Is to go deep into the election Of the
Junior senator from Illinois.
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president of
the International Harvester Co., was
before the committee to tell what he
knew of the collection of a 100000
fund alleged to have ben used in Lor-
liners behalf.
He testified that Clarence s. Funk.
general manager of the company had
told him Of the activity in behalf of
Lorimer and that the corporation had
been invited by Edward Hines of the
Lumber Co, TO contribute to an cleo
ton fund.
VIM. J. Hines. who requested per-

than the one OF last winter. which aft

Lorimer.
The new committee appointed by a
resolution Of the senate had not ex-
pected to begin its hearing until June
%, but the desire of material wit
ness to get away to Europe brought
about the decision to begin the taking
of testimony with Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, president of the International
Harvester Co. as the first occupant of
she witness stand.
Mccormick was brought into the
case in connection with testimony Civ
en- before the Helm committee Of the
Illinois senate by Clarence :. Funk,
manager of the harvester company,
but he himself was not a witness be-
fore that committee.
II was not expected that his testi-
mony would be extensive as from
Funk's statement his only knowledge
of the alleged Irregularities in con-
nection with Lorimers election con-
sisted of what Funk had told of his
reported conversation with Edward
Hines relative to the raising of $780,
900 in Lorimer's behalf.
