by the legislature to de-
fray his OFFICIAL contingent ex-
penses.
1t appears now as though 1t would
not be necessary for Hagerman to
give the information desired since
some OF the expenditures are coming
to light in the executive office in
documents unwittingly left behind by
the late boy governor when he pack
ed the little valise and the experts
report.
The Citizens correspondent in
gathering information along this line,
found some matters of an interesting
nature although 1t Is believed the
acting governor, II he would do SO,
could make public a great deal more.
The acting governor simply smiles.
For instance, the Citizens cores
pondent has learned on absolutely
good authority that among the things
treasured by the late boy governor,
was a list containing the names Of
DEMOCRATIC territorial, county and
precinct committeeman and party
leaders Just why this list should be
can governor is as neat a little puzzle
as How old is Ann?"
Then too, it is pretty well under
stood here that campaign literature,
absolutely hostile to the republican
party was sent out quietly by Hag-
erman and his sympathizers to a
large number of people.
1t Is even insinuated that this lit
erature is being turned up in good
sized quantities but whether or not
this is the case, the Citizens cor
respondent has been unable to ascer-
tain.
by far the most interesting matter
in connection with the contingent ex-
pense fund of the late IL. j. Hag-
erman, however, is the kilograms
which he sent out in large numbers
at territorial expense.
The Citizens correspondent secur-
ed copies of some of the most III
teresting. but there are others.
The telegrams read as follows:
