audacity and personal popularity Sc

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 80
Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee has prac-
tically admitted that George w. Per
kins told the truth in calling him (Hil-
les) a liar regarding the Republican
chairman's statecent that the Harvest
er trust spent millions of dollars to
get the Republican nomination for
Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago.
Since George w. Perkins called the
statement a plain, downright lie" and
demanded that the Clapp Investigate

Mr.. Hilles and force him to either re-
tract or substantiate his accusation,
the national chairman of the Republi-
can party has become wavy.

In his statement in the Hearst news
papers he made the deliberate accusa-
ton over his signature that "Roose-
vester trust money to gain the Repub-

The statement was circulated broad
cast by the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis as a campaign document.
Confronted with the fact that he
will have to prove the statement, Hill

At the Union League, where he was
a guest Of William T. Tilden, he said,
that he meant that George w. Perkins,

He carefully explained that he had
no evidence and did not wish to state
that the Harvester Trust as a corpora

was told that Perkins had called the
statement untrue, and that he had ask
ed the senatorial commission. headed
by Senator Clapp, to summon him
(Hilles) and force him to prove his
statement or else retract 1t.
He hedged about for a while before
Sulping down the bald signed state

ginally from trust sources.
Il don't say that the Harvester trust
as a corporation spent any money at
all for Roosevelt" said Hilles. 81 do
