fall? was asked of former Attor-

the Body House. This Is extreme

will have TO resign from the ticket

LACK OF FUNDS
HITCHCOCK EXPLAINS THE nE-
LAY OF BEGINNING OF RE
PUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.

Chicago. Sept. 22.--That the
funds necessary to defray the ex-
penses OF long. vigorous campaign
have not beah forthcoming was
very frankly admitted yesterday by
Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock. OF
the Republican national committee. >.
The statement was made in expla-
nation OF the delays that have at
tended the beginning OF the cam
palgn work In most OF the states.
NO APOLOGY TO MAKE
Il have no apologies to make, -
he said. We knew long ago. that
we could not waste our funds, and
for that reason we decided that the
proper thing TO do was TO get the
states in shape for an effective cam
paign for the last month preceding
election. To that end l have de-
voted most of my time to the ad-
justment of factional differences in
large number OF states, where the
Republicans were not pulling tot
gether."
Chairman Hitchcock expressed
the opinion that II an active cam
paign could be carried on for thir-
~ days-that is for the month OF
October-the Republican national
ticket would be successful in all OF
the normally Republican states. and
most of the states that have been
put in the doubtful column by con
servative politicians.
That was the theory when our
plans were outlined at conferences
which ! had with the party leaders
at Colorado Springs, Chicago. Bos-
ton and other places" said Mr..
Hitchcock 1T costs n great deal
OF money to keep a large speaking
force going and even n | had
thought IL necessary / would not
have been able TO start the paid
men before October !. But | have
not thought 4 necessary. and all of
the leaders OF the party with whon
1 have conferred. agree with me-"
THE RUMOR NOT TRUE
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts,
yesterday made statement whic1
effectually disposes OF the widely
published story that his visit 10
Western headquarters OF the Repub-
lican national committee presages q
reorganization and the subordina-
tion of Chairman Hitchcock's au-
thority to that of other Republican
leaders. 1t follows

quest of Chairman Hitchcock with

visory committee. associated and
who wished to consult with me re-
garding the campaign Mr.. Taft.
