the Illinois Senate Committee, investi-
eating the election of Senator Lorimer,
as possible factors in Lorimer's cleo
ton, today issued denials of any con-
nection with the election. Writ Cook,
of Duluth, Mimi, testifying before the
investigating committee asserted Ed
ward Hines in May, 1909. over the
phone, told the Governor" that Al
bert J. Hopkins must not be reelected
United States Senator.
w. r. OBrien. also present at the
alleged conversation, corroborated tha
testimony according to NJ. b. Coan,
special investigator for the commit
tee, but said that he thought it was
former Governor Yates with whom
Hines talked.
Much discussion is occasioned here
today by the testimony late yester-
day of F. f. Wiehe, of Cricago, busi-
ness associate of Hines.
Seeking to explain Hines alleged
statement that he put Lorimer" over,
Wiehe said, Il really believe Mr..
Hines thought he elected Lorimer.
Following the conference which he
had with Senator Aldrlch, in which he
was told that President Taft was de-
sirous of having Lorimer elected, he
asked Governor Deneen to throw his
influence toward the election of Lori
mer. Lorimer's election followed and
| suppose Hines thought his act I'm
soliciting the aid of Governor Deneen
was responsible for IT,"
