Ormsby McHarg Tells of His Expen-
ditures For Colonel Prior to Repub-
Iican Convention.
Washington, Oct 9.-Congressman
William B. Mckinley, who was the
pre-convention manager for President
Taft in the contest for this year
presidential nomination, presented 10
the senate subcommittee investigating
campaign funds accounts showing ne
had spent about 100000 for the presi-
dents candidacy.
TIE said S150,000 was subscribed by
Henry W. Taft and Charles T. Tart,
the presidents brothers, and that John
Hays Hammond, E. 7. Stotesbury and
Andrew Carnegie gave $4,000 each.
Ormsby McHarg, contest manager
for the Roosevelt forces at the Re
publican national convention. told the
committee he spent between s25,OOC
and $4,000 in pre-convention work foI
Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy through
the southern states.
Another chapter was added to the
disputed tale of the so-called "Harrl
man fund" of $4,000 contributed il
1904 when Roosevelt was the nominee
for president, to the Republican cam
paign fund, when Wayne MacVeagh
of Philadelphia, former attorney gen
eral, told the probers of a telephone
conversation H. Nick. Twombly hat
with the late E. H. Hartman in 1904.
MacVeagh said that while he was
In Twombly's office in October, 1914
the latter had a telephone talk, anc
told him that it was with Hartman;
that Hartman had said he had beer
to the White House; that Roosevelt
had expressed anxiety that a $24O,OOt
fund be raised and that Hartman hat
agreed to it.
Charles A Peabody, president of the
Mutual Life Insurance company, Mac
Veagh said, was in Harrimans office
while Hartman was talking with Mr.
Twombly.
This was MacVeagh's version OF
narrative related by Charles Edward
Russell, Socialist nominee for governor
of New York, and Judson G. Welliver
a newspaper man, to the effect that }
P. Morgan had received telephone
call from the White House, demanding
campaign funds.
MacVeagh admitted that he TOLD
Welliver about the Harriman-Twombl!
conversation, but knew Of none II
which Morgan was concerned. He ties
titled that he had been given to un
derstand that in making the contrlbu
ton in 1904 Twombly represented thu
Vanderbilt railroads, Henry c. Fricl
the coal and steel interests and Johl
D. Archbold and the late H. H. Roger
the Standard Oil interests.
Former Senator Depew, of New
York, who followed Mr.. MacVeagh OF
the stand, also threw some interesting
light on the Hartman fund" saylni
that he gave $4,000 to it at the re
quest Of Twombly. He gave $4,000 t
