TO SIT TREASURER'S RECORD

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, September &c. N. Has.
kell. treasurer of the democratic national
committee and governor Of Oklahoma,
has been summoned to Chicago to confer
with leaders of the party concerning the
charges made against him by William
Randolph Hearst and President Roose-
welt.

Chairman Mack and Mr.. Bryan will be
here tomorrow. as will many other mem
bers of the national committee. 1t is re-
ported that Gov. Haskell is to be asked
bluntly to refute the charges made
against him or resign from the commit
tee and retire from the campaign
Mr.. Bryan. in view of the letter written
by President Roosevelt, is In position
where he must make a reply and he does
not wish to until he has sifted Haskell

To that end. it is declared, Mr. Bryan
directed that Gov. Haskell be summoned
to Chicago for thorough investigation
not only of the charge that Haskell at
tempted to bride former Attorney General
Monnett Of Ohio in the Standard OH suit

by President Roosevelt concerning his
dealings with the Standard Oil Company
in Oklahoma.
The Citizens Alliance Matter.
And there is still another matter that
Mr.. Bryan and the democratic leaders
would like to do little questioning on.
This is in connection with a new charge
that Haskell was instrumental in forming
the Citizens Alliance of Oklahoma, an
avowedly anti-labor organization favoring
the open shop three years ago. 1t Is as
serted that Desires being the principal
promoter of the anti-labor organization
Haskell's name headed the list Of men,
bers, and the society was organized in
his building, the headquarters of the In
dianola Contracting Company
According to the story Mr.. Haskell was
building the five-story Turner Hotel, con-
tracted for at a time when Mr. Haskell
was running for governor. Mr. Haskell
desired to get his labor as cheaply as
possible, so he was instrumental in or
ganizing the branch of the Citizens AL.

evidence collected by the republican state
Mr.. Haskell waged a relentless boycott
against union workmen who had dared ad-
vance the price of labor.
