Democratic Committee, said late last night
that John Garland Pollard had been misn-
formed as TO the activities OF Congressman

came 10 Richmond Sunday night and stop

morning he called me up and later came to
my office at the Capitol. There number
OF men called on him and he went TO several
other offices about the building. He was

FOR some time. he seemed TO have nothing
special TO do and was waiting for his train
time. He left ut p NJ. for his home at

Mr.. Brennaman said the report about his
going about in motor car had probably
originated through the fact that T. Gray
Haddon. chief clerk TO the Attorney Gen
eral was using a car yesterday pre-
election errands. Mr.. Hidden might have
brought one or two men to the capitol 10
see Mr. Flood. or might have Hken him

his sight long enough TO have made any
