WILSON A MYSTERY. poll
ticians in Congress are pondering over the
question. Where does Governor Wilson get
the large amounts he Is spending 10 capture
delegates TO the national convention? For
instance, information has reached the
friends OF Speaker Clark that representa-
tives of Governor Wilson have spent $4,000
10 capture the Oklahoma delegation. From
other quarters come reports of expendi-
lures almost as large For one who showed
such reluctance TO permit his friend Colonel
Watterston to collect from the ordinary
sources of Democratic campaign funds, II
is remarked. Governor Wilson and his
managers have an extraordinarily large sup
ply Of cash. It Is maintained that not even
Mr.. Bryan ever made such liberal ex-
penditures TO capture a nomination. and
that II is not usual for those who wish 10
curry favor with the Democratic party
when they believe it stands a chance OF
success TO contribute so generously merely
TO advance the chances Of a candidate who
has not yet made sure of the nomination.
MHARG MADE GOOD.-Those insur-
gents who were disposed to criticise Orms-
by McHarg because with an unlimited sup
ply Of cash to draw on, he had failed 10
capture any delegates for Colonel Roose-
welt. now admit that since they have
learned the facts regarding the Florida
convention they realize they judged that
entcrprising young man too hastily. II Is
true. OF course that McllarG spent quanti-
ties Of money and captured no delegates,
but there Is abundant evidence that he did
capture newspaper correspondent and an
able one. too-one who put over on Gne

WASHINGTON Feb l0.-The influence OF

charges that the committee was incapable
OF conducting a real probe OF the money

Chairman Puio announced yesterday that
Mr.. Brvan would be among the first Wit
