HoBSoN'S TESTIMONY AS
TO SUBMARINES REFUTED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
statement of Representative Richmond
Hobson of Alabama before the special
committee of the house investigating
the charges made by Representative
Lilley of Connecticut that he had been
approached by representative of the
Electric Boat company who offered to
use his influence with the the speaker
to have Mr. Hobson placed on the ma
val affairs committee if he ''stood right
for submarines was contradicted be-
fore that committee today by Lawrence
Spear, the former naval officer VINO,
Mr.. Hobson said, had spoken to him.
Mr.. Spear said he had not made any
promises to secure the influence of
Speaker Cannon, or any one else, and
that he had never tried to influence
them; in fact, he said, he did not know
the speaker.
The other two witnesses of the day
were A. A. Early and Frank B. Lord,
two of the newspaper men who Mr..
Lilley charged he had been warned
against as in the pay Of the Electric
Boat company.
Early denied he had even been in the
employ of the company, but said last
summer he had distributed some arti-
cles on submarine boats to newspaper
men for Mr.. McNeir, for which he had
said he had never received any further
money from any one connected with
the Electric Boat company. He said
he had no knowledge of a newspaper
lobby, as charged by Mr.. Lilley. He
said that as a result of Mr.. Lilley' 8
charges he had lost his place with the
press association by which he was en-
ployed.
Lord denied that he had ever been in
the employ of the Electric Boat COM
pany, although he said that he had
prepared some feature" stories about
submarine boats for Mr.. McNeir, which
had been furnished to newspapers and
published, but in none of the papers
represented by him. These articles, he
said, were not written with the view of
influencing legislation, but were pre-
pared, as he understood it, to meet the
requests of newspaper men for stories
on submarines. He denied that he be-
longed to a newspaper lobby for the
purpose of coloring.
Regarding an interview which he
said he had with Mr.. Lilley in which
charges were made against Representa-
tives Sherman, Griggs and others, and
which Mr.. LilIev had repudiated. Mr..
Lord said the interview was absolutely
correct.
Mr.. Lord stated that as the result of
Mr.. Lilley's charges that he was in the
employ of the Electric Boat company
he had lost his position. In answer to
a question propounded by Mr.. Littleton,
Mr.. Lord said a complaint Mr.. Lake
had made to his paper about something
he had written concerning the Lake
boat also may have been instrumental
in having him discharged.
Mr. Lord said he could not remember
the exact amount he had received from
Mr.. McNeir for writing the special sto-
ries, but thought it was between $500
and $500.
The committee adjourned until
Thursday.
