liam F. Sheehan. of New York, who
testified today before the senate com
mlttee investigating campaign funds
Mr.. Sheehan was then chairman of
the Democratic national executive
committee. Money was sent by the

RADIO and Nebraska, principally.
ITO Maine, did you say % asked a
senator.
Yes, with very gratifying results to
the Democrats" replied SAeehan.
Mr.. SheChan assured the committee
that sums sant to Maine, Colorado and
Nebraska wSre not large.
How much was sent to Nebraska r.

senatorship that year, wasn't hep
Il don't remember exactly; candi-
dates for the senatorship were not
We'll I think he was" interrupted
the Pennsylvania senator.
Mr. Sheehan said he remembered
August Belmont was a large con-
tributor that year and Senator Oliver
asked if Thomas T. Ryan were also a
contributor In the same campaign.
The witness responded that he was.
BELMONT JUST "GUESSED."
Mr.. Sheehan wanted the committee
to understand when he estimated the
Democratic funds in 1904 at 81, ,O00, 900
he was not contradicting August Bel
mont, who guessed on the stand that
the amount was 100000 or 500, 900.
Tt is all a matter of memory" in
sisted Mr.. Sheehan. Il think the ma
tional committee used directly about
$500, 000 l think there came through
the committee some contributions for
specific use in New York state. have
an impression that It amounted to
about 5000, 900"
The witness declared the committee
made a rule at the beginning of the
campaign to accept no money from
any trust He believed no such con-
tributions were made directly or indi-
rectiy.
"There was $4,000 contributed" be-
gan Mr.. Sheehan, by the American
Sugar Refining Company-not by Mr..
Havemeyer-to the state committee.
Before the check was cashed we heard
about it and il was returned"
Senator Clapp asked the witness for
the names Of contributors Of more than
So, 900.
aI recollect Mr.. Belmont chiefly be-
cause OF his testimony" Mr.. Sheehan
replied. 'I was in Maine much of the
time and did not have so much to do
with the raising Of funds. There were
others who contributed more than that
sum but cannot remember them"
who was most active in securing
money! inquired Mr.. Clapp.
why, senator, various people were
soliciting on their own responsibility.
The members OF the committee were
active People were circulariZed. We
published requests for funds. Demo-
Gratis or people interested in success
