New York, April 10.-The political at mosphere, on this the eve of the repub- lican state convention, has been heavy with rumors of dissention and for a time today there were reports that a light would occur on the convention floor tom9rrow, against the indorsement of rba9rnor Hughes for the presidential n9o ati@n. Tonight the air has clear .sl EL, 3ral Al1pgrammS win ge S'ariea G7 br5b ably without hitch.
 Reports that the preairanged plan to indorse Governor Hughes would be up- set grew out of opposition in certain quarters to those slated to be delegates at large. At meeting of the executive committee of the Hughes league at which resolutions were adopted leaving the se lection of delegates at large to the state conventionf and the arrival of Con- gressman J.

.FOR PUBLICITY OF
 CAMP PA|GN FUNDS Hearing on Mccall Bill Con- tinues In House Committee VIEWS OF BOuRkE COCHRAN New Yorker Discusses Amendment To Bill Relating To Presidential Elect
 ors, But Mr. Hardwick of
 Georgia Objects.
VIEWS OF BOuRkE COCHRAN

Washington, April 10.-The question as to whether requirement. for pub licity of campaign contributions could be made to include candidates for presidential electors was brought prom inently forward today in the hearing before the House committee on the elec- tion of President and Vice President and members of Congress, which is considered in the Mccall bill calling for publicity of contributions to carf9aign funds for candidates to Congress- Rep tended that an amendment providing for contributions to the campaign funds or candidates for presidential electol s would be constitutional, but this posi- tion was attacked by Representative Hardwick of Georgia, who claimed that the supreme court of the United States holds that the election of presidential electors is a matter within the juris- dction of a state. MT. Cochran ad- nlitted that the court ruled on this point, but maintained that the effect Of its decision was that the state has authority co-jointly with the United States government to supervise such election. He objected to the provision of the Mccall bill which provides that persons, companies, associations or or ganizations which shall in two or moIe states influence the result. or attempt to influence the result of any election in which any members of Congress are to be elected" shall file statement Of same under oath with the clerk of the House of Representatives. He said tha :. under this provision the desired result of publicity could not be obtained. To meet this objection Chairman Gaines asked Perry Belmont, president of the Publicity league, which is favoring the Mccall bill, if he would be willing to have the bill so amended as to strike cut the words fin two or more states" and make 1t cover any election. MT. Cochran favored this amendment. and MT. Belmont said it was satisfactory to him.
 Former Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who also is supporting the Mccall bill, gave notice that he did not approve proposition that the bill should be so amended as to include state committees, and in this MT. Bel- mont agreed with him, saying that the object was to secure publicity of con- tributions to national committees.
 During the course of MT. Belmont's argument he drew simile between man who commits burglary and one who commits an offense against cleo tion laws.
 q want to interrupt you there," said Chairman Gaines. 'I have often heard that comparison made, and I wish to say that whenever anyone commits rob bery, the whole public wishes to see linn prosecuted. Whenever anyone commits an offense against the eec- tion laws, unfortunately the whole rublic does not wish to see him con- victed."
