New York, February 1.-The minutes of the federal grand jury which investigated the wire pool here last year may be used to supply the evidence alleged to have been contained in the trunk full of papers returnd by District Attorney Wise to Charles MacVeagh, general solicitor of Ithe United States Steel corporation.
 It was reported here tonight that some of the principal documents desired in the governments prosecution of this phase of the suit against the Steel corporation had been probably read into the grand jury record. Whether any of the miss ing documents were spread upon the rec ords District Attorney Wise was not prepared this afternoon 70 say The dis trict attorney declined to discuss the case beyond saying that there was 4 possibility that the grand jury records might supply some of the data alleged to have been destroyed
 Tt is not customary 10 record papers of this sort" he said They are gen erally read 10 the grand jury marked as exhibits and introduced into the case without sbelng copied by the stem ographer.'
 Lawyers who have been following the case were inclined to believe that on ac count of the importance of the docu- ments introduced before the grand jury and the possibility that they would be wanted again they had been read into the grand jury record.

Some time before the meeting Monday, Mayor Howze will issue statement set ting out the reasons why it Is wise and expedient at this time to have Tennessee instruct it's vote for the Alabama con gressman. The news of the coming un- derwood rally has caused great deal CT uneaslness among the followers of Mir, Wilson and Governor Harmon. Each had hoped that MT. Underwoods friends would rest quietly in Tennessee and not enter the contest. As a matter Of fact he was easily the second choice of both the Will son and Harmon sympathizers without having any active organiza ton in the state. With a strong organization ih prospect for the past few weeks his orig inal strength has been augmented by supporters from the camps of both Gov ernor Wilson and Governor Harmon.
